MC Companies and a foreign equity partner acquired

The Fountains at Sun City, an apartment community in Sun City,  Arizona.

 

Scottsdale, AZ (PR NEWSWIRE) – October 14, 2008 MC Companies partnered with an investment group to acquire The Fountains at Sun City, a 182 unit apartment community located in Sun City, Arizona.   www.mccompanies.com   

 

The purchaser is a limited partnership, with MC Companies as the general partner, and a foreign investment group as limited partners. 

 

This is the third acquisition for MC Companies since May of this year.  Bay Harbour, a 308 unit community in Baytown (Houston), Texas was acquired in May, and Cooper’s Hill, a 255 unit community in Austin, Texas was acquired in July.

 

MC Companies principal and co-partner Ross McCallister said the company is on target with its acquisition plans.  Commenting on the new limited partnership, McCallister said, “When this group came to us mid-summer looking to become equity partners, we were able to put together the right investment and structure a deal for this group, recognizing today’s economic climate.“

 

Ken McElroy, partner and co-principal says the company’s slow and steady growth strategy is working well.   “We are following our plan to acquire properties when and where they fit within our criteria - and make sense in this new economic environment.”

MC Companies Raises Equity and Performs on
Two Multi-family Purchase Contracts in 45-Day Period

 

Major lenders show confidence in MC Companies, and provide funding for acquisitions in Baytown (Houston) and Austin, Texas.  Despite concerns in the real estate market and the financial sector, company principals Ross McCallister and Ken McElroy secure financing and raise equity to expand into two new market areas.

 

 

Scottsdale, AZ (PR NEWSWIRE) – July 22, 2008 MC Companies, a real estate investment and development company announced the completion of two back-to-back multi-family acquisitions adding 563 units to the company’s portfolio.  Cooper’s Hill located in Austin, Texas closed July 17, 2008 and Bay Harbour Apartments in Baytown, Texas closed in June.  

“Our ability to secure financing and perform on two acquisitions within 45 days of each other demonstrates the high level of confidence our lenders and investors have in our  expertise,” said Ken McElroy, co-principal of MC Companies.  

“Lenders are very diligent today – they demand a solid track record, and strong relationships,” said Ross McCallister, co-principal of MC Companies. McCallister and McElroy have both the solid track record and the strong relationships.  They secured the loan commitment for the Austin deal within 48 hours of signing the contract. 

“Many of our investors have interests in more than one deal,” said McCallister.  “They expect us to find deals that have the potential to deliver above average returns.” Long-time business partners McCallister and McElroy raised and invested the largest single amount of equity in the company’s history for the Austin deal. 

The Texas acquisitions represent expansion into new market areas for MC Companies.
