Lexington Apartments was an opportunity to purchase an underperforming asset in a quality neighborhood of Pierce County, Washington, proximate to Tacoma. During the due diligence process, Trinity identified deficiencies in window framing and exterior siding conditions. A seller credit to the original purchase price covered the cost to re-side the property and perform repairs to damaged structural members. The result of the project was a community with a new, updated look, and positioned to effectively perform well into the future.
Through aggressive property management and the on-site leasing efforts of the Trinity Management team, in-place rents were increased over the first eighteen months of ownership, from $761 at acquisition to $881, an increase of 15.8%.
