Hines Global Income Trust Acquires The Emerson

January 27, 2020

(CEN­TRE­VILLE, VIR­GINIA) – Hines, the inter­na­tion­al real estate firm, is pleased to announce that Hines Glob­al Income Trust, Inc. (“Hines Glob­al”) has acquired the Emer­son, a new­ly con­struct­ed Class A, 355‐​unit mul­ti­fam­i­ly asset locat­ed in Cen­tre­ville, Vir­ginia, approx­i­mate­ly 21 miles west of Wash­ing­ton, D.C.

The Emer­son is the first new prod­uct to be deliv­ered in the last five years with­in a three-mile radius of its loca­tion. Locat­ed in the Out­ly­ing Fair­fax sub­mar­ket of North­ern Vir­ginia, the Emer­son sits at the con­flu­ence of three major thor­ough­fares: I‑66, Route 28, and Route 29.

The Emer­son has first-rate ameni­ties and offers stu­dio, one‑, two- and three-bed­room apart­ments with units aver­ag­ing 925 square feet. Since its deliv­ery in the sec­ond quar­ter of 2019, the asset has shown excep­tion­al lease-up momen­tum and is cur­rent­ly 67% leased and 65% occupied.

Jan­ice Walk­er, Chief Oper­at­ing Offi­cer of Hines Glob­al, said, The Emer­son is the newest prop­er­ty and, we believe, the high­est-qual­i­ty offer­ing in a sub­mar­ket where the aver­age age of mul­ti­fam­i­ly prod­uct is 23 years. Giv­en the age of the com­pe­ti­tion and the lim­it­ed sup­ply pipeline, the Emer­son is well‐​positioned to achieve pre­mi­um rents while main­tain­ing sta­bi­lized occu­pan­cy. We are excit­ed about expand­ing our mul­ti­fam­i­ly port­fo­lio with this strate­gic acquisition.”

Demand for mul­ti­fam­i­ly with­in sub­ur­ban Fair­fax Coun­ty is high­ly cor­re­lat­ed with the project’s prox­im­i­ty to the major busi­ness nodes of the region. Sit­u­at­ed at the inter­sec­tion of three major thor­ough­fares, the Emer­son pro­vides great access to the area’s employ­ers,” added Senior Man­ag­ing Direc­tor Chuck Watters.
