Tampa
S2 Capital, a multifamily investment firm based in Dallas, has acquired the Amberly Place apartment complex, consisting of 770 units in Tampa Palms, Florida. The deal, which took place off-market, did not disclose financial details, including the sale price.
This acquisition is a significant milestone for S2 Capital, marking over 50,000 homes acquired by the firm since its inception in 2012. The transaction was facilitated by Institutional Property Advisors and included financing from Freddie Mac, along with participation from two unnamed overseas co-investors.
Michael Bippus, managing director of acquisitions at S2 Capital, highlighted the importance of this acquisition in a top growth market. He noted that there is a unique pricing opportunity arising from the equity void for larger value-add housing projects in the area. This strategy aligns with S2 Capital’s track record of approximately $11 billion in transaction volume and 145 acquisitions to date.
Details on Amberly Place
Amberly Place, built in 1989, is a garden-style apartment community located in the Northeast quadrant of the master-planned Tampa Palms area. Following the acquisition, S2 Capital plans to undertake comprehensive interior renovations alongside enhancements to both interior and exterior amenity spaces, aiming to elevate the living experience for residents.
Market Potential
The Tampa Palms neighborhood is expected to witness strong population growth in the coming years. Currently, there is high demand for multifamily housing, with little to no new supply anticipated in the area for the next 24 months. This projected growth, combined with S2 Capital’s business strategies, suggests a promising future for the Amberly Place complex.
S2 Capital’s Investment Strategy
S2 Capital is actively searching for additional investment opportunities in high-growth markets, including Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The firm’s investment strategy centers on value-add and core-plus opportunities in regions experiencing rising demand for multifamily housing.
With the acquisition of Amberly Place, S2 Capital aims to utilize its value-add business model and operating platform to improve operational efficiencies and successfully reposition the asset within this burgeoning market.
Conclusion
The acquisition of Amberly Place not only underscores S2 Capital’s continued growth and expansion in the multifamily housing sector but also emphasizes the firm’s commitment to enhancing residential living environments in prime locations. As it reaches this noteworthy milestone, S2 Capital remains focused on its strategic goal of meeting the increasing demand for multifamily housing across the nation.
