VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (NYSE: AHH) announced the closing of the sale of Hoffler Place in Charleston, South Carolina. The disposition of the student housing property underscores the Company’s broader strategy to focus on conventional apartment communities when acquiring or developing multifamily assets.
“As we’ve said before, one of the strengths of a diversified model is our ability to adjust and adapt to changing economic dynamics,” said Louis Haddad, President & CEO of Armada Hoffler Properties. “Based on current, favorable market conditions, our student housing assets represent one of the most attractive sources of capital available to fund our future growth. We look forward to completing our strategic exit from student housing in the next few weeks and will continue to find the most cost-effective ways to produce the greatest returns for our shareholders.”
As detailed in previous earnings calls, Armada Hoffler Properties is executing a strategic plan to exit the student housing space and utilize the proceeds for new development and acquisition opportunities centered around conventional multifamily, mixed-use and grocery-anchored shopping center properties. Hoffler Place was one of two remaining student housing assets in the Company’s portfolio. The pending sale of Summit Place is anticipated to close by the end of the month.
Located at 595 King Street, Hoffler Place caters to students attending the nearby College of Charleston. The seven-story building includes 74 apartment units, 258 beds and 12,000 square feet of retail space. Armada Hoffler Properties completed construction of the building in 2019. At the time of the sale, Hoffler Place was 97% occupied.
