IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 2, 2015 – Steadfast Apartment REIT announced that it has acquired Meadows at River Run, a 374-unit apartment community located in Bolingbrook, Ill.—just 25 miles outside of the Chicago Central Business District—for a purchase price of $58.5 million. With the acquisition of Meadows at River Run, Steadfast Apartment REIT has acquired over $1 billion in properties.
“Over the past 18 months, we believe that Steadfast Apartment REIT has amassed a portfolio of quality apartment communities in prolific markets that embody the live-work-play environment that residents seek,” said Ella Shaw Neyland, president of Steadfast Apartment REIT. “We are exceedingly pleased with how our portfolio looks today and offer our continued thanks to our shareholders who have shown their commitment to the Steadfast business plan.”
Meadows at River Run offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes ranging between 670 and 1,262 square feet. Built in 2001, community amenities include full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets, wood-burning fireplaces, garages, a resort-style swimming pool, 24-hour fitness center, business center and pet park. Average in-place rents at the 93.6% occupied property are $1,271.
Steadfast Apartment REIT will initiate a moderate value enhancement plan at the property. Improvements to interiors will be completed when turning the apartment homes between residents and will include new lighting, plumbing, stainless steel appliances, faux wood blinds and upgraded countertops.
The suburb of Bolingbrook has an average household income in excess of $91,000 and offers residents a choice of retail and entertainment centers as well as convenient access to downtown Chicago.
This is the second Chicago-area property for Steadfast Apartment REIT. Earlier this year it acquired Randall Highlands in North Aurora. With these latest acquisitions, the REIT has acquired over 8,500 units in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
