Pre Certificate of Occupancy sale

Any one have experience on 100+ unit apartment sales sold pre certificate of occupancy?  Curious to know the potential discount or premium on a well built asset in a gateway coastal market.  Either cap rate spread or % discount/premium to expect?  If the opportunity is in an opportunity zone, are there funds who buy these projects?  Understand the market is different today but any input is appreciated.  If you have a link to groups that have raised QOZ funds that is accessable online, please post.  Thank you!

 

To answer your question, you would need to know exactly why the developer is selling the asset prior to CO, or even stabilization for that matter. Too many variables - even if it's just a merchant builder wanting to cash out asap, usually they would sell during construction to a group at a discount or after CO - not when construction is completed but before a CO has been given by the city.

It's hard to say right now because so much has changed over the past year. Not trying to be vague - I just don't know how to accurately answer.

They were probably getting a mild discount to begin with when the pre-sale contract was signed, 1% to 2%-ish, but that was also when real estate values were as high as they had ever been, so you could argue they were paying an appropriate price. Since then they've pushed closing 4 months, retraded us for about $9M total, and one could argue that they are now overpaying. Only reason they haven't dropped is because they have so much money hard.
