The apartment industry made a surprising recovery in 2010 from the aforementioned recession. Like all commercial real estate sectors, apartments have traditionally been a lagging industry, and the rather modest improvement in the economy had suggested a more muted pickup in apartment demand. Instead, the popularity of renting increased to its highest level since 1998—with the share of households who rent rising to 33.4 percent by year-end—and occupancy rates rose across the country. Net absorptions were also strong and rents increased as well (though not yet enough to fully offset the previous decline). The modest improvement in employment led to some “un-coupling” of households, but demand was mainly fueled by new households being formed coupled with reduced resident turnover (especially move-outs to homeownership). Meanwhile, starts of new multifamily buildings remained at historically low levels, while completions— which lag new starts—fell by 43 percent. They will likely set an all-time low in 2011. In large part this stems from the continued difficulty in obtaining construction financing. The combination of a demand surge and reduced new supply foreshadows further gains in occupancy and rents in the next two years. With other commercial real estate sectors not as far along in their recovery, equity capital has shown increasing interest in apartment investment; the Equity Financing Index in the January 2011 NMHC Quarterly Survey of Apartment Market Conditions rose to a record high of 74, with the highest percentage ever (52 percent) of respondents saying they had greater access to equity capital than late last year. Transaction Boom Not surprisingly, transaction volume rebounded as well, more than doubling to $31 billion. While still a far cry from the condo conversion-fueled boom of 2005-2007, it’s a strong gain in the context of tighter financing conditions. On the plus side, the debt finance markets also took a few steps toward a more normalized environment, as life insurance companies got back into the market and even the CMBS market showed signs of life. Still, the industry continues to rely heavily on the GSEs and FHA for support. After being dragged down by 30 percent or more during the recession and financial crisis, apartment property prices recovered substantial ground in 2010. Correspondingly, cap rates on apartments have come down 50 basis points from the peak in mid-2009. The total number of apartments owned by firms in the NMHC 50 owners list is 7.7 percent greater than the number managed by the top 50 managers. The mean and median portfolios among the owners are NMHC 50 PROFILE 2011 also larger than the mean and median management Portfolio Size: portfolios. Nonetheless, the top management firm has No. of Apartments Owned a larger portfolio than the top owner firm, and the No. of Apartments Managed entry threshold for NMHC 50 managers is higher than that for the NMHC 50 owners. Thirty-three firms on Minimum Entry Threshold: the management list have at least 30,000, but fewer than 50,000, apartments. By contrast, only 19 firms on No. of Apartments Owner the owners list are in that range.

This year’s survey asked some general questions about business type and geographic location of their apartments. Forty-two firms indicated they own market-rate apartments, 33 firms own tax credit or affordable units and 18 firms have senior housing apartments. The most popular region among top 50 owners is the South Atlantic, where all but four firms own apartments. Of course, the South Atlantic also has the most apartments.

While not perfect—ownership of non-apartment assets can substantially affect overall firm value—it provides a useful perspective on relative size among apartment firms. 10 NMHC 50 APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR APARTMENT MANAGERS There were fewer changes among the NMHC top 50 managers. Only two new firms made the list, and the same firms from last year’s top ten made up the 2011 top ten as well, albeit with some changed rankings. The biggest change was the new leader: on the strength of a sizable net increase in its management portfolio (a gain of 33,541 TOP 10 APARTMENT MANAGEMENT FIRMS apartments), Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC Rank Company No. of became the largest apartment manager in the Apartments Managed country. Riverstone Residential Group remained in the No. 2 slot, with last year’s biggest manage1 Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC 187,360 ment firm, Pinnacle Family of Companies, now 2 Riverstone Residential Group 162,182 ranked No. 3. Lincoln Property Company (No. 3 Pinnacle Family of Companies 151,367 4) and Equity Residential (No. 5) switched places 4 Lincoln Property Company 133,425 from last year, as did WinnCompanies (No. 7) and 5 Equity Residential 129,604 Archstone (No. 8). 6 AIMCO 117,119 Besides Greystar, the biggest portfolio gainers 7 WinnCompanies 84,817 were newcomer CAPREIT, WinnCompanies and 8 Archstone 81,613 The Laramar Group, LLC. Laramar was also the biggest mover in the management rankings, mov9 Camden Property Trust 63,498 ing up 19 places to the No. 24 slot. JRK Property 10 Bell Partners Inc. 60,182 Holdings, Inc. and McKinley, Inc. also moved up the rankings ladder substantially. One key characteristic of today’s apartment management landscape is the large number of similar-sized firms just outside the top ten. The No. 11 firm (FPI Management, Inc.) manages 58,604 apartments, while the No. 50 firm manages 28,085 apartments, a difference of 30,519. By comparison, the management portfolio of the top firm is 91,185 units larger than that of the No. 10 firm. Another measure of just how tightly bunched the middle of the rankings list is: Gables Residential increased the number of apartments under management (by 263 units), yet still fell in the rankings by 4 slots.

