The Reserve at Asheville to Undergo Upgrades
Cushman & Wakefield has arranged the sale of The Reserve at Asheville, a 380-unit apartment community located in Asheville, North Carolina. Watson Bryant, Marc Robinson and Jordan McCarley of Cushman & Wakefield represented the seller, Carlisle Residential Properties, in the transaction. Graycliff Capital Partners acquired the property.
“The sale of The Reserve at Asheville was with mixed emotions. This was a very unique property as it offered individual, townhouse-style entrances, and expansive floor plans with direct unit access from garages in many of the units,” said Matthew M. Rankin, President & CEO of Carlisle Residential Properties. “Our decision to exit was primarily driven by our investor hold period parameters. The team at Cushman & Wakefield did an outstanding job managing the process of the sale, and Graycliff was a pleasure with which to work and their management team ensured a smooth transition.”
“The Reserve at Asheville fits well with Graycliff’s strategy for investing in underserved submarkets of areas with tremendous growth potential,” said Paul Aiesi, partner at Graycliff. “The property’s location offers a perfect balance of convenience to downtown and affordability – a win-win for Graycliff and the residents of Reserve. This acquisition complements our existing holdings in the Asheville area and we look forward to announcing upgrades and enhancements in the coming months.”
Built in 2008, The Reserve at Asheville has averaged 94.7% occupancy over the past two years and is situated along Highway-63, a major Asheville thoroughfare.
“The Reserve at Asheville is a unique asset with some of the largest floorplans in Asheville,” Bryant said. “The property is a great addition to Graycliff’s impressive Asheville portfolio and makes Graycliff one of the largest owners in the city.”
