IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (STAR) announced today the determination of an estimated value per share of the company’s common stock of $14.46 as of December 31, 2015.

The estimated value per share was determined by STAR’s board of directors after independent, third-party firms conducted property-level and aggregate valuation analyses on STAR’s 30 apartment community properties plus cash and other assets, less the estimated value of outstanding mortgage debt and other liabilities, divided by the number of shares issued and outstanding on an adjusted fully diluted basis.

“We believe this estimated value per share reflects one of the non-traded REIT industry’s best valuations relative to initial share price in the shortest time since escrow break,” said Ella Neyland, president of Steadfast Apartment REIT. “We feel this highlights the successful execution of our strategy of bringing institutional-quality management to our portfolio of apartment properties, and then making comparatively minor aesthetic improvements that have a significant impact on the property’s revenue and resale value.”

The REIT, which closed to new investments on March 24, 2016, conducted its valuation in accordance with guidelines issued by the Investment Program Association.