The number of apartments included in the NMHC 50 manager list increased by 1.2 percent in 2011 to 2,722,894, the second-highest level in the survey’s history (the highest was 2,728,108 in 2008). Seven of the top ten firms reduced their management portfolios, compared with only three that increased their portfolios. As a result, the apartments managed by the ten largest firms declined by 2.1 percent, the second straight decline. By contrast, apartments under management by the “second ten” firms rose by 1.7 percent. More significantly, the portfolios of the “second 25” firms rose by 4.9 percent to a record high of 837,880. Both the mean (average) and the median rose and are close to their alltime highs. The minimum size needed to make it into the top 50 (28,085 apartments) set a new record, 1,240 more than the previous record set last year.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR METHODOLOGY For the second straight year, the National Multi Housing Council partnered with Kingsley Associates to handle the NMHC 50 survey process (though NMHC remains solely responsible for any errors). To compile the NMHC 50 lists, both organizations gather names of owners and managers from as wide a range of sources as possible and contacts staff from each firm who complete the survey online. Over the years, improved outreach and increased publicity associated with the rankings has resulted in more firms responding to the survey. For the purposes of this survey, investment fund managers are treated as owners only if they retain substantial equity in the apartment property or if they maintain effective responsibility and decision-making over the investment property. Similarly, tax credit syndicators and franchisers are regarded as owners only if they retain a fiduciary responsibility. (When firms function strictly as advisers rather than investors, they are not regarded as owners.) The rankings do not distinguish between partial and full ownership. Some firms own sizable apartment properties through joint ventures in which their share could range anywhere from 1 to 99 percent. Others are primarily the sole owners of their apartments. In principle, it would be desirable to account for partial ownership—treating 50 percent ownership of 100 apartments as equivalent to full ownership of 50 units, for example. In practice, it is not feasible to make such distinctions. The survey excludes condominiums, cooperatives, hotel rooms, nursing homes, hospital rooms, mobile homes and houses with rental units. Rental housing for seniors (age-restricted apartments) is included, although assisted living and congregate care facilities are not. Finally, since we measure industry concentration by comparing the top 50 owners and managers against the nation’s entire apartment stock, only U.S. apartments are included. At times, a firm may debut on the NMHC 50 at a high level. Generally, this means the firm is responding to the survey for the first time, rather than an indication of an outsized portfolio gain—although that, too, happens on occasion. Nonetheless, despite many improvements and everyone’s best efforts, the process remains imperfect: it relies on both accurate reporting and surveying of the complete universe, both of which can be fraught with problems. There are two caveats in comparing the lists over time. First, the definition was refined in 2006 to eliminate those investment fund managers with neither substantial equity nor effective control over the investment property. Second, occasionally firms that have previously been among the top 50 owners or managers have not responded to the NMHC survey. This year, both Crow Holdings and GE Real Estate—firms that are likely large enough to make the ownership NMHC 50—declined to participate. As a result, two other companies appear on the list that otherwise might not have been large enough. In addition, this affects the total number of apartments owned by the top 50 firms, as well as other measures of concentration such as the mean and median portfolio size. (Note that this did not affect the management list.) For these reasons, year-to-year comparisons must be made with great care. ______________________________________________________________________________ ! ! " !! " #! ! ! # ! %'# ! &# !! " #! ! # !

