ATLANTA, GA - 33 Holdings LLC is excited to announce the acquisition of two multifamily properties, located in Birmingham, Alabama, for a purchase price of $3M. Acquired by its subsidiary, 33H Fund II LLC - It’s Distressed & Foreclosure Residential Fund, the portfolio purchase represents the first acquisition by 33 Holdings LLC (33H) outside of Atlanta, GA as it expands its investment footprint into other South East US States.
The properties in the portfolio, include 128 Units of Garden Style Apartments, located within five miles of each other and three miles from downtown Birmingham and consists of one, two and three-bedroom garden-style apartment homes. The Birmingham area continues to remain one of the South’s fastest-growing areas and base to education & healthcare sectors in the region. The property is geographically well positioned and close to major interstates, retailers, and employers like University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB) & Princeton Baptist Medical Center.
Both properties were approximately 30% occupied at purchase and were foreclosed last year by the lender. 33H started discussions on this acquisition in December 2019 with the Seller/Lender and signed the contract in January 2020 slated for March 2020 closing after extensive due diligience. Due to the Global Pandemic hitting the US in March 2020, lenders backed out of the deal causing the parties to re-evaluate, re-negotiate and re-underwrite the deal. After extensive underwriting to Post-COVID19 world, 33H decided to move forward on the deal given they were acquiring a pre-covid19 foreclosed asset at post covid-19 pricing.
