StoneRiver Company Acquires Concord Ridge in Charlotte, NC

StoneRiver Company, a multifamily real estate firm based in Birmingham, Alabama, announces its acquisition of Concord Ridge, a 336-unit community in the Charlotte, NC MSA. StoneRiver’s in-house property management division, StoneRiver Property Management, is managing the property. The asset is the fifth acquisition in StoneRiver Investment Fund II, a multifamily real estate investment fund that closed in July 2021.

 

Concord Ridge, a garden-style apartment community in Concord, North Carolina, a desirable suburb of Charlotte, is conveniently located just minutes away from The Concord Mills Mall – one of Charlotte’s top retail and entertainment destinations. Additionally, the area has recently seen the development of new facilities for companies such as Eli Lilly and Red Bull, which have brought thousands of jobs to the area.

“As the second largest financial center in the US, and with over 174,000 employed in the life sciences/health industry, we are confident in Charlotte’s robust and diversified economy. Combined with the high quality of life in the Concord area, we believe Concord Ridge will be a successful investment for StoneRiver and our investors,” said Donald Gambril, Investment Associate of StoneRiver Company.

 

The property, built in 2017, features several attractive amenities. These include a saltwater swimming pool with an in-pool tanning ledge, a fenced dog park that has agility equipment and a pet wash/spa, a modern fitness center, and comfortable conversation firepit lounge areas. The property’s spacious and open floor plans boast luxurious interiors that showcase granite countertops and beautifully crafted high-end finishes.

 

“StoneRiver’s investment philosophy is to target select Southeastern markets where we can successfully operate throughout the economic cycle—not just when times are good. We look for sustainable growth supported by a diverse set of strong economic drivers and favorable supply and demand dynamics. The current trends in Charlotte and the Southeastern U.S. make them ideal areas for StoneRiver’s growth,” explains Joseph Welden.

 

StoneRiver launched fundraising for StoneRiver Investment Fund III (Fund III) on July 17, 2023. Fund III will primarily seek to acquire and develop well-located, Southeast multifamily properties in growing or stable markets with healthy employment and appealing demographics over its investment period.

StoneRiver Company Completes Sale of Knoxville, TN Property

StoneRiver Company, a Birmingham, Alabama-based multifamily real estate company, announces that it has completed its sale of The Ridge at Hamilton Crossing Apartments. The Knoxville, TN property was the first acquisition for StoneRiver Investment Fund II (Fund II). Cushman & Wakefield represented StoneRiver in this transaction, and the terms of the sale were not disclosed.

 

The Ridge at Hamilton Crossing is a Class A garden-style community consisting of 353 units. It is situated in the Alcoa/Maryville submarket in Knoxville, Tennessee. StoneRiver acquired the property in April 2021 due to its reputation and strong relationships with developers, owners, and brokers in the Southeast. The investment was strategic, given the property’s thriving submarket and StoneRiver’s vast experience and expertise in the Knoxville market. As such, The Ridge at Hamilton Crossing served as an excellent first investment for Fund II and its investors.

StoneRiver Property Management (SRPM), StoneRiver’s in-house property management division, played a pivotal role in implementing various operational improvements to increase ancillary income, upgrading amenities to further expand the luxury resident experience, and overseeing minor unit improvements to freshen and maintain high-end finishes during its ownership period.

 

“The Ridge at Hamilton Crossing serves as an example of our company’s ability to deliver solid returns to our investors via an effectively developed and executed business plan,” said Joseph Welden, President and Chief Investment Officer of StoneRiver Company. “I credit the success to the hands-on management and reliable execution of the plan by SRPM and the asset management team.”

 

This sale marks StoneRiver Company’s first disposition from Fund II. StoneRiver launched its third multifamily fund on July 17, 2023, and is currently fundraising for StoneRiver Investment Fund III (Fund III).  The fund will primarily seek to acquire and develop well-located, Southeast multifamily properties in growing or stable markets with healthy employment and appealing demographics over its investment period.

StoneRiver Company Acquires Terraces at Town Center in Jacksonville, FL

StoneRiver Company, a multifamily real estate firm based in Birmingham, Alabama, is pleased to announce its acquisition of Terraces at Town Center, a 240-unit, garden-style apartment community located in Jacksonville, Florida.  StoneRiver’s in-house property management division, StoneRiver Property Management, is managing the property. Terraces at Town Center is the fourth acquisition in StoneRiver Investment Fund II, a multifamily real estate investment fund that closed in July 2021.

Built in 2013, Terraces at Town Center features spacious one- and two-bedroom apartment homes with lake or pool views in select units. Community amenities include a resort-style pool with in-water lounge seating, an outdoor kitchen with gas grills, a technology room, a dog park, and one and two-car garages.  The property is situated on the city’s southeastern side, approximately 9 miles from downtown Jacksonville, one of the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas over the last decade. Jacksonville’s attractive quality of life, relatively low cost of living, diversified economy, and rapid job growth have helped drive the migration to the region.   The property is located minutes away from the St. Johns Town Center shopping center, which offers residents abundant retail and a live/work/play environment.

StoneRiver’s business plan includes interior upgrades to all 240 units and exterior and amenity improvements to enhance the resident experience, including the addition of private pet yards.

“Terraces at Town Center represents an outstanding value-add investment opportunity,” said Joseph Welden, President and Chief Investment Officer of StoneRiver Company. “StoneRiver intends to capitalize on robust submarket rent growth, strong resident demographics, the explosive expansion of the Jacksonville economy, and the improvement of out-of-date interior finishes. In addition, StoneRiver Property Management will manage the property to support consistent rent growth and value creation.”

StoneRiver is currently seeking additional multifamily acquisition and development opportunities in the Southeast for StoneRiver Investment Fund II.