TRUST. VISION. EXPERIENCE. A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR A Familiar Face Returns to Multifamily He’s back. March 8, 2010 was a landmark date for prominent real estate investor Andrew L. Farkas — and arguably for the apartment sector as well. The day marked Farkas’ return to apartment investment a decade after selling his previous mega-portfolio. Farkas’ return to the field was as splashy as his exit back in the late 1990s. Affiliates of the Island Capital investment organization that Farkas heads on that day closed acquisitions of various assets of the struggling Centerline Holding Co. These include the commercial mortgage special servicing and mortgage-backed securities fund management divisions now operating under Island’s C-III Capital Partners unit. They also include a stake in fee-based multifamily finance originations and servicing, tax-credit equity fund management and related asset-management divisions still operating under the Centerline Capital Group name, which ranks No. 2 on the NMHC 50 Owners list. In conjunction with the transaction, the Island Capital affiliate known as Anubis Advisors, made up of key Island brain-trusters, now acts as external management advisor to both Centerline and C-III. As was the case with his Insignia Financial Group back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Farkas now aims to build a large portfolio of apartments and other assets by exploiting opportunities related to financial distress in the income-property arena. Farkas describes his re-entry into the multifamily field as replicating Insignia’s strategy adapted for the prevailing environment. But this time around he wants to gain control of assets by initially targeting the debt side rather than picking up ownership interests as he did back then. Andrew L. Farkas Chairman and CEO of Island Capital TARGETING COLLATERAL ASSETS More specifically, through C-III’s special servicing and CMBS fund management activities, he aims to take control of collateral assets underlying loans securitized mostly during the 2005-07 bubble years. “The equity lives inside the securitization today,” says Farkas, who amassed some 350,000 apartments under the Insignia umbrella while still in his 30s. “Back then we acquired portfolios by acquiring controlling classes of the [corresponding] equity security:” general partner interests in limited partnerships, managing member positions in limited liability companies and the like. But a decade into the new century — and now that he’s hit the half-century mark — Farkas and his longtime teammates want to “control the controlling classes of the debt security,” he explains. “The true ownership of equity is somewhere inside the CMBS stack.” Can Farkas and company succeed in the prevailing environment 16 NMHC 50 APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR as they did in the ’90s? Even after a decade away from the domestic apartment sector — he’s been off acquiring yachting lifestyle destinations and marinas around the globe — Farkas commands no shortage of peer respect. David Woodward, CEO of fast-growing apartment owner-operator Laramar Group, points to other notable investors who have since emulated Farkas’ move by investing in large special servicers. For instance, Cerberus Capital Management, Oaktree Capital Management and Vornado Realty Trust helped recapitalize LNR Partners’ parent company, and Fortress Investment Group bought CWCapital. “It seems everyone has their eye on Island as they’re determining how to proceed” when it comes to controlling real estate through special servicing rights and B-piece positions, Woodward adds. “Farkas is known as a savvy player, so if the opportunity is there, the thinking is he’ll find a way to make it work.” The Centerline deal appears to give Farkas a promising combination of assets and platforms. C-III took on special servicing responsibilities covering some $110 billion in commercial mortgages held in 80-plus CMBS securitizations. The transaction also brought Centerline’s former position in subordinate “first loss” tranches, known as B-pieces, of those CMBS bond issues, with combined face values of about $3.1 billion. GROWTH STRATEGY Where it makes economic sense and is in the best interests of CMBS bond-holder trusts, the C-III team will look to convert control of those B-piece tranches into control of financially distressed apartment properties and other real estate, Farkas is quick to acknowledge. Indeed, a primary component of the near-term growth strategy entails securing and exercising special-ser vicer options to acquire distressed assets at independently calculated “fair values” – but, again, just in select cases where that’s the best resolution for bond-holders. “This gives us the opportunity to make investments in defaulted assets,” Farkas relates. And it appears to be an attractive environment to pursue that strategy – again, given how far CMBS conduit lenders stretched in funding loans during the bubble years.

