RADCO Purchases Apartment Community in Metro Atlanta for $35.3M

KENNESAW, GA. — The RADCO Cos. has acquired Estates at Ridenour, a 255-unit Class A apartment community in Kennesaw, a northern suburb of Atlanta, for $35.3 million. RADCO financed the acquisition with private capital and debt from Freddie Mac. The Atlanta-based multifamily investment firm purchased the asset from a limited liability company based in South Carolina. The apartment units average 1,077 square feet and are situated in one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans, as well as two-story townhomes. Community amenities include a resort-style pool with grilling areas, fitness facility, clubroom and a business center with Wi-Fi. Multi Housing Advisors brokered the transaction. RADCO will invest $2.6 million to upgrade Estates at Ridenour. The company’s renovation plan includes exterior improvements, expanding the property’s amenity package and unit upgrades. Additionally, Estates at Ridenour will be rebranded as Ashford Ridenour. The property is located on a 13.1-acre lot off the intersection of Barrett and Cobb parkways, nearly two miles from I-75 and three miles from Kennesaw State University. The property is also two-and-a-half miles from Town Center at Cobb, a nearly 1.3 million-square-foot regional mall, and across the street from Kennesaw Marketplace, a new Whole Foods-anchored mixed-use development under construction.
