ANiMAL

We're excited to partner with the distinguished team at Lincoln Property Company to manage and add value to our West Midtown portfolio!

We just closed three prime sites totaling 10.15 acres in the heart of Atlanta’s thriving Summerhill neighborhood! This acquisition brings ANiMAL’s future development pipeline to ~6,500 residential units with a gross realization of over $2.8 billion. A major milestone for our team and our investors! The acquired sites currently serve as surface parking lots. Our portfolio now contains 3,899 parking bays… so if you need a place to park, you know who to call! https://lnkd.in/gHDwMaDK

"ANiMAL is doubling down on Charlotte." The Charlotte Business Journal spoke to Alex Wilson and Max Cookes about ANiMAL's commitment to Charlotte and the value of having a physical presence in the city. As Alex put it, we are seeing “opportunity across almost every asset class, including single-family, land, urban infill, mixed-use, multifamily and retail. There’s even value at the right basis in office today, and we’ve gotten smart on parking garages over the last year and a half." ANiMAL is aggressively seeking new investment opportunities, please send them our way!

We have grown the pack! We’re thrilled to welcome Alex Wilson as ANiMAL’s Director of Asset Management and Acquisitions. Alex, a lifelong Charlotte resident, will establish our office there and drive our growth plans in the region. He joins ANiMAL from one of the world's largest investment management firms, bringing a wealth of experience that will be invaluable in maximizing income and minimizing costs across ANiMAL’s entire portfolio. Alex will also be a key player on our acquisitions team, applying his expertise to identify and evaluate new investment opportunities. With Alex, our assets are in the best possible hands!

More big news for our #UptownCharlotte neighbors. Minor League Baseball team the Charlotte Knights, whose home base is #TruistField, was sold to NYC-based Diamond Baseball Holdings for over $100M! The new owner wants to “aggressively invest in future ballpark improvements”. This sale comes on the heels of the recent $1.3 billion in funding secured for upgrades at the Bank of America Stadium by City of Charlotte and Tepper Sports & Entertainment, highlighting not only the huge influx of investment but the long-term commitment by major sports franchises to this pocket of Uptown Charlotte. ANiMAL's Mint St Parking Deck is literally sandwiched between Truist Field and #BofAStadium! We’re in very good company and we're very excited about the trajectory of Uptown Charlotte.🏆

We are thrilled to congratulate the City of Charlotte, Tepper Sports & Entertainment, Carolina Panthers, and Charlotte FC on this monumental outcome: $1.3 billion for the renovation of the Bank of America Stadium and a commitment to Uptown Charlotte until 2045. The renders look incredible and it’s great to see this recognized all over the news! The caliber of this project, as well as what the amazing developers are doing opposite will make this the new focal point of the City. We are excited to be your neighbor with a 2,175 bay parking deck on ~5 acres just steps away, and to provide parking to anyone visiting what will be a truly iconic stadium. Go Panthers! Keep Pounding! #TheNewYorkTimes #Bloomberg #CharlotteBusinessChronicle #ESPN #BofAStadium The New York Times article: https://lnkd.in/gmBaw6BE
