The property is less than a 15-minute drive from Athens’ top employers, including University of Georgia, Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center, Athens-Clarke County Government and Clarke County School District.

The $26.9 million fair market value of High Ridge was established based on the average of two independent MAI appraisals. Additionally, the board of directors of Capital Square Apartment REIT obtained a fairness opinion from Robert A. Stanger & Company, a third-party investment banking firm.

The original Fannie Mae loan with a favorable interest rate was assumed by the REIT and a supplemental loan was made by Fannie Mae at closing. Walker & Dunlop, Inc. was instrumental in the origination of the original loan and the new supplemental loan.

“The sale of High Ridge Apartments demonstrates Capital Square’s ability to deliver attractive total returns to DST investors, providing a significant appreciation in value over a seven-year holding period,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer. “The High Ridge DST investment provided investors with access to higher quality real estate than they would have been able to afford on their own through an efficient 1031 exchange process. Investors who participated in the UPREIT transaction received enhanced portfolio diversification and greater cash flow along with numerous REIT benefits, including liquidity options.”²

1. The equity multiple is the sum of sales proceeds plus cash flow distributions received throughout the hold divided by the original equity invested. The “total return” represents the ratio of total sales proceeds and distributions through the life of the asset over the total initial equity invested. The “annualized return” is defined as the difference between net sale proceeds and initial investment, plus the distributions over the holding period, divided by the initial investment; divided by the number of months; times 12. The ROE and annualized return are net of fees and represent a return to an individual investor. No representation is made that any investment will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those achieved in the past or that losses will not be incurred.

2. Distributions are estimated based on historical operations of the DST and the REIT. Future distribution declarations of the Trust (and therefore the OP) are at the discretion of the REIT’s board of directors and are not guaranteed.
