By Will Mathews and Mike Kidd of Colliers What is the reason behind Atlanta’s explosive growth over the last 20 to 30 years? Simply put, it’s been the exponential increase in population driven by an influx of new residents from the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Atlanta is home to 17 Fortune 500 companies (the third-largest market in the nation), numerous high-paying jobs, a culturally diverse population and multiple prestigious universities, laying a strong foundation for incredible net migration. Multifamily investors are drawn to Atlanta, evidenced by the region’s high volume of multifamily transactions. According to MSCI Real Capital Analytics, Atlanta is currently ranked No. 4 in the country behind New York City, Dallas and Los Angeles in transactions. Despite challenges related to new supply and systematic traffic problems, the future of Atlanta’s multifamily market is very bright for a number of reasons. 7.9 Million by 2050 According to the Atlanta Regional Commission, the population of Atlanta will grow to 7.9 million, or an increase of 1.8 million people from 2020 to 2050.

By John Nelson Lending activity in the multifamily divisions of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is in the midst of a prolonged slump.  The 2023 multifamily loan volumes for the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) were down significantly year-over-year, with Fannie Mae at $52 billion last year (compared to $69 billion in 2022) and Freddie Mac at $48 billion (compared to $73.8 billion in 2022).  And it doesn’t appear that deal volume will return to the frothy levels achieved in 2022 this year. Fannie Mae executed $10.1 billion in loans during the first quarter of 2024, which is almost identical to its first-quarter 2023 production. Freddie Mac generated $9 billion in multifamily loans in the first quarter — up significantly from $6 billion in first-quarter 2023 — but down nearly 45 percent from fourth-quarter 2023. While the GSEs freely acknowledge the slowdown in business, they are more than holding their own when it comes to serving borrowers. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reports that multifamily loan originations totaled $264 billion in 2023, with the agencies accounting for 38 percent of all multifamily originations. By comparison, the share of overall multifamily originations was closer to 29 percent for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac …

NEW YORK CITY — New York City-based investment firm KKR has acquired a portfolio of multifamily properties for roughly $2.1 billion. Development and operating company Quarterra Multifamily was the seller.  Situated throughout the United States, the portfolio comprises more than 5,200 multifamily units. The properties include a mix of mid- and high-rise buildings, with a concentration in the states of California, Washington, Florida, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado and New Jersey. The number of individual properties was not disclosed. According to Daniel Rudin, KKR managing director, the portfolio “serves high-growth metropolitan areas across the country, where new supply will slow down significantly looking out beyond the next couple years.” “We believe this is a great moment to invest in real estate, as transaction activity starts to pick up on the heels of two years of dislocation in commercial real estate markets,” adds Justin Pattner, partner and head of real estate equity in the Americas with KKR.  Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP advised KKR in the transaction, and Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP and Jones Lang LaSalle advised the seller.  Carter-Haston, MG Properties and Dalan Real Estate will work with KKR to operate the properties moving forward.  — Hayden Spiess
