IMG Acquires Whitley Apartments Near Greenville for $42.5M

CENTRAL, S.C. — Investors Management Group Inc. (IMG) has acquired The Whitley Apartments, a 250-unit multifamily community located in the Greenville suburb of Central. Built in 1997, The Whitley is located near Clemson University and several Upstate South Carolina employers, including BMW. IMG plans to invest more than $2 million in capital improvements at the property. Will Mathews of Colliers brokered the transaction. IMG raised $21 million from 160 investor clients in 22 states to fund the acquisition, and eight investors completed 1031 exchanges by acquiring Tenant in Common (TIC) positions in the property. IMG also secured a 10-year, non-recourse Fannie Mae loan through Arbor Realty Trust. The loan was underwritten with a 30-year amortization schedule and a 60 percent loan-to-value ratio. Over the past year, IMG has sponsored the acquisition of over 1,700 total units totaling $372 million in transactions nationally. Last year the firm acquired the nearby Tapestry at Hollingsworth Park in Greenville.
