Luxury urban midrise multifamily property added to Kislak Organization portfolio
June 28, 2016
Miami Lakes, Florida, and Dallas, Texas – The Kislak Organization, a national real estate investment firm headquartered in Miami Lakes, Florida, has acquired McKinney Uptown in Dallas, Texas. The 144-unit midrise apartment complex is located at 3324 McKinney Avenue in the premier West Village neighborhood of Uptown.
“With luxury multifamily product in demand in urban Dallas, this upscale property in an exciting neighborhood has enormous potential,” said Tom Bartelmo, president and CEO of the Kislak Organization. “There are opportunities for distinctive upgrades that will enhance McKinney Uptown’s appeal and make it a great place to live, while retaining affordability for renters.”
Moran and Company Southwest represented the seller, a global financial institution. Team Mozer with George Smith Partners arranged the acquisition financing provided by Los Angeles-based Mesa West Capital. A portion of the loan proceeds will be used to finance significant interior and exterior upgrades. Kislak’s plans include enhancing the unit interiors, including installing washers and dryers, along with upgrading the lobby and common elements, property amenities and exterior. Cottonwood Residential, Kislak’s property management partner, will be responsible for day-to-day operations.
Constructed in 2003, the nine-story residential podium-style building over a three-level parking garage features a full-service salon, third-floor pool and sundeck, and a 10th floor fitness center with panoramic city views. A wide variety of employment centers, retail, restaurant and leisure activities are within walking distance, or can be reached via the M-Line Trolley at the doorstep and the nearby DART CityPlace Light Rail.
With this acquisition, the Kislak portfolio includes three multifamily communities in Dallas, and more than 2,000 units in properties nationwide. Backed by more than a century of real estate experience, the Kislak Organization has established an impressive track record of successfully acquiring and asset managing multifamily properties. Kislak is seeking additional acquisitions throughout the Sun Belt.
