Inland Residential Properties Trust acquires Alabama apartments

OAK BROOK - Inland Residential Properties Trust announced it acquired The Verandas at Mitylene, a 332-unit, gated community, apartment complex in Montgomery, Alabama.

Located at 8850 Crosswind Drive, the property is on the east side of town just north of I-85. Constructed in 2007, The Verandas at Mitylene consists of 14 three-story buildings containing a total of 24 one-bedroom, 248 two-bedroom and 60 three-bedroom units. Each unit features granite countertops, full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets, and a sunroom, patio or balcony. The complex also includes a clubhouse, 24-hour fitness center, playground, car care center, business center and pool. As of June 30, 2017, the property was approximately 91 percent leased.

Mark Cosenza, senior vice president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, facilitated the purchase of the property, with assistance from Brett Smith, assistant vice president and associate counsel of The Inland Real Estate Group Law Department, on behalf of Inland Residential Trust.

"This acquisition was an ideal opportunity to add a property with condominium quality amenities to Inland Residential Trust's growing multifamily portfolio," said Mitchell Sabshon, chief executive officer and president of Inland Real Estate Investment Corporation. "The property is well positioned off the interchange and near many large employers including The Baptist Medical Center, Auburn University at Montgomery and the Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base. The property's proximity to I-85 also provides residents with easy access to downtown Montgomery, the Eastchase office market and to a variety of local and national retailers. This acquisition aligns well with Inland Residential Trust's strategy to purchase high quality residential properties in attractive locations."
