Newmark announces the sale of 2818 Place and Parkway Place, two premier, garden-style student housing communities with a total of 350 units and 1,128 beds serving the prestigious Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
Newmark Vice Chairman and head of the Student Housing Group Ryan Lang and Associate Director Jack Brett represented the seller, Blue Vista, an investment management firm based out of Chicago. 2818 Place and Parkway Place traded to Mountain Capital Partners, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment and development firm and Homestead Companies, a full-service development company located in Columbus. Newmark Transaction Manager Ben Harkrider provided crucial support to assist on the transaction.
“Major capital groups continue to focus on quality student assets given the sector has outperformed market expectations throughout the pandemic,” said Ryan. “2818 Place and Parkway Place are uniquely positioned within one of the largest college towns in the country. Both assets offer upside potential with meaningful growth tailwinds.”
Developed in 2008 and 2009, respectively, 2818 Place and Parkway Place offer strong amenity packages, highlighted by two large, resort-style pools with hot tubs and cabanas, a sand volleyball court and the only covered outdoor basketball area in College Station. Moreover, the expansive clubhouses contain two 24-hour, state-of-the-art fitness centers, game rooms, a 24-hour computer lab featuring both Mac and PC computers and numerous study rooms, allowing tenants to accomplish all of their academic needs from home. Texas A&M is the largest university in the country with over 71,109 students enrolled as of Fall 2020 and is projected to grow by two percent over the course the next four years.
