NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluerock Value Exchange (BVEX) announced the successful sale of Ansley Village, a 294-unit apartment community located in Macon, Georgia (the "Property"). Bluerock acquired the investment property in May 2014 for approximately $30.9 million and successfully sold the property for approximately $34.15 million in October 2019; resulting in a 137% total return on equity investment, inclusive of distributions.
"We are very pleased to have delivered very attractive total returns to the Investors in Ansley Village ahead of our forecasted hold period," said Josh Hoffman, President of BVEX. "In addition to the gain on sale, the property generated high cash distributions of over $4.6 million during the investment period which is a very important element to our DST Investors. These returns were primarily driven by the operational consistency of our asset and property management teams that maintained occupancy rates near 97% and successfully increased revenues and net operating income (NOI) over the investment period by a significant 21% and 32% respectively," added Hoffman.
This sale marks the fifth successful full-cycle DST property disposition by BVEX in 2019. In the aggregate, BVEX sold five properties for a combined $226 million as compared to total investor purchase price of $161 million, returning more than $122 million in total returns, inclusive of distributions, on $70 million of original equity, for an average annual return of approximately 17.9%.
