FCP℠ announces the sale of the Walker Mill Apartments, a 366-unit apartment community in Forestville, MD, to Aulder Capital.
“FCP is very pleased with the success of its business plan and the corresponding improvement in the occupancy and vitality of the Walker Mill community,” said FCP Vice President, Summer Haltli. “We continue to be an active owner and investor in the Washington, DC region and will be seeking additional opportunities to add to our portfolio here.”
“Aulder is excited to expand our presence in the Washington, D.C. metro area with our third acquisition in the last year. The investment in Walker Mill Apartments is consistent with our firm’s strategy of buying properties in well-located suburban areas and creating value from interior and exterior design upgrades. Additionally, we seek to foster a community environment through the addition of modern, well-utilized amenities and sponsored resident events,” said Aulder CEO, Michael Zito.
The Walker Mill Apartments were originally acquired by FCP as the Regency Square Apartments in 2014. The community is one mile from the Addison Road Metro station with excellent access to public transportation, neighborhood schools and shopping. Since 2014, FCP rebranded the three-story garden community and upgraded common areas, cured maintenance issues and improved building systems.
FCP extends its appreciation to Robin Williams, Dean Sigmon and Justin Shay of Transwestern for their representation and to Gates Hudson for their management of Walker Mill and collaboration on the many community programs held at the property. In addition to Transwestern and Gate Hudson, Aulder would like to thank Berkadia’s Jonathan Pratt for his continued support to finance their expansion in the Mid-Atlantic Region.
