Kayne Anderson Real Estate and Alatus Announce the Sale of Luxury Single-Asset Multifamily Property in Minnesota

Sale of 350-Unit Multifamily Community Known as The Berkman Located in Rochester, Minnesota, to CBRE Investment Management

ROCHESTER, Minn., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kayne Anderson Real Estate ("KA Real Estate"), the real estate private equity arm of Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P., and Alatus, LLC ("Alatus"), announced today that they have closed the sale of The Berkman, a 350-unit, Class A, multifamily community in Rochester, Minnesota, to CBRE Investment Management, which made the investment on behalf of one of its separate account clients.

Located at 217 14th Ave S.W., The Berkman sits across the street from the Mayo Clinic's Saint Marys Campus, the nation's largest intensive care unit, and is less than one mile from the Mayo Clinic's downtown campus. According to Newsweek, Rochester's Mayo Clinic is currently ranked as the best hospital in the world. The community is a three-minute drive from Downtown Rochester's shops, salons, restaurants, breweries and employers and a five-minute drive from the Apache Mall. Additionally, the property is a 10-minute drive from Rochester International Airport and just over a one-hour drive from Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Both KA Real Estate and Alatus maintain a successful track record and forward-thinking approach to real estate and are committed to prioritizing and incorporating environmental, social and governance ("ESG") standards into their businesses. KA Real Estate and Alatus made significant investments that directly provide environmental and social benefits to the property and the local community, including installations of efficient electric heat pump technology and low-flow plumbing fixtures which create water usage efficiencies of more than 60% relative to standard plumbing features, and the usage of recycled content and sustainable and regional materials during the construction phase, minimizing construction waste and the carbon footprint of transporting materials.

The Berkman offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, along with six walk-up townhomes. Units feature nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops and full-size washers and dryers. Community amenities include a rooftop entertainment lounge, a rooftop pet lawn and spa, an outdoor pool with a sundeck, a clubroom, a sports suite with a golf simulator, a library with private studies, a fireplace-equipped television lounge and a fitness center. The property also includes 23,494 square feet of commercial space.

"We are so proud to be a part of this best-in-class sustainable development with Alatus that has been carefully curated with innovative design utilizing repurposed materials and amenity-rich common spaces for our tenants to enjoy," said David Selznick, Chief Investment Officer, KA Real Estate. "Our objective was to provide an ESG-oriented community to support the Mayo Clinic's staff, patients and overall Rochester resident base and we are thrilled to have accomplished that with The Berkman, which has outperformed in every way."

"Alatus set out on a mission to deliver a transformational project that served the community of Rochester and the Mayo Clinic," said Robert Lux, CEO, Alatus. "Thanks to the vision and dedication of our team and the strong partnership with the City of Rochester and the Destination Medical Center, I can confidently say that we achieved our goal in producing a landmark asset for the community."

Benjamin Green, Managing Director, Residential Transactions, at CBRE Investment Management, added: "The Berkman represented an opportunity to invest in a top-of-the-line residential asset that features a rare level of amenities and benefits for Downtown Rochester residents. We believe that this asset's proximity to the area's elite base of education, research and world-renowned medical institutions, combined with strong demographic fundamentals, will position this property as a quality asset that will capitalize on durable demand from 'Eds and Meds'."

JLL Capital Markets represented the sellers. Their Sales and Advisory team was led by Managing Directors Mox Gunderson, Josh Talberg and Dan Linnell, Senior Director Adam Haydon, Executive Managing Directors Matthew Lawton and Jon Geanakos and Senior Managing Director Jim Curtin.
