Executive Summary
Berkadia is pleased to present the sale of Mason at Van Dorn (the “Property”), a 1,180-unit community located within the heart of Virginia’s vibrant Alexandria submarket. The Property is located adjacent to the WestEnd Alexandria, the 52-acre redevelopment of the former Landmark Mall. WestEnd Alexandria is one of the largest mixed-use development projects in Northern Virginia anchored by the future Inova Alexandria Hospital Campus that will soon support over 2,000 healthcare workers.
Mason at Van Dorn is an ideal live, work, and play community for residents as the property offers an extensive recently renovated amenity package and the location provides seamless connectivity to major employers, retailers, and entertainment. With the Van Dorn Metro Station (blue line) just over a mile away from the Property, residents can conveniently access major employment hubs including the newly delivered Phase I of Amazon’s HQ2 (5 stops, 16 minutes) and the incoming $1 billion Virginia Tech Innovation Campus (3 stops, 11 minutes).
Mason at Van Dorn is an exceptional investment opportunity with consistent in-place cash flow and strong historical occupancy. The Property presents an opportunity to preserve affordable housing, capture many occupational efficiencies due to scale, and to purchase at an advantageous price-point below replacement cost with proven value-add upside. Current ownership has spent significant capital on community amenities, allowing new ownership to focus on unit renovations across 100% of the property to deliver consistent finishes throughout the community and achieve premiums upwards of $300+/ per unit/ per month.
