Matthews Completes Sale of Governor’s Parc Apartments in Alabama

BIRMINGHAM, AL— Matthews™, a commercial real estate investment services and technology firm, facilitated the sale of Governor’s Parc Apartments located at 3800 Governors Dr in Montgomery, Alabama. Matthews™ Senior Vice President Caleb Frizzell represented the seller in the transaction, which marked the highest sale price for a multifamily property in the Outer South/Airport submarket within the last two years.

 

Situated north of Highway 80, the 228-unit property consists of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments across 219,496 square feet. Originally built in 1971, the community underwent an extensive $6.5 million value-add renovation in 2022, including new roofs, windows, mechanical systems, parking lot improvements, and exterior and interior upgrades. Average in-place rents are approximately $810 per unit, providing additional runway for continued income growth as the renovated units season and renew at higher rates.

 

The seller engaged Matthews™ to bring the asset to market to capitalize on strong investor demand for renovated multifamily product and reposition capital for future acquisitions. Through targeted marketing outreach, Matthews™ sourced a Washington-based buyer looking to expand their existing Alabama multifamily portfolio. The property went under contract during the final phase of its post-renovation lease-up, and the Matthews™ agent worked closely with ownership and onsite management to align leasing progress with underwriting and financing milestones through closing.

 

“It was a pleasure working with all parties involved to bring this transaction to a successful close. Both the seller and purchaser demonstrated patience and persistence, overcoming several hurdles along the way,” Frizzell said. “The sellers completed a high-quality and thorough rehabilitation project across Governor’s Parc, and it should serve as an example for other operators in the market. I look forward to facilitating further investment in the Montgomery market, from new and existing owners alike.”

 

The buyer was motivated by the opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, stabilized asset at a compelling cost basis and plans to hold the community long term.
