Fri, June 12, 2009 NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership: NTS Realty Holdings Limited Partnership Announces the Purchase of Golf Brook and Sabal
LOUISVILLE, KY--(Marketwire - June 12, 2009) - (
On April 10, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire Golf Brook Apartments ("Golf Brook") and Sabal Park Apartments ("Sabal Park"), which are located in Longwood, Florida. On June 3, 2009, GB Central Holdings, LLC ("GB Central") and SP Central Holdings, LLC ("SP Central"), both Delaware limited liability companies and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, entered into operating agreements with Pluris Property Fund I, L.P. ("PPFI"), an affiliated Delaware limited partnership, to form GB Longwood Properties, LLC ("GB Longwood") and SP Longwood Properties, LLC ("SP Longwood"), respectively. On June 10, 2009, GB Central and SP Central entered into amended and restated operating agreements with PPFI to provide that GB Central and SP Central own 76.5% of the membership interests in GB Longwood and SP Longwood, respectively. GB Longwood and SP Longwood purchased the properties from 385 Golf Brook Circle Longwood, LLC and 302 Sabal Park Place Longwood, LLC, both Delaware limited liability companies, neither of which is affiliated with the Company. GB Central will serve as the sole manager of GB Longwood, and SP Central will serve as the sole manager of SP Longwood. GB Longwood and SP Longwood have appointed NTS Management Company, an affiliate of the Company, as the property manager for both properties.
Brian Lavin, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company's managing general partner, said, "NTS Development, an affiliate of the Company, developed both Sabal Park and Golf Brook in the late 1980s on behalf of some of the Company's predecessor owners. The Company acquired both assets as part of going public in 2004 and subsequently sold them in 2006. We are very pleased to once again have this presence in the Orlando area apartment market. The economic conditions in central Florida have allowed us to reacquire these unparalleled assets at what we believe are very attractive entry values, permitting us to leverage the expertise our management team has shown on so many previous occasions since the Company went public."
The Company and its joint venture partner paid an aggregate purchase price of $32.5 million to acquire Golf Brook and Sabal Park. A spokesperson for the Company indicated that the Company and its co-owner satisfied the purchase price for Golf Brook and Sabal Park with funds obtained from a non-recourse mortgage loan from a government-sponsored lender and from working capital.
