ARC Multifamily is excited to offer the exclusive opportunity to acquire Gates at South Bend, a 147-unit property situated in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which has experienced significant growth over the last decade supported by two key economic drivers, the University of Alabama with a $2.8 billion impact, and the Mercedes-Benz plant with a $5.8 billion investment. Gates at South Bend boasts a strategic location in Tuscaloosa with easy access to I-20, making it just a 20-minute drive to the Mercedes Benz manufacturing plant and a 10-minute drive to UA's main campus. Originally built in 1980 and recently renovated between 2017-2021, this asset is well-maintained and priced below replacement cost, offering investors a performing and well-capitalized property.

$825,000
$19,367,500
Gates at South Bend has undergone extensive renovations, with over $9.3M+ spent on restoring the interior/exterior, adding modern features, and landscaping the grounds, making it a desirable investment opportunity. The property also boasts a state-of-the-art remote surveillance system, making it a high-performing asset.
Gates at South Bend has experienced 16%+ organic rent growth trend over the past 18 months, with a 97%+ occupancy rate and 10% collection growth over the T12.

Gates at South Bend, with its top-of-market physical plant, is being offered below current replacement costs and similar conventional product types across the Sunbelt, making it an attractive investment opportunity. The property's excellent location in Tuscaloosa offers substantial ROI potential through strategic capital improvements, and with construction costs soaring, the demand for in-place multifamily assets is increasing, as the cost estimates for new garden-style product surpass $200k/unit.
Tuscaloosa County has heavy multifamily restrictions, resulting in almost all new supply over the past 10 years being designated for purpose-built student living, hindering competitive conventional supply and leading to 10%+ YoY market rent growth and market vacancy remaining above 95%.
Tuscaloosa is experiencing exceptional investment and job creation, driven by the University of Alabama ($2.8B impact) and the auto industry, particularly the Mercedes-Benz plant with its $5.8B+ investment into the state, making it one of Alabama's high-growth locales.
The University of Alabama, the top economic engine in the Tuscaloosa metro area, continues to show unprecedented growth with record enrollment in Fall 2021, outpacing apartment supply by 20% over the last 10 years, and providing 14,000 jobs.
Mercedes-Benz is investing $1 billion in the expansion of its Tuscaloosa manufacturing plant, creating an additional 600 direct jobs and producing its first allelectric SUV there as part of the company's investment of over $6 billion in Alabama.
