by John Nelson January 9, 2023

CHICAGO — The Pizzuti Cos., a private real estate development and management firm based in Columbus, Ohio, has broken ground on Coppia, a 19-story high-rise apartment tower in Chicago. The 298-unit community will be located at 1101 Van Buren St., which is situated at the southern end of Aberdeen Street in the city’s West Loop district. Pizzuti expects to complete Coppia in 2024. The property will sit across from a Target store and next to Chicago Transit Authority’s Racine Avenue Blue Line Station, as well as three blocks west of I-90. Future residents will be near Chicago’s Fulton Market District, the Greektown neighborhood and Illinois Medical District. The name Coppia is Italian for “couple,” which Pizzuti says was inspired by the project having both a transit-oriented setting and the design of the façade, which features geometric figures split by contrasting glass patterns. The design-build team includes architect Goettsch Partners, general contractor Power Construction and property management firm Village Green. The community will feature studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units with floor-to-ceiling glass and high-end finishes.

How to Finance Multifamily Acquisitions Under Negative Leverage Conditions

by Sarah Daniels January 9, 2023

By Colin Grayson, Lument If you consider multifamily real estate assets to be a good investment, you are in good company. At mid-year, asset managers and private equity firms alone held an estimated $325 billion of levered dry powder set aside for this purpose, enough cash to finance nearly every acquisition closed in the United States in 2021, the highest investment sales volume on record. Despite nearly unanimous support for the asset class, however, multifamily transaction volume in the third quarter slumped year-over-year for the first time since the peak of the pandemic. The mainspring was a sharp rise in mortgage financing costs triggered by high inflation and the Federal Reserve’s commitment to raising rates to bring it under control. Generic rates for 65 percent loan-to-value (LTV) first mortgage debt stood on 5.71 percent at the end of November, representing an increase of 248 basis points since the beginning of the year. Even as financing costs soared, asset pricing changed very little. Initial net cash flow yields of transactions closed in the third quarter of 2022 averaged only 4.6 percent, according to Real Capital Analytics, an increase of 10 basis points from second-quarter 2022 levels. At the same time, cap …
