In July 2017, we invested in the acquisition of the Wind River Place Apartments, a 120-unit apartment complex in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The business plan involved the sponsor holding the asset for several years while robust market and population growth supported the property’s value.
Recently, the sponsor paid back our investment in full. Per the terms of our preferred structure investment (which is similar to debt), we earned an annualized return of roughly 11% over the life of the investment.
Investor FAQ: How does this project impact your portfolio?
This investment was structured like debt, where the project’s sponsor must pay us a fixed rate of return before they can earn a return for themselves, and their equity provides us with a cushion against losses. Throughout the term of this investment, the regular income it generated supported quarterly dividends for the Heartland eREIT.
