Carmel Partners Purchases Downtown Boston Multifamily Tower Using $137.3M Acquisition Financing

by John Nelson

BOSTON — Carmel Partners, a San Francisco-based multifamily investor, has purchased LUKA on the Common, a 30-story apartment high-rise in downtown Boston. Northern Virginia-based AvalonBay Communities sold the 398-unit property, which was formerly known as the AVA Theater District. Carmel Partners utilized a $137.3 million Fannie Mae acquisition loan to fund the purchase. Jeff Burns, senior managing director of multifamily finance at Walker & Dunlop, originated the five-year, interest-only loan on behalf of the buyer. The agency loan features an early rate lock. “Boston’s multifamily fundamentals are among the strongest in the nation, driven by limited existing and future supply,” says Burns. “The housing scarcity has impacted both rent growth and the for-sale condominium market [in Boston] and has enabled us to refinance successfully alongside the team at Carmel.” The sales price was not disclosed, but the Boston Business Journal reported that the property traded for $212 million. Walker & Dunlop’s investment sales team in Boston, which brokered the transaction, disclosed it was the highest price paid for an apartment complex in the city in more than a year. Lee Bloch, partner at Carmel Partners, says that LUKA on the Common has an “enviable location” as it is about a 10-minute …

by Taylor Williams

By Channing Hamilton ATLANTA — Investment markets have been tumultuous over the past year, with high interest rates and inflation impacting the flow of debt and equity across the commercial real estate industry. Last year, many investors and brokers chose to weather the storm and try to make it to 2025, when it was estimated that interest rates would begin to moderate. Recently, however, conditions seem to be improving in the seniors housing sector, where many investors are leaving behind the “survive till 2025” strategy that defined 2023. Editor’s note: InterFace Conference Group, a division of France Media Inc., produces networking and educational conferences for commercial real estate executives. To sign up for email announcements about specific events, visit www.interfaceconferencegroup.com/subscribe.  “The relative positioning of seniors housing compared with other real estate asset classes has improved dramatically since last year,” said Blake Peeper, senior managing director of Bridge Investment Group, which is based in Salt Lake City. Peeper attributed his optimism in the seniors housing sector to a variety of factors. “Supply and demand dynamics are in our favor,” he explained. “There’s been a lot of confidence in future net operating income (NOI) growth, and the bid-ask spread has really narrowed.
