Fourth Avenue Capital Secures Village on Broadway, Expands Pacific Northwest Presence

In a strategic move to bolster their investment footprint in the Pacific Northwest, Fourth Avenue Capital (FAC) recently confirmed the acquisition of Village on Broadway, a robust 148-unit workforce housing community located in Spokane Valley, Washington. This latest acquisition holds particular significance as it marks the addition of the 26th property to FAC's burgeoning portfolio, which now includes four in the Spokane—Coeur d'Alene metropolitan statistical area (MSA).

Village on Broadway, constructed in 1996, spans 7.3 acres and hosts a variety of living spaces across its 13 residential buildings, paired with a standalone leasing office. In terms of accommodations, the community presents a diverse array of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, with an average size of 926 square feet, catering to a wide demographic. The asset provides ample parking with a cumulative 270 spaces, including at least one carport per unit, and additional garage and surface parking alternatives.

The apartments at Village on Broadway offer a plethora of modern living necessities, which include full-size washers and dryers, air conditioning, and the unique feature of built-in desks – a particularly appealing amenity in the current era when remote work is increasingly commonplace. Residents are poised to benefit from the community's strategic location, delivering direct access to Interstate 90 and linking them efficiently to key employment centers, shopping districts, and leisure venues between Spokane and Coeur d'Alene.

FAC, demonstrating a forward-facing approach in property management, has divulged plans for a series of targeted capital improvements to enrich the Village on Broadway experience. These enhancements aim to revitalize the property's first impressions through upgraded amenities, refreshed exterior paintwork, and an overall lift to the residential atmosphere.

Davis Vaughn, Managing Partner at Fourth Avenue Capital underscored the inherent value and opportunity represented by Village on Broadway, stating, "Village on Broadway is a well-located asset in a growth market with differentiated floorplans." He added, "As a Spokane-based company, we are excited about the opportunity to invest locally and continue our commitment to quality housing in our home market."

This acquisition by FAC is a demonstration of its steadfast dedication to not only expand its portfolio but also to fortify the quality and accessibility of workforce housing. It underscores the company's nuanced understanding of local markets and their potential for economic development through strategic real estate investment and community involvement.
