Kairos Investment Management Company Acquires 238-Unit Affordable Multifamily Community for $34.6 Million in Georgia

Kairos Investment Management Company (KIMC), a firm that focuses on value-based real estate investments with favorable risk/reward characteristics, has acquired Walton Crossing, a 238-unit affordable multifamily community in the Atlanta metropolitan area of Austell, Georgia. Kairos purchased the property from the seller, an affordable housing developer located in the same area, for $34.6 million.

“We have seen the demand for high-quality, affordable housing outpace available supply throughout the country, especially in markets that attract renters due to job availability and lifestyle,” says Carl Chang, CEO and Founder of Kairos. “As a company that actively takes a proactive approach to asset management, our team is adept at identifying properties that can benefit from our value-add strategy and enhance the lifestyle of present and future renters.”

Built in 1990, Walton Crossing is nestled in the desirable Austell submarket of Atlanta and situated on 20.07 acres. Located approximately 15 miles from downtown Atlanta, the multifamily community is well within a 35-minute drive from the historic city which offers residents a myriad of employment opportunities and well-known attractions.

“We find the location of this property compelling for our firm as we target stable cash-flowing properties in strong secondary markets that offer low vacancy rates and above average population growth while being conveniently situated near major employers,” adds Chang. “Walton Crossing aligns perfectly with Kairos’ impact strategy for affordable housing communities near urban areas like downtown Atlanta, which are predicted to see a growth in the multifamily, retail, office, and restaurant sectors in 2022.”
