Augusta Portfolio is a 416-unit, two-property Class B multifamily acquisition opportunity in Augusta, Georgia, comprising Stevens Creek Commons, with 256 units, and Marks Church Commons, with 160 units. Both garden-style communities were built in the late 1980s and are being acquired at approximately $115K per unit, which management believes represents a meaningful discount to recent comparable sales averaging approximately $152K per unit, based on available market data.
The portfolio is sponsored by Buligo Capital in partnership with Graycliff Capital and is being acquired through GrayBul Augusta, LP, with a value-add business plan targeting interior unit upgrades, operational efficiencies, and mark-to-market rent capture over a targeted 7-year hold period.
Why This Opportunity
Discounted cost basis: Acquired at approximately $115K per unit, with total capitalization of approximately $128K per unit including capital, transaction costs, and reserves, representing a meaningful discount to the $152K per unit weighted average across recent Augusta comparable sales, based on available market data.
Capital already invested: Nearly $6M has been deployed across both properties over the past eight years, including more than $3M since 2022 on major exterior items such as new roofs, siding, paint, asphalt, and signage. This is expected to allow new ownership to focus primarily on interior upgrades and operational improvements.
Identified value-add plan: The portfolio currently consists of 111 classic units, 146 partially upgraded units, and 159 fully upgraded units. The business plan targets renovating all classic units and approximately half of the partially upgraded units with a modernized finish package, including LVP flooring, stainless steel appliances, and upgraded fixtures.
Potential mark-to-market upside: In-place rents are currently below management's estimate of market rents, with recent trade-out momentum of 3.5% at Stevens Creek and 1.6% at Marks Church prior to the planned renovation program.
Limited near-term supply in the submarket: Only approximately 480 units are currently under construction in the metro area, representing approximately 1.5% of inventory. New infill development is concentrated in Downtown Augusta and North Augusta and generally targets a higher-price tenant base, while the portfolio serves a workforce-oriented garden apartment segment.
Current in-place operations: The properties have maintained approximately 92%–93% occupancy in 2025, providing in-place cash flow at acquisition, subject to normal operating and market risks.
Employment anchors: The Augusta market benefits from major regional employers and institutions, including Fort Gordon, Augusta University, and the area's healthcare network.
Experienced operator partnership: Buligo and Graycliff have partnered on more than 65 transactions, including three multifamily transactions in the Augusta MSA, one of which was sold in 2025.
Targeted returns: The investment targets a 16.4% investor IRR and a 2.6x equity multiple over a 7-year hold period, with targeted cash-on-cash distributions increasing from 6.0% in Year 1 to 9.6% in Year 5. These are forward-looking targets only and are not guaranteed. Actual results may differ materially from underwriting assumptions.

Transitioning from current ownership-managed operations to a nationally recognized third-party property management firm.
Implementing a centralized management platform and integrated technology intended to support staffing, maintenance, and vendor efficiencies across both assets.
Executing an interior renovation program, including LVP flooring, stainless steel appliances, and upgraded fixtures, through a retained general contractor.
