Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. Completes Disposition of Brookwood Center Office Building for $55.0 Million
The purchase price was $55.0 million, including assumption of debt, which will result in net proceeds at closing of approximately $25.1 million after closing adjustments and costs.
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE: APTS) (“PAC” or the “Company”) today announced its disposition, on November 12th, of Brookwood Center, an office property located in Birmingham, Alabama, to Pope & Land, a highly regarded Atlanta-based real estate firm, along with Fairway Investments, a respected local Birmingham real estate firm. The purchase price was $55.0 million, including assumption of debt, which will result in net proceeds at closing of approximately $25.1 million after closing adjustments and costs. This sale generated a GAAP gain on sale of approximately $12.4 million. With this sale, the Company now owns only two remaining office buildings, one in Atlanta and one in San Antonio.
Joel Murphy, PAC’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said: “With the sale of Brookwood Center, we have now sold eight office assets for total gross proceeds of approximately $780 million and we have further demonstrated our continued intent and ability to effectively wind down our office business and prudently monetize our few remaining office assets strategically and thoughtfully over time.”
