Asset Disposition
Controlled Subsidiary Investment – Jax2 JV LLC - Mandarin Property
On June 6, 2016, we directly acquired ownership of a “majority-owned subsidiary”, Jax2 JV LLC (the “RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary”), for a purchase price of $14,455,000, which was the initial stated value of our equity interest in the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary (the “RSE Jacksonville Investment”). The RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds to close on the acquisition of two stabilized garden-style multifamily properties totaling 679 units located in Jacksonville, FL, with one asset located at 4083 Sunbeam Road, Jacksonville, FL 32257 (the“Mandarin Property”), and the second asset located at 1251 Beacon Point Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246 (the“Regency Property”, and, together with the Mandarin Property, the“RSE Jacksonville Properties”). The investment strategy for both properties was to: 1) renovate exterior common areas and interior unit finishes; 2) subsequently, increase rents; and 3) pursue additional fee-income where feasible.
The 1-U filing for our initial acquisition of an equity interest in the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary can be foundhere. On March 21, 2017, we provided an update on renovation progress at the Mandarin Property, which can be foundhere. On March 6, 2018, we filed performance projections for the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary and RSE Jacksonville Properties, which can be foundhere. On May 14, 2018, the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary secured incremental debt financing, the details of which can be foundhere.
On August 30, 2019, the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary sold the Mandarin Property for a sales price of approximately $63,500,000. Proceeds from the sale totaled approximately $17,528,000, net of repayment of the $37,290,000 of outstanding principal on the senior loan, an approximately $6,967,000 prepayment penalty on the loan, and closings costs of approximately $1,715,000. Approximately $50,000 was withheld by the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary for any property-level expenses invoiced after closing. Pursuant to the agreements governing the RSE Jacksonville Investment (the “RSE Jacksonville Operative Agreements”), we received a corresponding cash flow distribution of approximately $9,492,000 from the RSE Jacksonville Controlled Subsidiary, yielding an internal rate of return of approximately 21.4%.
