BMC Investments and Oak Coast Properties Announce $177M Acquisition of Ivy Crossing Portfolio in Denver
BMC Investments and Oak Coast Properties announced the $177 million acquisition of Ivy Crossing, a portfolio of 1,023 units comprised of the Timberline, Woodhaven and Westwood Apartments, three multifamily properties that provide critical workforce housing in Denver. The acquisition marks the ninth and largest investment partnership between BMC and Oak Coast Properties, as well as the eleventh Oak Coast Properties assignment for BLDG Management, the property management affiliate of BMC.
HFF arranged the 15-year, full-term I/O $120 million financing for the acquisition through Freddie Mac’s Optigo Social Impact initiative.
“As our single largest takeover to date, Ivy Crossing marks a major milestone in our commitment to improving workforce housing in the Denver metro area,” said Matt Joblon, CEO of BMC Investments. “Not only does it demonstrate our ability to execute an extremely complicated transaction — combining three properties into one to create one of the largest multifamily assets in Denver — but it also further solidifies the strong partnership between Oak Coast Properties, BMC Investments and BLDG Management.”
The multifamily properties included in the Ivy Crossing portfolio are all located within the prestigious Cherry Creek School District, widely recognized as one of the best in the state. The three multifamily properties provide critical workforce housing in the region and will be renovated and rebranded as one large community named Ivy Crossing.
“This acquisition represents a true one-of-a-kind opportunity within metro Denver to reposition three individual legacy assets and to create critical mass by combining them into one of the largest in a region where housing is in high demand,” said Phillip Nahas, managing partner of Oak Coast Properties. “Not only is the upside potential of this value-add portfolio substantial, but these apartments will provide improved housing options for Denver’s workforce.”
Terrance Hunt, vice chairman of ARA Newmark in Denver represented the buyers in the transaction.
The HFF team that arranged the Freddie Mac loan on behalf of BMC and Oak Coast Properties was led by Senior Managing Director Charles Halladay and Directors Brock Yaffe and Rick Salinas.
