JLL Income Property Trust Acquires New Apartments in Philadelphia

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Sep 1, 2015) - JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally-managed, non-listed, daily valued perpetual life REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX) (NASDAQ: ZIPTMX) (NASDAQ: ZIPIAX) (NASDAQ: ZIPIMX), today announced it acquired AQ Rittenhouse, a newly constructed Class A apartment property located near Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia, PA. The 110 unit, 12 story apartment building, complemented by 13,000 square feet of fully leased ground floor commercial space, is located in the gentrifying Center City neighborhood of downtown Philadelphia. The purchase price was approximately $51 million with an estimated stabilized cap rate of 5.2%. The acquisition was financed at approximately 50% loan to value with an interest rate of 3.65% for 10 years.

Only a two block walk from Rittenhouse Square, the property is an urban boutique apartment building, located in a historic neighborhood that offers residents easy access to downtown Philadelphia's premier shopping, dining, and nightlife locales. Boasting a 100, or perfect Walk Score -- walkscore.com's proprietary ranking of desirability of an apartment's proximate location to retail, restaurant, and employment amenities -- the area is home to over 400 restaurants and 1,000 retailers, making this location at 2021 Chestnut Street one of the most attractive the city has to offer. In addition to the proximity of Philadelphia's bustling city center, AQ Rittenhouse is located four blocks from the Comcast Innovation & Technology Center, currently under construction, that will add approximately 1,500 new jobs. Being in the Center City neighborhood and providing unparalleled access to both work and play, Philadelphia has now developed into a "Millennial magnet" with a concentration of Millennials in the top 2% nationally, according to census data.

"The purchase of AQ Rittenhouse marks our fifth property investment this year and brings our aggregate new acquisition volume to over $200 million for 2015. It is our second apartment acquisition in the last ninety days, as we continue to expand our portfolio's exposure to a diverse range of geographic markets and property sectors," commented Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. "This purchase further builds our portfolio's presence on the East Coast, and bolsters our apartment allocation in an in-fill location in a very strong urban market."

AQ Rittenhouse opened in April with a mix of studio, one bedroom plus den, and two bedroom units. Units feature high-end finishes including stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, and energy efficient in-unit washer/dryers. The property capitalizes on its location, offering units with Juliet balconies overlooking downtown Philadelphia as well as a rooftop deck with dramatic views of the Philadelphia skyline. Other benefits include access to a car share program with a dedicated vehicle for the property. With outstanding amenities and its prime location, this investment is designed to provide Philadelphia residents with access to the perfect combination of live, work, and play.
