Deaton Investment Real Estate is pleased to offer the exclusive listing of Centennial Lofts in Raleigh, N.C. This 53-unit property is located adjacent to N.C. State University, three miles west of Downtown Raleigh and in the heart of one the strongest performing economic regions in the United States. Over the last four years, ownership has invested more than $1.8 million in capital improvements including interior renovations of every unit, roof replacements, and more.

The average asking rent in the Downtown Raleigh submarket is currently $1,530, which is approximately $400 higher than the average rent at Centennial Lofts. The affordability of rents, coupled with proximity to the major economic districts of Raleigh and the Triangle, sets the stage for tremendous organic rent growth and low vacancy at Centennial Lofts. Furthermore, the opportunity exists to capture income-upside through stabilizing occupancy and minimizing delinquency, operational efficiencies, improving the water reimbursement recapture rate, installing washers and dryers, and eliminating the use of the model unit.

Over the last 12 months, rents have increased more than 15% in Downtown Raleigh while the average occupancy level sits above 93%. Raleigh’s multifamily market has maintained robust demand as the result of thousands of job announcements, surging wage growth and persistent population growth. N.C. State University alone produces more than 9,000 graduates per year and has an enrollment of more than 36,000 students. This enrollment is expected to surpass 40,000 in the next five years with engineering and computer science growth on Centennial Campus. The entrance to N.C. State’s Centennial Campus is two-tenths of a mile (four minute walk) from Centennial Lofts. Centennial Campus is one of the premier research parks in the United States. It features over 5mn square feet of innovation space, 5,600 employees, 70 companies, and was recently rezoned to allow for the substantial additional development.