Insignia went public the following year and ultimately evolved into one of the world’s biggest owner-operators with 350,000 apartment units. When the economy was booming a couple of years before the dotcom bubble burst, Insignia sold most of that portfolio to public REIT Apartment Investment & Management Co. (AIMCO) for approximately $11 billion, including the combined capitalization of all the assets that traded hands. The rapid growth didn’t come without at least a bit of controversy, however: Insignia ultimately came to a settlement over allegations of improper fee-splitting arrangements covering HUD-financed apartments, agreeing to repay more than $7 million in management fees HUD had paid Insignia. Looking forward, the Farkas team expects to devote considerable resources in executing C-III’s and Centerline’s various multifamily strategies in coming years. TARGETING DISTRESSED PROPERTIES C-III began actively acquiring distressed properties through its special servicing activities in late 2010, with a handful closed by mid-February. “And we’ve got a bunch more teed up,” Farkas notes. As C-III is now special servicer for CMBS deals with security interests in all sorts of commercial real estate collateral, the team expects to take control of office, retail and hospitality assets in addition to apartments. “We will look to aggregate significant portfolios of each and [when the timing is right] seek exit strategies.” Apartments will be a primary thrust: “Obviously multifamily is an asset class in which we have some degree of comfort,” Farkas understates. If some market participants have expressed concerns that C-III, as special servicer, will look to take control of assets rather than pursue mutually favorable workouts with borrowers, Farkas points to the rules of the game. “We will always do what’s in the best interests of (CMBS) certificate holders; that’s our responsibility,” he stresses. “If it’s determined that the best-case outcome is through some liquidity strategy that involves sale of an asset, we’d look at that prospect.” As for the recapitalized Centerline operations, the tax-credit syndication operation – the nation’s second-largest apartment owner with interests in some 152,600 units at year-end – in mid-February closed its latest nearly $120 million multi-investor fund. After a considerable dip in taxcredit equity raising during the 2008-09 period, that space is “returning from its lull” and becoming more competitive, Farkas observes. He’s optimistic about Centerline’s affordable-housing financing originations businesses as well, given that the Obama Administration isn’t about to pursue dramatic program cuts even while looking to rein in the federal deficit. “The form that affordable-housing financing might take may be up in air,” Farkas observes, “but it’s a certainty that it will be a public (function).” There is, he says, inherent value in solid platforms for originating and servicing on behalf of Fannie and Freddie — or the entities that succeed them. 18 NMHC 50 APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR New Faces T he 2011 NMHC 50 Managers roster features two firms that experienced exceptional portfolio growth last year. CAPREIT, Inc. made its splashy debut at No. 42 after more than doubling its portfolio to 31,000-some units. And Laramar Group moved up an impressive 19 slots to No. 24 as its portfolio grew by some 11,000 units to more than 40,500. However, Laramar’s and CAPREIT’s growth came via contrasting strategies. Both reflect opportunities exploited by some of the savviest apartment operators in the prevailing market. While Laramar grew piecemeal mostly by taking over distressed properties for new clients, CAPREIT’s portfolio expansion came via a particularly transformative transaction. Laramar’s big jump is in great part a result of its strategic initiative to handle more short-term apartment property management and related engagements at distressed assets on behalf of lenders and special servicers, David Woodward explains David Woodward, the company’s Denver-based Managing Partner Mananging Partner and CEO and CEO. of the Laramar Group, LLC And the strategy senior executives adopted a couple of years back paid particularly large dividends in 2010. Laramar augmented its client roster with some household-name lenders, such as Wells Fargo and Citigroup, along with top-tier special servicers including LNR Partners, CWCapital, C-III Capital and Midland Loan Services. Laramar can also offer these customers services such as receiverships, due diligence and the construction management frequently needed at REOs and otherwise distressed properties. Indeed, Laramar is already acting as receiver for properties totaling upwards of 9,000 units in 12 states. “And that part of the portfolio just continues to grow,” relates #& "!! # Woodward.

