Bell Partners Makes Charlotte Apartment Purchase

GREENSBORO, NC–Bell Partners Inc., headquartered here, has announced that company interests have purchased Morrison at South Park Apartments, a multifamily community in one of Charlotte, NC’s most attractive neighborhoods for $33,300,000. Developed by Grubb Properties in 2008, the midrise property comprises 214-Class “A” units with one, two and three-bedroom homes, along with a full amenity package. Following Bell’s company-wide branding strategy, it will be renamed Bell Morrison. Bell Partners, which is ranked as the 10th largest apartment management company in the U.S. by the National Multi-Housing Council, will provide property management at Bell Morrison through its Bell Apartment Living division. Joe Cannon, Bell’s vice president of investments, commented, “We believe Bell Morrison is positioned for future growth and is well aligned with our continuing objective of acquiring well-located, high-quality properties across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Southwest.” Bell Morrison is located in an unusually quaint mixed-use setting surrounded by 130,000 square feet of established retail space, including high-end boutiques and a 25,000 square foot specialty grocery store. The newly acquired Charlotte property is on 3.81 acres with the apartment homes arrayed in a single, seven-story building wrapped around a structured parking garage, a pool, fitness center, clubroom and courtyards. Bell plans to upgrade many amenities and renovate all of the interior units.
