THE OPPORTUNITY
The Zupancic Group of Marcus & Millichap, as the exclusive listing agent approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Columbia, is pleased to present the exclusive offering of Flower House, a 20-unit multifamily asset located in Takoma Park, Maryland. The sale is subject to a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy process, offering investors faster closing times, reducing the investor's exposure to market fluctuations, and increasing the likelihood of a smooth transaction. Additionally, this process allows for greater flexibility in structuring the deal.
THE ASSET
Flower House presents an attractive investment opportunity, boasting a 15,846 gross square foot multifamily building on a generous 20,690 square foot lot with R-10 zoning. The asset features a strong unit mix for significant rental revenue potential with a mix of 11 one-bedroom and nine two-bedroom units. The one-bedroom units are approximately 650 SF with an average in place rent of $947, and the two-bedroom units are approximately 800 SF with an average rent of $968. Both unit types are renting below comparables in the market allowing an investor to increase rents in accordance with the City of Takoma Park rent control. Flower House features a 24-spot parking lot behind the property, which is an untapped source of income. The asset is also 95% occupied, producing immediate rental income for new investors.
THE LOCATION
