CHARLESTON, SC (July 25, 2019) – Capstone Apartment Partners announces it has closed the $51.1 million sale of Paxton Point Hope, a 274-unit apartment community with full amenities in the Point Hope Commons mixed-use development in Charleston, South Carolina. Capstone sold the property on behalf of Charlotte-based The Spectrum Companies, and procured the buyer, VTT Management of Framingham, Massachusetts.
Located adjacent to the 9,000-acre planned unit development, the newly constructed Paxton Point Hope was completed this summer and was approximately 35 percent occupied at the time of closing. The property features studio, one, two, and three-bedroom units, including two-bedroom carriage homes.
“Paxton Point Hope is a great addition to VTT’s large portfolio of properties in the Charleston MSA. VTT believes in the Charleston market long-term and we love doing business here. The area is a cultural fit for VTT – and we enjoy self-managing our properties here and serving the Charleston community,” said VTT Management COO Michael Reed & CEO Vaios Theodorakos in a joint statement. “We will continue to grow in Charleston for many years to come.”
Paxton Point Hope features full amenities including a 4,100-square-foot fitness center and a 7,500-square foot-clubhouse and lounge, and residents enjoy a resort-style saltwater pool, dog park, game room, outdoor grilling area and more – all within walking distance to the new Publix-anchored shopping center off of Clements Ferry Road within Point Hope Commons Shopping Center.
Paxton Point Hope is the third luxury apartment community Spectrum has built in the market and two more are underway. “The successful transition of Paxton Point Hope represents the conclusion of several years of hard work delivering one of the highest quality suburban multi-family communities in the Charleston market,” said Spectrum COO, Steve McClure. “It’s through projects like this that Spectrum fulfills its mission of changing lives by creating special places.”
The Capstone Apartment Partners transaction team was led by Caleb Troop and Alex McDermott. “With its first Class A purchase in the Charleston market, VTT is adding to their Charleston portfolio with a quality asset in one of the fastest growing submarkets of the Lowcountry,” McDermott said.
“Paxton Point Hope is the perfect illustration of how forward-thinking developers like Spectrum are meeting the needs of the suburban rental market with luxury finishes, proximity to Class A services and ease of access to major employers in the city,” Troop said.
