DSF Group expands multifamily portfolio with 678-unit acquisition in VA
ALEXANDRIA, VA – IPA Capital Markets, a division of Marcus & Millichap has successfully arranged $165.9 million in financing on behalf of the DSF Group for the acquisition of the Town Square at Mark Center in Alexandria.
IPA Capital Markets in Los Angeles represented the borrower, the DSF Group. The Town Square at Mark Center is a 678-unit apartment and townhome community situated in one of Northern Virginia’s most dynamic submarkets. “The 98% occupied property represents an outstanding investment opportunity with substantial value-add potential,” said Cameron Chalfant, senior managing director, IPA Capital Markets. “Planned renovations will improve the living experience, aligning the property with the demands of a high-quality tenant base.”
“Representing the DSF Group on this landmark transaction demonstrates IPA’s strength in handling complicated and high-profile deals that require nuanced market and finance expertise along with a customized approach,” said Brian Eisendrath, executive managing director, IPA Capital Markets. “Town Square at Mark Center’s prime location, coupled with the DSF Group’s forward-thinking vision and exceptional operational execution, ensures its potential for remarkable long-term success. The transaction also represented a strong finish to 2024 for our team as we begin another active stretch in the market.”
Eisendrath added: “Despite a rising treasury environment, achieving 70% LTV along with a 35-year amortization helped the DSF Group achieve its targeted return metrics. The client effectively mitigated interest rate risk by executing an early rate lock with a treasury yield approximately 15 basis points below its peak.”
Located at 1459 N. Beauregard St., Town Square at Mark Center offers spacious apartments and townhomes with amenities that cater to modern lifestyles. Its proximity to major transportation routes, employment hubs, and retail centers solidify its position as a premier residential community in the region.
