Armada Hoffler Completes Strategic Exit From Student Housing Space With Sale of Charleston Property
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 26, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) successfully completed its strategic exit from the student housing space by closing the sale of Summit Place in Charleston, South Carolina. The disposition of the student housing property marks the final sale in the asset class, underscoring the Company’s broader strategy to focus on conventional apartment communities when acquiring or developing multifamily assets.
“The Summit Place transaction allows us to fully shift our focus and resources on new investment and development opportunities in conventional multifamily, mixed-use and retail,” said Louis Haddad, President & CEO of Armada Hoffler Properties. “We are well-positioned to move quickly on such opportunities in our target markets. Producing the greatest returns for our shareholders with the lowest cost of capital remains our top priority going forward.”
As detailed in previous earnings calls, Armada Hoffler Properties is utilizing the proceeds for development and acquisition opportunities centered around conventional multifamily, mixed-use and grocery-anchored shopping center properties.
Completed by Armada Hoffler Properties in the third quarter of 2020 at the corner of Spring and Lee streets, Summit Place is a five-story building with 357 beds and an amenity offering on par with Class A conventional apartment communities. It caters to students attending the College of Charleston, which is located one mile from the property.
Earlier this month, Armada Hoffler Properties announced the closing of the sale of Hoffler Place, also in Charleston. Hoffler Place and Summit Place were the company’s last remaining student housing assets.
