“This second investment by FCP in Tidewater area real estate reflects our confidence in the underlying fundamentals for this dynamic area of Virginia,” said FCP Managing Partner, Alex Marshall. “These seven properties, purchased well below replacement cost, fit perfectly with our strategy of acquiring well built assets in high quality locations where we believe we can improve operating performance through aggressive management and targeted capital improvements.”
“FCP and Kettler are planning to invest $7.7 million to improve these properties immediately upon closing,” said Summer Kassir Haltli, an Asset Management Associate for FCP.
“Kettler is looking forward to working with FCP on the improvements to these projects and is excited to be expanding our management services to the Tidewater area,” said Cindy Clare, President of Kettler Management.
FCP and Kettler extend their appreciation to Michael Marshall and Drew White of Cushman & Wakefield for their representation of the seller.
