An entity related to the Troesh family has picked up the first Planet Smart City apartment complex in the U.S. for $65.3 million.
The Nevada-based investor operating as 10018 Ingram II LLC bought The District at Little Elm from a developer partnership of Planet Smart City and Palladium USA.
The sale yielded a 30 percent internal rate of return, according to a release from Planet Smart City. Within three months of delivery, the asset was 90 percent leased, the release said.
The buyer assumed the seller’s $49.8 million mortgage from Berkadia Commercial. The mortgage is being insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, according to the loan documents.
The District at Little Elm is a 324-unit apartment complex located at 300 Lakefront Drive in the north Metroplex suburb of Little Elm, which is located about 35 north of downtown Dallas. The price was less than $202,000 per unit.
Though sales volume has slipped for multifamily trades, these transactions are still real estate investors’ first choice when it comes to asset class, according to a recent Avison Young report.
However, average price per unit slipped almost 17 percent year-over-year in the first quarter of 2024, the report said.
Planet Smart City has six projects in Brazil, three in India and one in Italy.
