FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
INVESTING IN ALLENTOWN
All six properties are within 1 mile of each other in center
city Allentown surrounding the designated Neighborhood
Improvement Zone’s (NIZ) more than $1 billion of
commercial investments.
Allentown’s urban renaissance is well documented in the
national press — New York Times article March 2014,
Fortune Magazine’s Top 5 list of Up and Coming
Downtowns July 2014, The Atlantic’s series of articles Sept
2014 and an April 2016 report by the Urban Land Institute
recognizing Allentown as one of six transforming
communities across the nation. All of this culminated in
2017 when Allentown was named 1 of 13 winners
worldwide of the prestigious Urban Land Institute Global
Award for Excellence.
MULTI-UNIT TRENDS
The 2019 report on Emerging
Trends in Real Estate by the Urban
Land Institute survey results state
that next to Senior housing, both
Moderate-income and Affordable
apartments are the most
attractive investments and are still
available at a fair price (see
charts). The report also states that
“...demand for rental homes and
communities still flow at every
age and economic level, but what
has changed—in a very big way—
is that the expense of developing
properties and improving existing
stock has gone up fast, to a level
that now exceeds income gains
among would-be renters”1
Footnote: 1 Urban Land Institute, pwc; Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2019
This portfolio consists of a combination of Moderate-income and
Affordable units being sold at market price with rents slightly below
market allowing for immediate investor upside.