The initial wave of distressed properties included plenty of “thinly under written” D+ and C- assets, Woodward recalls. But the latest distressed additions to Laramar’s portfolio are more Communities in: A L A B A M A | F L O R I DA | G E O R G I A | M A RY L A N D | M I S S O U R I often in the B quality range, many of N E VA D A | N O R T H C A R O L I N A | S O U T H C A R O L I N A | T E X A S | V I R G I N I A them in reasonable operational shape but with owners unable to fully refinance maturing mortgages in the prevailing credit environment, he adds. Fortunately, the firm was well pre- Ginkgo Residential is new in name only. APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR pared to take on these tough assignments, as Laramar has traditionally operated properties across much of the quality and price-point spectrums. Another challenge: given that these assignments typically culminate in preparing properties for dispositions or, in some cases, financial workouts, they’re mostly short-term in nature. The trick is to make sure the new relationships last a lot longer than the distressed-asset engagements, Woodward stresses. And that’s clearly the case with CWCapital, for whom Laramar has become the servicer’s largest multifamily fee manager. “We got in early with some of the big servicers, and now we’re one of their go-to managers,” Woodward relates. “We’re very happy with where we’re positioned with lenders and servicers; this gives us unique access to properties.” Laramar has traditionally overseen apartment communities for longterm holders, including institutional investors such as Prudential Real Estate and Henderson Global. And the firm’s internal, fully invested fund, dubbed Laramar Multi-Family Value Fund, accounts for some 8,000 units under management (a follow-up fund is scheduled to close later this year). A dozen or so new distressed-asset relationships would make Laramar’s management portfolio about as large as Woodward cares to see it. Concerned about potential “diseconomies” of a large-scale, multi-market operation, Woodward isn’t aiming to boost Laramar’s management portfolio beyond approximately 75,000 units in 30 markets. “I’d say 50,000 to 75,000 units is the perfect size for us. You start getting larger than that and it can be hard to turn the ship” when market dynamics necessitate limber strategic responses, Woodward explains. Laramar’s management portfolio is quickly approaching the 50,000-unit mark. That includes 8,000 units in the Bay Area alone, with 5,000 in San Francisco proper. While the firm usually sticks with communities of 100 or more units, success in a market like San Francisco can require a cluster of smaller projects. Indeed, Laramar’s portfolio in the bayside city averages fewer than 40 apartments per property. Several are REOs previously controlled by Lembi Group interests. Now, Woodward and company aim to replicate that portfolio growth strategy in New York City, where the company last year launched an operation to serve clients, as well as in Boston and Philadelphia. Woodward and associates recruited veteran David Sorise from The Dermot Co. to head the new regional office. Dick Kadish President of CAPREIT, Inc. Laramar Managed Fillmore Center in San Francisco, CA ONE FELL SWOOP As founder and owner Richard “Dick” Kadish explains, Rockville, Md.based CAPREIT’s growth last year likewise reflects a strategy pursued for a couple of recession-rocked years. But in CAPREIT’s case, nearly the entire portfolio expansion came via a single transaction that ultimately took much of two years to complete. A CAPREIT affiliate teamed with Morrison Grove Capital Advisors to take over management of Credit Suisse Group’s approximately 240-property, 15,000-plus-unit portfolio of tax-credit apartments. CAPREIT, which also part-owns and asset-manages other tax-credit, conventional and tax-exempt bond-financed properties, logically handles the hands-on 20 NMHC 50 APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR property-level work, while Morrison Grove oversees the tax-credit investor relationships. Kadish and his Morrison teammates were all too aware that their team was competing against 15 or so other qualified suitors for the portfolio. One key factor in securing the deal came when Credit Suisse engaged CAPREIT to asset manage a couple of the struggling properties. “Fortunately, we were able to turn around distressed situations into money-making operations by employing standard real estate management techniques and concentrated efforts,” Kadish recalls. One small property actually lacked a general partner, property manager and loan guarantor when CAPREIT took over. It also lacked tax-credit compliance approval for three years running. The new manager was able to resolve all those issues and boost occupancy from roughly 65 percent to completely full in just 63 days. Still, it took well over a year to win the competition and several more months to close the deal – on the last day of 2010. Doubling CAPREIT’s management portfolio in one fell swoop certainly presented