SPANISH OAKS APARTMENTS SELLS FOR $50M
Next Wave Investors LLC, a private equity firm focused on value-add multifamily investments, recently sold Spanish Oaks, a 216-unit garden-style multifamily community for $50 million after acquiring it for $28.5 million in February of last year.
Through strategic, streamlined renovations and a unique awareness of the market, the firm was able to realize significant value within 15 months of ownership, according to Jordan Fisher, principal at Next Wave.
“We began our acquisition of this property amidst the thick of pandemic-driven uncertainty in October 2020, when investors generally saw a light at the end of the tunnel but still shied away from largely tourism-driven cities like Las Vegas and Orlando,” he said. “Because we already owned assets in the market, we knew that multifamily performance remained strong, in part due to effective government subsidies. Our foresight that visitors would return to Vegas sooner rather than later, coupled with strong fundamentals and ongoing diversification of the local economy projected in the pre-pandemic market, gave us confidence to acquire this asset at far below replacement cost.”
Drawing upon nearly 20 years of hands-on experience in the operation and enhancement of multifamily properties, the Next Wave team also created value through implementing a strategic value-add business plan.
According to David Sloan, principal at Next Wave, the population of Clark County has increased by roughly 20 percent over the last 20 years, and looking ahead, the population is projected to grow by another 8.3 percent by 2032.
“As our firm dials in on key submarkets throughout the Western U.S., Las Vegas has continued to demonstrate one of the strongest markets for value-add investments and regional growth,” Sloan said. “Spanish Oaks was a particularly opportunistic play, and the increased strength and demand of the submarket informed us that a three-year hold was unnecessary, hence the quick turnover and sale at nearly double the purchase price in just over a year.”
Spanish Oaks Apartments, which were built in 1976, are located less than 10 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. The property is situated along the Interstate 15 and State Route 159, also providing residents access to 10 million square feet of office in downtown Las Vegas as well as proximity to retailers, recreation and award-winning schools.
