A sports and entertainment operator has acquired two facilities in southern New Jersey, under a newly completed transaction by Wolf Commercial Real Estate.
What drives the strong demand from multifamily investors?
At first glance, one might assume that new, luxury apartments are receiving the most interest from investors. While a steady pace of construction can be seen in Northern New Jersey with an average of 5,900 apartments delivered annually, this product is trading infrequently. The majority of investors focused on new construction are institutions that prefer a “build-to-core” strategy over asset acquisition and non-institutional players are unwilling to pay the premium for new development. Thus, the majority of new luxury construction is being held long term.
