America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. Announces the Sale of Eagle Village MF Property

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 05, 2017 -- America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. (NASDAQ:ATAX) (the “Partnership”) announced today that on November 30, 2017, it sold Eagle Village, a 511 bed student housing property, held in its MF Property portfolio, located in Evansville, Indiana for approximately $12.8 million.  ATAX will realize a gross gain of approximately $2.8 million, before income tax expense, direct and indirect expenses to be recognized, in the fourth quarter of 2017. 

In the third quarter of 2010, ATAX acquired a minority interest in Eagle Village and in June 2011 acquired the remaining ownership interests in the property.  On December 31, 2011, only 70% of the 511 beds in the student housing property were physically occupied.

ATAX actively utilized and managed the resources of Burlington Capital’s full service Real Estate Platform (the “Platform”) to transform the demographics and economics of Eagle Village.  The Platform consists of property management, construction management and monitoring and marketing.  Prior to the sale of Eagle Village, ATAX had increased the physical occupancy to approximately 93% at September 30, 2017 and had transformed its economic performance.

“In 2011, we thought Eagle Village represented an opportunity to utilize our Platform to transform this property into a performing asset of the Partnership,” said Chad Daffer, Chief Executive Officer of ATAX.  “The sale of Eagle Village at a gross gain of approximately $2.8 million is the culmination of our goal to maximize the value of this asset to the benefit of our Unitholders.”
