MLG Capital Purchases Two Memphis Area Apartment Properties

Brookfield, Wis. (August 23, 2022) – MLG Capital today announced its acquisition of two multifamily properties in the Memphis area – Preserve at Southwind (7991 Capilano Drive in Memphis) and Preserve at Bartlett (8840 Bristol Park Drive in Bartlett). The properties total 306 and 300 units respectively and both feature a range of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans with attractive amenities.

“The Preserve Portfolio is an exciting acquisition for several reasons. Both properties are well-located in desirable submarkets of Memphis with strong school districts. Memphis is an integral part of the national logistics network, and these properties offer convenient access to some of the area’s largest employers – Southwind is mere blocks from the FedEx World Headquarters. The Bartlett asset plays a key role in providing upscale living at a manageable price point, given the rental housing supply constraints in that community,” said Mike Slinde, AVP of private equity for MLG Capital. “These acquisitions reflect MLG’s goal to expand our direct acquisition platform into the Southeast, a strategy to target a variety of income-producing multifamily properties that provide diversification for our Funds.”

MLG Capital has been acquiring assets since 1987. Since 2012, the firm has operated under a fund strategy, providing investors the opportunity to participate in portfolios of assets rather than individual deals. MLG’s residential property acquisitions focus on geographic, asset class and asset type diversification. The firm opened its most recent fund – MLG Private Fund VI – in May 2022 with an equity raise goal of $400 million.

Preserve at Southwind and Preserve at Bartlett are the second and third property investments by MLG Capital in Memphis, Tennessee, bringing MLG’s historically-owned number of units in the state to more than 1,300 total units.

Key features of the Preserve at Bartlett include:

  • Gated access
  • One- and two-car attached garages
  • Car care center
  • Dog park
  • Movie theater
  • Playground
  • Outdoor swimming pool
  • Key features of the Preserve at Southwind include:

The J-curve’s name is derived from the shape of the curve, which resembles the letter “J” when plotted on a graph, with time on the horizontal axis and returns on the vertical axis. When applied to real estate funds, the typical J-curve illustrates an initial dip in performance, a gradual increase, and eventual positive returns (as demonstrated on the graph below). Understanding the J-curve is important for investors, fund managers, and related parties as it provides insights into the expected timing of returns and the associated risks of investing in private real estate. The Stages of the J-Curve Stage 1: Investment Period (Capital Deployed into Markets) Stage 2: Value Creation (Operational, Financial, and Managerial Improvements) Stage 3: Harvest Period (Exit Investments to Realize Gains) Stage 1: Investment Period This initial downturn is primarily due to the upfront costs associated with establishing the fund and acquiring real estate, such as organizational costs, administrative costs, acquisition...
