DESTIN, FL – Olympus Property announces the successful acquisition of Vintage Destin, a garden-style, Class-A multifamily community in Destin, Florida. Effective immediately, the asset will be renamed Olympus Emerald Coast.
Olympus Emerald Coast is located just north of US Hwy 98, providing convenient regional access to the market’s top employment drivers, but also less than one mile from Destin’s award-winning white sand beaches. Built in 2020, the 282-unit community features a resort-style pool with private cabanas, fitness center, pet park and spa, bike share program, and a landscaped rooftop deck with ocean views. Home interiors include stainless steel appliances, hardwood inspired floors, quartz countertops, kitchen islands, and frameless shower doors.
“Olympus Emerald Coast is a best-in-class asset in a market that’s experiencing exceptional rent growth, paired with a minimal supply pipeline. Expanding into a new market also makes this acquisition special for us.” said Travis Bertetto, Olympus Acquisitions Manager.
Destin is the principal city of the Fort Walton Beach-Crestview-Destin, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is home to nearly 250,000 residents. Originating as a small fishing village on a peninsula separating the Gulf of Mexicofrom Choctawhatchee Bay, the city styles itself as “The World’s Luckiest Fishing Village,” and claims to have the largest fishing vessel fleet in the state of Florida.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Centerspace (NYSE: CSR) has entered into Contribution Agreements with entities managed by KMS Management, Inc. (KMS), to buy a portfolio of 17 communities for the aggregate buy price of $323.8 million. The portfolio of 19 real estate assets is comprised of 14 communities in Minneapolis, Minnesota and three communities in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

The Company will fully fund the transaction through the issuance of up to $197.3 million Convertible Preferred Operating Partnership units that pay a preferred 3.875% dividend and are convertible into common units at an exchange rate of 1.2048 common units per Convertible Preferred Operating Partnership Unit representing a conversion price of $83.00 per unit. In lieu of Convertible Preferred Operating Partnership Units, KMS may elect to receive up to $16.2 million of the aggregate buy price in cash at closing. The Company will buy the communities subject to approximately $126.5 million in mortgage liabilities, a part of which the Company intends to refinance upon consummation of the transaction. Additionally, the Company plans to fund approximately $40 million of capital into repositioning the communities over the next 24-36 months. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, subject to customary approvals and closing conditions.
“This fully-funded acquisition fits seamlessly into our investment thesis,” said Mark O. Decker Jr., President and CEO. “Adding KMS’ communities, team and investors to our Company will double our presence in our core market of Minneapolis, increase the scale of our operations and provide numerous opportunities to improve our business. We are thankful to the KMS team and investors and all of their work on this transaction and for their faith in Centerspace as they join our platform.”
Centerspace currently owns 2,537 homes in Minneapolis across 14 communities and 1,192 homes in St. Cloud in six communities. With the addition of the KMS portfolio, the Company will increase its footprint in Minneapolis to 4,901 homes and to 1,524 homes in St. Cloud.
