Q4 2017 | Multifamily Market Indicators RVA RVA Pressures on Replacement Relative to prior period Q4 2017 Q1 2018* Costs Drive the Values of VACANCY RENTS Existing Communities CONCESSIONS TRANSACTIONS There was a marked rise in the perceived value of Richmond multifamily real PRICE PER UNIT estate in 2017 from a year ago, especially for Class B value-add properties. In 2016, the big story locally was the sale of the CORE portfolio of three CAP RATES communities for roughly $81 Million. The highest value was that of the 210 *Projected unit Champions Club at $110,000. The sale set a new bar for 1980’s vintage garden communities in the region but that record was shattered in 2017 by the sale of the 340-unit Wellesley Terrace at $151,000 per door. In less than one year, the perceived values for a Class B value add 1980’s vintage community near Short Pump in Henrico County escalated nearly 50%. Those sales were not anomalies in the market place. Copper Springs in Henrico County closed out the year at $148,000 per door, and Hunter’s Chase, a property in dire need of upgrades, in Chesterfield County, closed out at $131,000 per door. Millspring Commons, a rental townhouse community near Hermitage HS in the northern part of Henrico County closed at $130,000 per door. Huguenot Village, a townhouse rental community near the Chesterfield Town Center, sold for $135,000 per door. All of these properties ranged from 210 to 300 units, so the total dollar volume of each sale was phenomenal for this market.

    REPORT > FULTON GAS WORKS SITE CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND CURRENT CONDITIONS REPORT DATE > JANUARY 2017 LOCATION > Richmond, Virginia PREPARED FOR > Timmons Group PREPARED BY > Dutton + Associates, LLC Dutton + Associates CULTURAL RESOURCE SURVEY, PLANNING, AND MANAGEMENT FULTON GAS WORKS SITE CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT AND CURRENT CONDITIONS REPORT RICHMOND, VIRGINIA PREPARED FOR: TIMMONS GROUP PREPARED BY: DUTTON + ASSOCIATES, LLC 1115 CROWDER DRIVE MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA 23113 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: DAVID H. DUTTON, M.A. DARA A. FRIEDBERG, M.S. JANUARY 2017 ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The results of the study revealed that the project area was in the vicinity of the earliest settled area of Rocketts Landing. Historic maps and documents indicate that early development would have been consigned primarily to the western portion of the project area. Gillies Creek flowsd south and east of the project area, and at times possibly within it. The tributary Bloody Run, now filled, bisected the project area. Development had occurred in the western portion of the land by the early nineteenth century in form of dwellings and a tobacco factory. Following the incredible success of the City Gas Works on Cary Street between 15th and 16th streets, the City purchased land in Rocketts Landing for the construction of a new plant. The plant began operations in 1856. The Civil War, multiple floods, and changes in manufactured gas technology necessitated multiple repairs and rebuildings of the Gas Works. Changes between the 1920s and 1950s created the more modern layout of the site. What had become known as Fulton Gas Works continued operations until 1972 from which time it has remained vacant.
