Bell Partners Completes Sale of Metro Dallas Property
GREENSBORO, N.C. — Bell Partners Inc., one of the nation’s leading apartment investment and management companies, announced today that it has sold its Bell Valley Ranch community in Irving, Texas to Cortland Partners. Bell Partners will not manage the property going forward. The transaction was concluded on behalf of the Company’s investors, including Bell Fund II.
Nickolay Bochilo, Senior Vice President, Investments at Bell Partners, said: “The sale resulted in an attractive return on investment for our clients, particularly when considering the timing of purchase in 2007. We were pleased with the cash flow the property generated during our hold period and the value appreciation monetized upon sale. “
Bell Fund II, along with other Bell-related entities, purchased Bell Valley Ranch (formerly Villa Miranda) in December 2007.
The sale of Bell Valley Ranch is the first disposition for Bell in 2016. In 2015, Bell sold 24 properties for $800 million and acquired nine apartment communities comprised of 3,218 units for $670 million, totaling $1.47 billion in total transactions. In 2014, a year in which it was also a net seller, Bell completed more than $2.6 billion in total apartment transactions.