challenges. But, fortunately, the CAPREIT/Morrison venture retained much of Credit Suisse’s professional team working on the portfolio. “So nothing was lost in transition,” as Kadish puts it. Kadish cites CAPREIT’s extensive affordable-housing program compliance policies and procedures as instrumental to winning and closing the Credit Suisse deal. “Much to our benefit we had very good relationships with the housing finance agencies in the states where the portfolio properties are located.” Kadish is now looking to further grow CAPREIT’s portfolio with additional transactions along the lines of the Credit Suisse deal. “Our biggest advocate, if you will, is the professionals on the Credit Suisse side who’ve seen us in action,” Kadish relates. “That’s the biggest recommendation we can make to (would-be sellers): go and ask these people how we’ve performed.” CAPREIT’s portfolio is generally 1/@3APg/^O`b[S\b:WTSQO\W\Q`SOaS`SaWRS\b`SbS\bW]\ concentrated in the Southeast, MidPg#$^S`QS\bOUS^]W\ba8cabOaY5`SgabO` Atlantic and Midwest regions along with some California properties. ]c ]c`1/ ]c` c`1/ 1/@3A 1/ @3A 3A^ 3A^` ^` ^`] ]U ]U` U`O O[ O[ [b`O [ b`O\aZ `O\aZ \ ObS \a ObSab a ]a a ab ]a]ZW ] ]ZWRS RS SQ]\ ]\][W ]\ ][ ][W [WQ Q` Q ``Sb Sbc bc`\ `\T]` ] ]c ]c c``Q QZWS WS\ba \ba \b \ba The impeccable profile of 1][ [[c [c\ c\Wb c WWbW bbWS Saaae Sa eWbbV1 V1 V 1/@3 /@3Ab AbbSO[ SO[aV SO[ aV aV aVOdS VO OdS SaV aV V]e ]e\ e b] b] ]Q] Q] Q Q]\a ]\aW \ abS \a S\bZg \bbZg \bZ g g CAPREIT’s capital partners on single]c ]cb cb^S` ^ T]`[ ^S T]` ]`[bVS [ bVS [b [ VS \] \]\ ] 1/ 1/ /@3A @3 Q][[c Q] Q][[c Q] [c\W \WbWSa \Wb WS WSa SaaaPg S Pg Pg g# #$ # $^ ^S`Q `QS\b S\b \bbOUS \ US^ ^] ^]W\ ^ \bba \ a asset apartment property acquisition eV eVW VWQV QVb`O QV QV b``O b` O\aZ \a ObS \a \aZ bS Saa aW W\b] \b]O O O# O # S S SQ]\ Q]\ Q ]\ ]\][W \] ][W ][ [ Q` Q``Sbc S `\ Sb `\ `\ ventures also attests to the Kadish team’s capabilities.

Still, executives at both AIMCO and Equity Residential are more optimistic about the profitability prospects ahead than they were when their portfolios exceeded 225,000 units. AIMCO’s portfolio, now at about 111,000 (No. 7), is half the size it was a half-decade back. And Equity Residential, at just under 130,000 (No. 5), has shed roughly 100,000 units since its portfolio peak. Meanwhile, the recapitalized taxcredit syndicator now known as Centerline Capital Group has seen its portfolio shrink even further, from a peak of some 325,000 units down to 152,600 at yearend (but No. 2, nonetheless). Some noteworthy trends, at least in part stemming from the recession, are apparently prompting some of the biggest publicly traded apartment owneroperators to right-size. REITs, in particular, in recent years have generally concluded that efficiencies of scale have limits. Yes, bulk buying power can generate discounts on supplies and services, but it doesn’t improve profitability as much as a portfolio focused on product offerings and markets where management boasts competitive expertise. “Over the past few years, we’ve significantly streamlined and refocused” the company and its portfolio, longtime AIMCO Chairman/CEO Terry Considine stressed during the company’s latest quarterly conference call. Like many other large apartment REITs, AIMCO has sold many of its communities with an eye toward focusing on its core markets and strongest properties, added Executive Vice President John Bezzant. Likewise, Equity Residential’s portfolio continued shrinking last year in terms of units owned, but the quality improved via strategic dispositions and investments, said CEO David Neithercut. Equity Residential acquired nearly 4,500 units for combined consideration of about $1.5 billion during the year, while also selling another 7,171 apartments — primarily non-strategic assets in non-core markets — for a total of $718.4 million. As Neithercut also noted, many REITs facing large-scale secured and unsecured debt maturities sold properties to raise cash and shore up balance sheets during 2008 and 2009, particularly when credit markets were so dysfunctional. While that became less of an issue for many REITs a year ago as credit conditions improved, the impact is that prior strategic moves improved balance sheets as portfolios shrank, as AIMCO’s Considine is quick to point out. “Recourse debt was largely eliminated, costs were lowered, near-term maturities were reduced, and liquidity and capacity were increased.” The quest to deleverage was clearly more pronounced among public companies and appears to have pulled many private tax-credit syndicators to the top of the nation’s roster of largest apartment owners, observes Jeff Goldstein, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Boston Capital, the reigning top owner with just under 159,000 units. Private syndicators just don’t face the kinds of shareholder pressures public REITs do to de-lever and meet quarterly financial targets through active dispositions, he adds: “We can be far more patient.” Indeed, affordable-housing specialists, primarily tax-credit syndicators, now hold the