JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has closed the sale of the 150-unit Residence at SouthPark multi-housing property located at 4300 Sharon Rd. in the SouthPark submarket of Charlotte.  

JLL closed the property sale from institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to a fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors. 

Built in 2007, the Residence at SouthPark offers one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that average 1,573 square feet each. The property sits on 5.56 acres and totals 236,189 square feet, holding 96% occupancy. All units include 10-22’ ceilings, built-in bookcases and workstations, gourmet kitchens, washers and dryers, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Additionally, the Residence at SouthPark offers penthouse and loft apartments. Community amenities include a rooftop deck with a saltwater pool and firepits, club level with skyline views, 24-hour fitness center, business center, game room and a coffee, tea and wine bar. 

The SouthPark submarket has been noticing a boom in interest because of the area’s recent urbanization in response to demand from young families desiring more space with suburban schooling without sacrificing city-life amenities. With walkability to local dining, retail and grocery top-of-mind, the apartments are in close proximity to Whole Foods and the premier SouthPark Mall and Sharon Square shopping destinations, among others. SouthPark is near other elite Charlotte neighborhoods such as Myers Park, which is just five minutes from the property and offers more than 675,000 square feet of office and 247,000 square feet of retail; and Dilworth, which offers over 767,000 square feet of additional retail, restaurants, galleries, pubs and more. 

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Allan Lynch, Andrea Howard, Caylor Mark, John Currin and Jeff Glenn.  

“Residence at SouthPark is an iconic Charlotte address that is primed for renovation after originally delivering in 2007,” said Lynch. “The community’s concrete construction and oversized units also make it one of the most attractive assets in the Carolinas.”

“The Residence at SouthPark is a well-maintained and well-located asset in suburban Charlotte, where we believe we will continue to see outsized demand for high-end apartments,” said Robert Perry, Executive Managing Director of CBRE Global Investors. “This particular asset performed well throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to its oversized layouts and boutique unit count. We are looking forward to the continued successful operation of the property by our team.”

ATLANTA – JLL announced today that it has closed the sale of Alpharetta City Center, a unique heritage-based, mixed-use residential and retail property in downtown Alpharetta, Georgia.

JLL marketed the asset exclusively on behalf of the sellers, South City Partners and Morris & Fellows. CBRE Global Investors purchased the property on behalf of a separate account client.

Alpharetta City Center consists of 82,700 square feet of high-end boutiques and chef-driven restaurants and 168 elite residences finished to bespoke quality within a multi-housing community called Amorance. The property is adjacent to Alpharetta City Hall, the Fulton County Library, Brook Street Park and Town Green, and is the trailhead of the new Alpha Loop trail system. Designed to blend with the historical architecture in downtown Alpharetta, the project contains three components.

Amorance, developed by a partnership of South City Partners and Morris & Fellows, is a two-building luxury community with a mix of one- and two-bedroom floor plans, averaging 1,067 square feet. Completed in 2018, the property features a penthouse-level clubroom with outdoor patio, catering kitchen and communal living room with fireplace and TV; pool courtyard with grilling area, fire pit and lounge seating areas; and expansive fitness center with yoga and spin rooms.

The District, a 41,650-square-foot collection of local boutiques and luxury service providers sits at street level below the apartments.

The Gardens, developed by Morris & Fellows, houses 41,050 square feet of chef-driven restaurants in two and a half acres of parks and green spaces spanning three city blocks of Main Street. The retail and restaurants are 100% leased.

The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors David Gutting, Margaret Caldwell (now with Arden Capital Advisors) and Derrick Bloom and Vice President Margaret Jones.

“Alpharetta City Center was a unique opportunity for an investor to own the impossible – an irreplaceable slice of Downtown Alpharetta that will continue to appreciate dramatically throughout CBRE Global Investors’ ownership,” Gutting said.

“As we anticipated, Alpharetta City Center received significant interest from institutional investors,” Caldwell added. “This is the type of trophy asset that most investors want in their portfolio due to the location, high-end residential, boutique retailers and local restaurants.”
