WDIP, Pacific Life and Magma Equities Acquire $189 Million Texas Multifamily Portfolio
DENVER and MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., Nov. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Walker & Dunlop today announced a joint venture between Walker & Dunlop Investment Partners ("WDIP"), Pacific Life and Magma Equities in the $189 million acquisition of an 820-unit apartment portfolio in Texas. The properties include The Village at Bellaire, a 580-unit apartment community in Houston and Lost Spurs Ranch, a 240-unit property in Roanoke.
"Utilizing funds from a programmatic JV we created with Pacific Life, this investment underscores our continued confidence in the stability and growth potential of multifamily properties across the country," said WDIP President Mitchell Resnick. "Magma has a long track record of bringing a heightened level of professionalism to the management of apartment communities. This makes them a very attractive sponsor and we're excited to partner with such an industry leader to create value at these properties in two of Texas' biggest metros."
The properties were both previously owned and operated by the seller. Upon acquisition, Magma plans to commence a significant value-add campaign to the two residential communities, renovating interiors, bringing rents up to market rates, and creating additional revenue streams at each property.
"With upside potential in each property and strong supply and demand dynamics in both markets, these assets are very strong additions to our Texas portfolio," said Magma Equities Director of Acquisitions Scott Ogilvie. "Because of our proven platform and our strong relationships across the industry, we are seeing a strong pipeline of compelling investment opportunities, and we aim to continue growing our multifamily holdings across the Sunbelt in the coming years."
