\u2022 Atlanta-based REIT fields inbound interest, no deal guaranteed<\/p>\n
Preferred Apartment Communities Inc., a real estate investment trust that owns retail and multifamily properties, is exploring options including a full or partial sale after receiving inbound interest, according to people with knowledge of the matter.<\/p>\n
The Atlanta-based landlord, led by Chief Executive Officer Joel Murphy, is in the early stages of evaluating its options, one of the people said. It\u2019s possible no transaction will result.<\/p>\n
A spokesman for Preferred Apartment Communities declined to comment.<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s shares closed Wednesday at $17.96 apiece, giving it a market value of about $951 million. As of Sept. 30, it owned or was invested in 107 properties in 13 U.S. states such as Florida, South Carolina and Texas, mostly Class A apartment buildings as well as grocery-anchored shopping centers. The REIT also makes multifamily real estate loans.<\/p>\n
In 2021, the company divested office assets to buyers including Highwoods Properties Inc., part of a previously announced strategy to simplify its business.<\/p>\n
One of the Preferred Apartment Communities\u2019 investors, Arkhouse Partners, nominated directors in an effort to oust the majority of its board, Reuters reported in December.<\/p>\n
