BARRINGTON, IL – December 21, 2012 – Stoneleigh Companies, LLC announces the acquisition of two existing apartment properties in Midland, Texas: the 278 unit apartment project called Waterford Lakes Apartments; and the 200 unit apartment project called Waterford at North Park. The properties are the 11th and 12th multi-family projects acquired/developed by Stoneleigh in the past three years and follows the Waterford Ranch acquisition in 2011 in Midland.
Rick Cavenaugh, President of Stoneleigh, stated “Waterford Lakes and Waterford at North Park Apartments (formerly The Lakes and Windscape) affirm our commitment to Midland, Texas. The properties were rebranded at closing and will be managed by Waterford Residential, our affiliated property management division. Acquisition financing was provided by Key Bank National Association thru two bridge loans. We intend to close on a Key Bank – Freddie Mac CME loan in January 2013 and will bring our FMAC financed portfolio to nine projects.”
James O’Kane, Chief Investment Officer, said “We acquired the Waterford Ranch property last November and have seen excellent growth in the multi-family market in Midland over the past twelve months. There is a tremendous need for upgraded rental units and quality management there as the job growth has exceeded our expectations. These two great locations will benefit from our long term approach to maintaining our assets and improving the quality of the product that we offer our residents. We are very excited about the market and the opportunity to upgrade the housing stock.”
