BAM Capital Acquires Altitude 970, Enhancing Investment Portfolio
BAM Capital has significantly bolstered its investment portfolio with the acquisition of Altitude 970, a premier institutional-quality apartment community, through its BAM Multifamily Growth & Income Fund IV. This strategic move underscores BAM Capital’s commitment to securing high-value assets in thriving markets.
Completed in 2018, Altitude 970 is situated in the vibrant Kansas City, Missouri area. This luxury apartment community features 291 units that are distinguished as superior within the competitive landscape. Its location in a region characterized by robust economic growth, increasing population, and a thriving job market positions the property for continued success and strong rental performance.
The strategic positioning of Altitude 970 near Kansas City International Airport and the KCI 29 Logistics Park is a key advantage. Residents benefit from exceptional access to a range of current and forthcoming employment opportunities, further enhancing the property’s appeal. This favorable economic profile supports the property’s impressive 98 percent occupancy rate, reflecting high demand and rental potential.
Altitude 970 represents a significant investment opportunity within BAM Multifamily Growth & Income Fund IV, according to BAM Capital. The property’s potential for rent increases in line with market comparables, coupled with opportunities for enhanced ancillary income and reduced operational expenses, aligns perfectly with the fund’s strategic objectives.
Tony Landa, Chief Investment Officer at BAM Companies, highlighted the integral role of property management in the firm’s operations. “Our company’s foundation is property management and operations,” Landa stated. “The firm is only as good as its people on the ground and on-site. The operations team is paramount to our success.” This emphasis on operational excellence is central to BAM Capital’s approach, ensuring that Altitude 970 maintains high occupancy levels and maximizes rental income through proven management strategies.
Altitude 970’s acquisition aligns with BAM Capital’s broader strategic vision and investment criteria. The property is situated in the economically dynamic Northland submarket, which has experienced substantial rent growth and is expected to continue this upward trend. As of Q2 2024, year-over-year rent growth in the area stands at 3.7 percent, ranking third nationally according to Yardi. This rate of growth, coupled with delivery rates well below the national average, enhances the property’s potential for sustained rental performance.
The property itself offers a range of unique amenities designed to enhance the living experience for its residents. Features such as a pedestrian-friendly trail to upscale retail, a resort-style pool, a fitness center, a movie theater, recreation areas, and a rooftop lounge contribute to the property’s high occupancy rate and overall attractiveness.
Landa emphasized BAM Capital’s approach to property acquisition, noting, “BAM Capital isn’t a commodity buyer. Evaluating key differentiators that separate the asset you seek to acquire from the competitive set is critical when acquiring property. It strengthens the underlying rent assumptions to your acquisition proforma.” This approach highlights BAM Capital’s commitment to identifying and securing premium assets that offer substantial income potential and align with its strategic investment goals.
The acquisition of Altitude 970 is part of BAM Capital’s ongoing strategy to enhance its investment portfolio with high-quality assets. By focusing on properties with strong economic fundamentals and strategic market positioning, BAM Capital aims to deliver tangible returns for its partners and stakeholders.
In summary, Altitude 970’s prime location, robust economic environment, and high-quality amenities make it a valuable addition to BAM Multifamily Growth & Income Fund IV. The property’s potential for continued strong rental performance, combined with BAM Capital’s expertise in strategic management, positions it well for future success.
