Asset Acquisition

 

Sunset Controlled Subsidiary - Panama City, FL

 

On March 23, 2022, we acquired ownership of a “majority-owned subsidiary,” FR-Sunset, LLC (the “Sunset Controlled Subsidiary”), for a purchase price of approximately $6,020,000, which is the initial stated value of our equity interest in a new investment round in the Sunset Controlled Subsidiary (the “Sunset Growth eREIT VII Investment”). Fundrise Real Estate Interval Fund, LLC acquired ownership of the remaining equity interest in the new investment round in the Sunset Controlled Subsidiary, for a purchase price of approximately $54,180,000 (the “Sunset Interval Fund Investment” and, together with the Sunset Growth eREIT VII Investment, the “Sunset Investment”). The Sunset Controlled Subsidiary used the proceeds of the Sunset Investment to acquire two hundred thirty-three (233) detached single family homes, all generally located off of Emma Grace Drive in Panama City, FL (the “Sunset Property”). Construction on the Sunset Property was completed in February 2022. It was approximately 51.5% occupied as of the closing date. The Sunset Growth eREIT VII Investment was funded with proceeds from our Offering, and the closing of the Sunset Investment and the Sunset Property occurred concurrently.

 

The Sunset Controlled Subsidiary is managed by us.

 

Pursuant to the agreements governing the Sunset Growth eREIT VII Investment, we have authority for the management of the Sunset Controlled Subsidiary, including the Sunset Property. In addition, an affiliate of our sponsor earned an acquisition fee of approximately 1.0% of the total purchase price, paid directly by the Sunset Controlled Subsidiary.

 

The Sunset Property was acquired for a total purchase price of approximately $107,500,000, an average of approximately $461,300 per home. We anticipate additional hard costs of approximately $616,000 for miscellaneous minor capital expenditures and rebranding, as well as additional soft costs and financing costs of approximately $2,084,000 bringing the total projected project cost for the Sunset Property to approximately $110,200,000. To finance the acquisition of the Sunset Property, a $50,000,000 senior loan with an 18-month term and an interest rate of SOFR + 1.75% with 18-months interest only was secured. The Sunset Property consists of a mix of unit types and floorplans, ranging from 1,546 square foot 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes to 2,578 square foot 5 bedroom, 3 bath homes. Professional third-party property management will be installed to manage the Sunset Property.

 

The following table contains underwriting assumptions for the Sunset Property. Assumptions are presented at the asset level. All of the values in the table below are assumptions that we believe to be reasonable; however, there can be no guarantee that such results will be achieved.
