Investment Highlights
Junction at Vinings represents TruAmerica’s second acquisition in the Atlanta MSA. Atlanta continues to have a dynamic and growing economy, consistently ranking among the nation’s leading MSAs in job growth and market rent growth. The desirable Vinings/Cumberland submarket is home to a number of major employers, The Battery, a live-work-play destination centered around the Atlanta Braves’ SunTrust Park, and highly rated public schools. Junction at Vinings represents a true value-add opportunity with 264 apartment interiors featuring classic or near-classic finishes and the remaining units in need of selective upgrades such as vinyl flooring and washer/dryer installation. This provides an opportunity to renovate to a more modern finish level and achieve strong renovation premiums. TruAmerica also plans to enhance the community spaces by converting the unused cricket court into an amenity space and making improvements to the pool areas.
