America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. Announces the Sale of Residences of DeCordova MF Property

0
0
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ:ATAX) (the “Partnership”) announced today that on November 28, 2017, it sold the Residences of DeCordova (“DeCordova”), a 110-unit property, held in its MF Property portfolio, located in Granbury, Texas for $12.1 million.  ATAX will realize a gross gain of approximately $5.2 million, before income tax expense, direct and indirect expenses to be recognized, in the fourth quarter of 2017. Construction of DeCordova was completed in November 2008, with ATAX originally investing in its Mortgage Revenue Bond (“MRB”) in May 2007.  On December 31, 2009, only 41% of the initial 76 units available had been leased, at which point, ATAX became actively involved in the property management and analysis of the inherent credit risk of DeCordova.  In July 2012, ATAX completed Phase II, which added an additional 34 units, increasing the total units at DeCordova to 110.

ATAX actively utilized and managed the resources of Burlington Capital’s full service Real Estate Platform (the “Platform”) to transform the demographics and economics of DeCordova.  The Platform consists of property management, construction management and monitoring and marketing.  In February 2011, the General Partner and Limited Partner of DeCordova were removed through foreclosure and the property then became owned by ATAX as a part of its MF Property portfolio.   Prior to the sale of DeCordova, ATAX had increased the physical occupancy to approximately 100% and had transformed its economic performance.

“In 2009, ATAX became concerned about the performance of DeCordova and became actively involved in the property management and other aspects of its operations,” said Chad Daffer, Chief Executive Officer of ATAX.  “The DeCordova transaction represents the third successful sale of three former MRB investments owned by ATAX that were negatively impacted by the credit crisis and ultimately owned by the Partnership as a part of its MF Property portfolio.  Once again, the Unitholders of ATAX benefit from this transaction.”
