Discussion Points:

1- Founded in 2010, OneWall Partners is a vertically integrated owner operator of workforce housing in the northeast (Boston to D.C.). The firm has been invested solely in this niche since 2013 and focuses primarily on class B properties that are affordable to residents making 60-120% of area median income. Target assets are in proximity to diverse employment centers typically anchored by education, medicine and/or government jobs.

2- OneWall Partners currently owns more than 4,000 apartments in 39 communities worth $600mm. OneWall’s properties are located in NJ and PA and we are actively pursuing assets in D.C., Connecticut and upstate NY. The current pipeline of potential opportunities exceeds $500mm.

3 – OneWall Partners has generated net IRRs equal to or greater than 15%, since 2013. A detailed track record of realized returns is in presentation materials.

4 – OneWall Partners is currently in the market with a preferred equity fund, Nova Appian Preferred Income Fund I. This is OneWall Partner’s first fund offering. The fund’s target return is 11-13% net of fees and has a preferred return hurdle of 9-10%. The expected term of the fund is 5 years and fees are efficient at only 1% for management and 20% carried interested over the hurdle. The preferred fund is expected to be diversified across 8-15 assets and has already invested $8.2mm in a PA acquisition sponsored by OneWall.

5 – OneWall is focused on partnering with sophisticated investors that are interested in workforce housing in the northeast. OneWall is interested in providing investors with attractive investment opportunities and structures within our workforce housing strategy – i.e. preferred equity, JV opportunities, and common equity.
