RMR Residential Announces Sale of Leading Houston Apartment Community

RMR Residential announced today the sale of ARIUM Park West – a suburban property in West Houston.

The 342-unit garden community, located within 5 miles of Houston’s main employment bases, including the Energy Corridor, Westchase business district, and Texas Medical Center, provides residents with access to an abundance of retail and excellent accessibility to Texas State Highway 6 and Westpark Tollway.

Part of Carroll Multifamily Real Estate Fund III, RMR Residential purchased the property six and a half years ago. The firm repositioned the apartment community implementing a value-add strategy, enhancing select interior units, and updating amenities, while also utilizing its world-class, in-house property management team to create efficiencies and cost savings through its ARIUM standard of service.

“When we purchased ARIUM Park West in 2014, the property presented great bones in a solid location for us to use our proven value-add strategy to improve resident life and create returns for our investors,” said M. Patrick Carroll, Founder and CEO of RMR Residential. “Being at the end of our underwritten strategy and hold period, we felt it was time to sell and realize our returns.”

Back in 2014, RMR Residential was bullish on the ARIUM Park West property due to its close location to the Energy Corridor, which has been experiencing tremendous growth and renter demand. The firm also cited favorable trends on oil prices – above $94 – and a low unemployment rate – 5% compared to the national average of 6.2% – as an indicator in 2014 for a strong, growing employment base in Houston, which drives population growth and renter demand.

This disposition is the latest transaction fueling RMR Residential’s momentum, after the successful sale of two Atlanta properties last month, and precedes what should be an active Q3 for the Atlanta-based firm.
