Admiral Capital Group and Security Properties on Thursday announced the sale of Waters Edge Apartments, a 304-unit multifamily property in Kent.

The identity of the buyer and purchase price were not disclosed in a media release from the companies.

Admiral and Security Properties acquired the apartment community, 6305 S. 238th Pl., in February 2015 through a joint venture. The investment provided an opportunity to purchase a well-located asset in the fourth largest manufacturing and distribution center market in the United States at a discount to replacement cost.

During its ownership, the joint venture re-positioned the property by curing deferred maintenance, enhancing the exterior and upgrading unit interiors, according to a media release. Select exterior improvements included re-siding the entire property, replacing wooden decks and installing a new playground amenity. Interior renovations included modernizing kitchen cabinets, appliances and flooring and renovating bathrooms. Overall, the upgrades re-positioned the property to compete with higher quality assets with higher overall rents.

“Our strategy is to identify capital-deprived assets in markets with a supply and demand imbalance,” said Dan Bassichis, co-founder of Admiral Capital Group. “Waters Edge was an ideal fit and provided the opportunity for our partnership to invest the necessary capital to improve the property and experience for the residents and capture a share of the growing demand and rent growth in the submarket.”

“Waters Edge is representative of the opportunities we like to target. By executing an extensive renovation plan, including a complete re-side, the partnership was able to enhance the asset’s physical condition to accurately align with its submarket-leading location,” said Barrett Sigmund, senior director of investments at Security Properties.

“The investment in Waters Edge was the continuation of a long-term relationship with SPI,” said Jarett Kaplus, principal at Admiral. “We continue to proactively seek additional value-add multifamily investments nationwide, including in the Pacific Northwest.”

Philip Assouad and Giovanni Napoli, commercial real estate brokers with Kidder Mathews, handled the Waters Edge sale.
