The Praedium Group completes transactions totaling $2.5 billion in first eight months of 2015

New York, NY With $2.5 billion in new acquisitions, dispositions, and several residential developments, 2015 has been an active year for The Praedium Group, a New York City-based national real estate investment firm. On the acquisition front, Praedium, on behalf of affiliates and separate accounts, purchased over $300 million in assets including several apartment projects located in high-growth submarkets of Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oregon and California. The firm also completed two joint-venture condominium developments in New York City and a joint-venture apartment development in suburban Minneapolis.
In addition to identifying and selectively acquiring strong assets in solid markets across the country and completing a number of new residential developments, Praedium also liquidated nearly $2 billion of assets to date in 2015. These transactions included 40 apartment properties, or approximately 12,000 units, as well as over 600,000 s/f of office and retail space. "On the disposition side, we took advantage of highly liquid capital markets, while at the same time, we were able to selectively acquire high-quality assets in markets that continue to experience substantial growth," said Russ Appel, president of The Praedium Group. "As a result, we have strategically repositioned our portfolio towards first-class assets in desirable, high-growth submarkets across the country. Our extensive relationships in the industry have brought us many of these deals, and our ability to move quickly gave us a competitive advantage with sellers."

The death of the generic offering memorandum: What buyers expect in 2025 - by Kimberly Zar Bloorian

There was a time when an offering memorandum (OM) was pretty bare bones, some photos, a few bullet points on income, and a rent roll thrown in at the back. That used to get the job done. Not anymore. In 2025, buyers are sharper, faster, and more selective. They’re looking
