Bell Partners Investment Activity Surpasses $1 Billion
Bell Partners is focused on acquiring well-located, quality multifamily assets in supply-constrained submarkets across the East Coast and Southwest United States to generate attractive current income and provide strong total returns to its investors. Reflecting this approach, the properties acquired in the last 12 months were located in Raleigh, Dallas, Austin, Ft. Lauderdale, Washington/Baltimore, Atlanta and Boston. During that same period, the Company sold approximately $700 million of assets, continuing its track record of generating strong returns, as evidenced by the 2014 Preqin Global Real Estate Report which ranked Bell Partners as one of the top-rated, consistently performing real estate fund managers.
Jon Bell, President of Bell Partners said, “We are pleased to have completed over $1 billion in transactions during the last year. This performance reflects the Company’s disciplined approach to acquiring high-quality assets with compelling underlying fundamentals whose value can be enhanced by leveraging the Company’s operating and repositioning capabilities. Our seasoned management team, robust investment platform and proven financial performance continue to enable the Company to attract investors and deliver superior returns.”
