ExchangeRight Exits the Multifamily Market

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ExchangeRight has brought its sixth and final multifamily offering full cycle, generating total returns of 154.48% including return of capital to the DST and its investors. These returns represent a 14.35% annualized return on investors’ capital, which is over 2.4 times higher than the company’s original target of 5.96% annual returns. ExchangeRight provided uninterrupted monthly distributions at or in excess of the company’s projections throughout the offering’s hold period.

The El Paso Apartment Portfolio was a two-property Class B value-add apartment offering totaling 393 units located in El Paso, Texas. With the sale ExchangeRight capitalized on value-add measures that it implemented to increase net operating income, exiting while buyer underwriting is aggressive and valuations remain at record levels. ExchangeRight executed its value-add strategy throughout the hold period by renovating units and increasing management efficiencies at the properties to achieve strong occupancy rates.

“We are pleased to have completed another successful multifamily exit event during this particular market cycle,” said Warren Thomas, a managing partner of ExchangeRight. “Profitably exiting the multifamily market at this opportunistic moment demonstrates our commitment to maximize value for investors and preserve their capital at both the time of acquisition and disposition.”

“When we initially became active in the multifamily market in 2015, we were able to acquire properties in the 6%-7% cap rate range,” said Joshua Ungerecht, a managing partner of ExchangeRight. “What we’re seeing in today’s market is that many multifamily properties are trading from the high 3% to the low 5% cap rate range. That is not an attractive market to buy in, but it’s a phenomenal market to sell in. Exiting at this time is the best way to serve our investors and to protect and grow their wealth.”