top four slots, and six of the top eight. David Neithercut President and CEO of Equity Residential Jeff Goldstein Executive Vice President of Boston Capital SYNDICATORS DOMINATE TOP TIER So even as the average size of the industry’s largest portfolios has generally become smaller in recent years, it’s no great surprise to Goldstein and other pros 22 NMHC 50 APRIL 2011 A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO NATIONAL REAL ESTATE INVESTOR that syndicators have come to dominate the upper tier. Even though tax-credit equity raising fell off during the recession, it became about the most reliable source of capital amid the credit crunch. Rounding out the leading quintet in addition to Equity Residential, Centerline and stalwart Boston Capital (this is the 20th straight year that Boston Capital has been in the top 10 of the NMHC 50 Owners) are No. 3 Boston Financial Investment Management, LP at about 144,500 and SunAmerica Affordable Housing, Inc. at a bit over 141,000. Several other affordable specialists also ranked among the companies experiencing the strongest growth over the course of 2010. These include No. 8 National Equity Fund, Inc., whose portfolio grew by more than 6,600 units; No. 10 Richman Group Affordable Housing Corporation (growth of more than 4,500 units); and No. 12 Alliant Capital, Ltd. (growth of nearly 5,000 units). Another reason so many syndicators top the NMHC 50 Owners list is that tax-credit compliance life-cycles tend to minimize rapid market-driven property and portfolio dispositions, notes Ken Cutillo, Boston Financial’s CEO. Investors seeking full compliance benefits need to stick with these investments for 15 years, he explains. But compliance life-cycles during certain periods can likewise end up generating growth in syndicator portfolios – as is the case today, adds Goldstein. A lot of investors coming out of expiring compliance periods stemming from the deal-heavy mid-1990s are now looking to redeploy capital into new tax-credit ventures, he explains. Despite the recessionary decline in tax-credit equity raising, capital has still flowed into affordable-housing ventures, Goldstein continues. Banks might be leery of real estate lending, but they’re still motivated by Community Reinvestment Act obligations, he elaborates. Boston Capital, Centerline Capital Group and Boston Financial Investment Management, LP have all been working on sizable new tax-credit equity funds, proceeds of which will help them augment their respective portfolios. Boston Capital closed a $305 million fund last October, and Cutillo says Boston Financial is on track to raise another $250 million to $300 million this year.

Property Management START-UP SYNDICATORS COMPETE Meanwhile, the recapitalized, publicly traded Centerline in mid-February closed its latest nearly $120 million multi-investor fund. The syndication arena is returning from its lull – and has attracted a few start-up syndicators adding to the competition for investors and qualifying investments, observes investor Andrew Farkas, who heads the group that acquired a 40 percent stake in Centerline last year. Another hard-to-ignore trend emerging among the nation’s largest apartment owners: notwithstanding the portfolio shrinkage among the very largest players, holdings among the balance of the NMHC 50 have clearly APRIL 2011 Seattle Boston Investment Management Development & Construction Chicago Asset Management Washington D.C.

Indeed, a half-decade back, only half the companies ranked No. 11 through No. 20 could boast 50,000 or more units. Today they all can. Likewise, No. 21 through No. 30 owned roughly 33,000 to 43,000 apartments. Today the comparables are 41,000 to 50,000. Nine of the 10 from No. 31 through No. 40 held 30,000 or fewer units five years ago; today nine of the 10 own 30,000 or more. And none of the companies ranked No. 41 through No. 50 owned more than 23,000 apartments five years ago. Today they hold between 24,000 and 29,000, roughly. As for those public REITs formerly holding the top slot, their respective leaders see more productive days ahead – but not necessarily larger portfolios. Considine reiterated that AIMCO’s brain trust continues striving to squeeze better operating margins out of the right-sized portfolio. “Our conventional same-store operating margin actually improved during the Great Recession to better than 61 percent,” he said. Added Bezzant: “We are recycling capital through the portfolio, and we have aggressively focused (on) selling off the bottom of the portfolio.” At Equity Residential, Neithercut stressed that as the company looks to grow again through offensive-minded development ventures and strategic acquisitions, the management team won’t hesitate to sell additional seasoned holdings if offers are compelling. Dispositions, in fact, will likely exceed acquisitions this year: with guidance calling for some $1.25 billion of the former compared to $1 billion of the latter. As for AIMCO’s plans: “We see more attractive investment opportunities within our existing portfolio,” concludes Considine.
