Capital Square Delivers Approximately 200% Total Return* to DST Investors in Georgia Multifamily Sale
ATLANTA (Nov. 7, 2022) – Capital Square, one of the nation’s leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer of multifamily communities, announced today the $75.5 million sale of Ivy Commons Apartments, a 344-unit community in Marietta, Georgia, less than 10 miles from Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves.
The property was owned by a group of Delaware statutory trust, or DST, investors who realized approximately 200% total return and 20% internal rate of return from their 1031 exchange investment.*
“Capital Square is thrilled to have sponsored another successful full-cycle DST program for Section 1031 exchange and cash investors,” said Louis Rogers, founder and co-chief executive officer of Capital Square. “This value-add DST program produced stable cash flow as anticipated and an exceptional profit on sale, resulting in approximately 200% total return and 20% IRR. The investors are thrilled with the outcome; most are reinvesting with Capital Square in another DST/1031 to continue the tax deferral under Section 1031.”
Capital Square acquired the 28.4-acre property, located at 3555 Austell Road SW, in July 2018. The community comprises 39 residential buildings and a dual leasing center with a clubhouse. Ivy Commons Apartments offers one-, two- and three-bedroom units averaging 1,075 square feet. Community amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center, business center, two tennis courts, laundry facility, playground and a conference room.
“The sale of Ivy Commons is the final step in the successful execution of our business plan, which was centered around renovating units,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer. “Approximately $2.7 million was invested for renovations and upgrades to the property, improving residential life and the community as a whole. This dramatically increased the value of the property.”
Since its founding in 2012, Capital Square has acquired 160 real estate assets for over 6,500 investors seeking quality replacement properties that qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and other investors seeking stable cash flow and capital appreciation.
