Austin, TX (Sept. 28, 2021) — Newmark announces the sale of Northstar Apartments, a 200-unit, value-add multifamily property located at 12001 Metric Boulevard in Austin, Texas. The property’s rare infill location is on the doorstep of The Domain, Austin’s “second downtown” and is minutes from Apple’s $1 billion campus currently under construction.
Newmark Senior Managing Director Jim Young represented the seller, Houston-based privately held real estate investment firm Nitya Capital, in the sale to buyer, Langdon Street Capital, a value-add acquisition and development real estate company based in Beverly Hills, California. The property sold for an undisclosed price.
“This is our third multifamily acquisition in the past 12 months and we’re closing in on 600 units. We’ve already invested close to $100 million in Austin and we plan on continuing to build our portfolio in a market that we believe has exponential growth,” said Matt Steinberg, Director of Acquisitions of Langdon Street Capital.
Built in 1986, the property features ample community lifestyle amenities including a pool with sundeck, covered pergola with a grill, outdoor fire pit, 24-hour fitness studio, modern clubhouse with kitchen and lounge, and dog park. Unit finishes and amenities include granite countertops, glass backsplashes, stainless steel or black appliance packages, built-in bookshelves, fireplaces, oversized patios/balconies and storage. Northstar Apartments is located minutes from major tech employers such as Apple, Dell, IBM, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon and VRBO.
“The property’s location proximate to Austin’s tech employment cluster made it attractive to investors and will continue to position the asset as a competitive residential option for the always-growing Austin workforce,” said Young.
According to Newmark’s 2Q21 U.S. Multifamily Capital Markets report, over the past 12 months, Austin experienced an influx of year-over-year sales volume which exceeded 45% annualized growth. At the end of the second quarter, Austin had recorded $5.7 billion in sales volume over the course of the previous 12 months.
