NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. Announces Acquisition Of Rockledge - A Residential Apartment Community In Atlanta, Georgia

July 10, 2017

DALLAS, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (NYSE:NXRT) announces the acquisition of a 708-unit apartment community in Marietta, Georgia. Management has published more information on the merits of this acquisition in an investor presentation at the Investor Relations section of the NXRT website at www.nexpointliving.com.

On June 30, 2017, NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (the "Company"), through its operating partnership, NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. ("NXRT OP"), acquired the property, Rockledge – A Residential Resort ("Rockledge"), from an unaffiliated third-party for approximately $113.5 million. Rockledge consists of 708 units situated on 78.1 acres of contiguous land within Atlanta's second largest Class A Office submarket (Cumberland/Galleria), approximately one mile from the new Atlanta Braves stadium (Sun Trust Park), with direct access to the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area. Originally developed in three phases by Post Properties, Rockledge had average monthly rents of $1,153 and 93.6% physical occupancy at acquisition.

The Rockledge acquisition was structured as a reverse 1031 exchange to facilitate the Company's continued plan to recycle capital in a tax efficient manner from dispositions of its rehabbed assets into well-located, "covered-land" assets with value-add potential in the Company's core target markets. The Company funded the purchase price with cash on hand, and borrowings of approximately $113.5 million under a bridge facility with KeyBank National Association, and a new first mortgage with the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which the Company entered into, through NXRT OP, on June 30, 2017. Following the completion of the reverse 1031 exchange, management expects the Rockledge loan-to-value ratio to stabilize at approximately 55%.
