$45 Million Savannah Acquisition

New York — Wharton Equity, through its Wharton Residential Platform, has acquired a brand new, 326-unit Class A property located in Pooler, Georgia, a highly-desirable sub-market of Savannah, which was in the final stages of lease-up. When the company went into contract, the asset was under 60% occupied and was 80% leased upon closing, evidencing Two Addison Place’s strong demand. “Continuing our strategy of purchasing great multifamily properties in growing markets, Two Addison Place is a prized acquisition that we will be proud of owning for years to come,” states Peter C. Lewis, President of Wharton Equity.

Inspired by the architecture of Addison Mizner, architect of The Cloister Hotel in Sea Island, GA and many of Florida’s most luxurious landmarks, the property has red tile barrel roofs, wrought iron balcony railings and stucco siding. Although in first-class condition, Wharton Equity will be enhancing the asset from adding a fire pit and a second gracious fountain, to supplementing landscaping, signage and lighting.
