SEATTLE, WA - Fourth Avenue Capital and Range Equity Management, in a joint venture with PCCP, have acquired 2121 Belmont, a stabilized Class-A multifamily property located in the Buckman neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. With this acquisition, Fourth Avenue Capital now owns 25 assets across its portfolio, including six other properties in the Portland MSA.
Originally built in 2008 as condominium units, 2121 Belmont is comprised of 123 oversized apartment units averaging approximately 981 square feet. The property offers high-end interior finishes including real hardwood floors, gas ranges, stainless steel appliances, and central heating and air conditioning. Despite its boutique scale, the property features concrete and steel Type I construction, delivering a distinct resident experience highlighted by a 1:1 parking ratio. Amenities include a fitness center, onsite leasing office, dog wash station, and bike storage.
"We targeted this asset because of its differentiated product type — Type I construction, large unit sizes, and dedicated parking for every residence," said Davis Vaughn, Managing Partner at Fourth Avenue Capital. "We believe the opportunity to acquire this level of quality at approximately half of replacement cost, combined with its unique features, will yield a durable competitive advantage and create outsized value for our investors."
Strategically located in Portland's Buckman neighborhood, 2121 Belmont sits at the heart of the city's rapidly developing Central Eastside. Its position on Belmont Street provides residents with excellent access to downtown and walkability to urban amenities including dining, nightlife, and public parks.
"We are excited about this acquisition given the unique attributes of the asset and cyclical recovery of the market. We look forward to executing our value-add business plan in conjunction with our partners at FAC and PCCP," said Andrew Gindy, Managing Partner at Range Equity Management.
