UPPER MARLBORO, MD ANDWHARTON, NJ — Ava- nath Capital Management, LLC , a private real estate investment manager and reg- istered investment adviser, has acquired three multifamily properties totaling 311 units for a combined consideration of $38.08 million. The firm acquired Largo Cen- ter, a 100-unit family housing community for $14.3 million and Vistas at Lake Largo, a 110-unit senior housing com- munity for $15.03 million, both in Upper Marlboro, MD. Avanath Capital also acquired Centennial Court, a 101-unit senior living complex for $8.75 million in Wharton, NJ. This is the firm’s first acquisition in New Jersey.

The market continues to grow as multiple federal agencies and
technology companies expand in the area,” said Williams. “Largo Center offers a prime location for employees in these industries to benefit from quick work commutes.” “We plan to renovate both properties with upgraded club- houses and fitness centers, keyless entry, LED lighting, exterior paint and landscap- ing and improved common area hallways. This reflects Avanath’s mission to not only acquire affordable housing opportunities but to strategi- cally renovate them to increase property value and resident satisfaction,” says Williams.

Lake Largo is located at 500 Harry S. Truman Dr., both in Upper Marlboro, MD. Avanath Capital acquired Centennial Court, a 101-unit senior housing community in Wharton, NJ for $8.75 million. “30% of Wharton’s popula- tion is comprised of adults aged 50 and older, yet Centen- nial Court is one of only three senior housing communities in the area,” said Williams. “This is a tremendously competitive advantage, allowing us to capi- talize on strong demand, while maintaining senior housing affordability in an affluent and growing market.” The property is located at 100 N Main, in Wharton, NJ.
