Summary

Cadre is partnering with Jefferson Apartment Group (“Sponsor”) to develop Optimist Park Multifamily Development, a Class A multifamily asset located in NoDa (short for North Davidson) - Charlotte’s arts and entertainment district. We were attracted by the potential to execute on a shovel-ready development alongside a best-in-class sponsor in a burgeoning location within one of the fastest growing markets in the country.

As a principal transaction, Cadre has completed full underwriting and diligence, including approval from Cadre's experienced Investment Committee, and will be placing the Project into the Cadre Direct Access Fund. Cadre is investing alongside Cadre investors and participating in deal promote to align interests, and has structured a majority, controlling interest in the Project, which allows Cadre to actively asset manage the Project and control major decisions in conjunction with other structural protections to protect Cadre’s investor capital.

Key Investment Highlights

Dynamic Market with Strong Growth Drivers

Driven by its business-friendly environment, relative affordability, and strong growth engines in financial services, energy and power, and information technology, Charlotte’s job and population growth has been ~3x the national average over the past five years. Cadre’s own data science team identifies Charlotte within the “Cadre 15”, one of the 15 top markets with strong potential for risk adjusted returns.

Continued Urban Densification

Numerous recent job announcements and relocations have prioritized the urban core, tens of thousands of new jobs from companies like Truist Bank, Lowe’s, USAA, Honeywell, LendingTree, and Robinhood. Atrium Health, Wake Forest Baptist Health and Wake Forest School of Medicine have selected Midtown to build Charlotte's first four-year medical school, which will support ~3.5k students each year.

This has led to 7.4mm sf of office construction, 10k new multifamily units, and 1,750 hotel keys. This rapid densification has brought a dynamism to the urban core that is now emanating outward to other submarkets like NoDa.

Compelling Transaction Dynamics

An attractive land basis and lower density construction type allows the Project to offer a 30%+ rent discount to high-rise construction that is increasingly being built in the nearby urban core, less than one mile away. Cadre has already closed the land at a contract price from 2018, and has executed a construction contract with the general contractor. Investors will be investing in a shovel-ready project.
