About the Project

Olive Branch Townhomes was acquired in March of 2015 as a fee simple acquisition. In addition, Dominium took over as the property manager at the time of closing. After being acquired, Olive Branch underwent a rehabilitation to make both capital improvements and to address deferred maintenance.

The Challenge

The property, formerly known as Ashton Pointe Apartments, was in need of significant apartment upgrades. In addition, the site required new management and an all-new branded image. Repairs were badly needed, as the previous owner had not kept up with maintenance on the buildings and grounds.

What We Did

Olive Branch Townhomes was financed using 1031 exchange equity from a similar transaction. Immediately upon closing the transaction, the property was refinanced which allowed for the equity to be distributed.

Dominium improvements to the property included rehabilitation to the clubhouse, landscaping, parking lot repairs, and site signage. Townhome amenities were also upgraded, with new washer and dryer equipment, new kitchen appliances, resurfaced kitchen countertops, new kitchen faucets, new vinyl flooring and carpet as needed, lighting improvements, ceiling repairs and many other miscellaneous items to improve the appeal and livability of the development.
