RECENTLY IMPROVED COURTYARD-STYLE ASSET WITH
REDUCED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Oaklawn Place is a 37-unit courtyard-style apartment complex in Corsicana,
TX, constructed in 1963. There is a generous mix of one and two-bedroom floor
plans averaging 623 square feet. Ownership has already completed several
major capital projects, including replacing the roof in 2022 and eliminating
the property’s aging chiller system through the installation of individual
mini-split HVAC systems in 2025. The complex is also serviced by a central
boiler and updated laundry rooms on each floor. These improvements position
new ownership to focus on operational performance rather than addressing
significant deferred maintenance items.
OPERATIONAL UPSIDE THROUGH OCCUPANCY STABILIZATION
AND EXPENSE RECOVERY
Oaklawn Place presents investors with the opportunity to increase revenue
through occupancy stabilization and operational efficiencies. The business
plan is centered on improving existing operations rather than executing a
capital-intensive renovation program, providing a more predictable path toward
NOI growth. The property offers attainable housing within a market where
replacement costs continue to rise, and new multifamily development remains
limited. Oaklawn Place’s floor plans serve the growing workforce housing
segment that continues to drive renter demand throughout secondary Texas
markets. Ownership has successfully implemented a RUBS program that helps
offset utility expenses and improve operational efficiency. Future ownership
can continue leveraging this structure to recover expenses while maintaining
affordability for residents.
