“Belay is pleased with our favorable exit at Captiva Club and grateful for having a strong partner in EPC, who displayed adeptness as asset managers while working with the Belay team to see our business plan through to execution” said Eliza Bailey, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Chief Investment Officer at Belay. “Captiva Club marks our sixth successful disposition with EPC and serves as another example of an investment where positive market dynamics and solid real estate fundamentals underscore ownership’s commitment to providing quality cost-effective housing to local residents” said Cameron Chase, Vice President at Belay Investment Group.

EPC acquired the property in October of 2016 and worked with Belay to implement a thorough repositioning strategy that substantially improved the profitability of the property. During the approximately six-year hold period, EPC and Belay invested approximately $4.3 million in capital expenditures, completed substantial exterior and interior unit renovations, decreased unit vacancies, and increased average monthly rents on occupied units. In the same period, the average leased rent per unit increased by 59.8% and revenue increased by 47.3%. The value creation driven by EPC and Belay also included upgrading the existing common areas and amenities, adding new amenities and services as well as implementing water and energy conservation programs. In addition, 17 new units were added to the property.
