FCP℠ and High Real Estate Group (HREG) announce the sale of Plantation Oaks, a 264-unit apartment community in Charleston, SC, to New York-based White Eagle Property Group for $36.1 million. FCP recapitalized Plantation Oaks in July 2015, becoming partners with High Real Estate Group in Plantation Oaks and a Charlotte, NC property, York Ridge, which was sold in May 2019, also to White Eagle Property Group.
“FCP and HREG performed extensive renovations to the asset, greatly enhancing the curb appeal and resident experience for this well-located property in the growing West Ashley market,” said FCP Vice President, Alex Cathcart. “We were very pleased with our partnership with High in both this and the York Ridge deals.”
“In the 20 years that High has owned and managed Plantation Oaks, the dedication of the team and its focus on outstanding customer service is what has set this property apart from its competition,” said Senior Vice President & Managing Director for High Associates, Brad Mowbray. “FCP is a great partner, and we’ve been delighted to work with them on another successful deal.”
“White Eagle is excited to enter the Charleston market with the acquisition of Plantation Oaks,” said White Eagle Property Group Chairman and CEO, Jeff Weiskopf.
“Charleston has been experiencing phenomenal population growth, with a steady unemployment rate at 2.5%, while the job market continues to expand,” added White Eagle Property Group Chief Operating Officer, Abe Spitz. “We plan on implementing a strategic capital plan with a focus on creating additional amenities and upgrading apartment interiors that will provide an amazing living experience for our residents.”
FCP and High extend their appreciation to Alex Okulski and Anthony Rotunda of Newmark Knight Frank for their representation of the sellers in the sale.
