The National Real Estate Investment Firm’s Q3 Activity Includes Eight Transactions and a New Fund with $5.5B in Total Buying Power

ATLANTA – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

CARROLL, an Atlanta-based national real estate investment firm, today released its third-quarter report highlighting strong performance throughout the year despite a challenging economic backdrop. In the third quarter, CARROLL continued to take advantage of the current environment by disposing of six assets while acquiring two, with dispositions now totaling $2.2 billion for 2022 and acquisitions totaling $1.3 billion. As the market recalibrates, these transactions reflect the Firm’s conviction to exit individual properties, as well as the confidence to continue acquiring and developing in these same core Sun Belt markets.

In wake of Hurricane Ian’s destructive path through Florida, CARROLL stands with all those individuals who were impacted by the historic storm, especially those who are residents or team members at CARROLL’s 43 communities across the state. In conjunction with rebuilding efforts, CARROLL is commencing blood drives and taking donations to help those affected by the storm. “Despite the severity and still emerging effects, we want to shine a light on our amazing communities, such as our ARIUM Citrus Run residents who were out at 5AM Thursday morning working to assist the crews and community leaders to clear their local streets,” said David Perez, President and COO for CARROLL. “These Florida communities that have been impacted are extremely resilient, and we feel blessed to be able to serve them and our broader communities alongside them.”

“As CARROLL continues to evolve in the midst of global economic uncertainty, I am continually impressed by the performance from our team of 750+ employees across the country,” said Patrick Carroll, founder and CEO of CARROLL. “2022 is a year in which our company is proudly reinvesting in key growth drivers, setting the stage for both short-term and long-term success. Despite the industry bracing for a downturn, I remain confident in CARROLL’s future because we have proven successful in any climate.”

Transactions and Portfolio Performance

From July to September, the Firm executed eight transactions across five states – two acquisitions and six dispositions – totaling $868.4 million in transaction volume. The two acquisitions, both communities in South Florida, bring CARROLL’s units under management in Florida to nearly 15,000. Year-to-date, CARROLL has acquired a total of 14 properties, amounting to 4,720 units. Notably, 58 percent of CARROLL’s 2022 acquisitions are in Florida, a key Southeast Sun Belt market and a state CARROLL first entered in April 2013. 

CARROLL’s six dispositions included a four-property portfolio of nearly 1,500 units in some of the best performing sub-markets in the Atlanta Metro area. Another exit, a 520-unit community in Carrollton, Texas, represented the final asset from a portfolio CARROLL acquired in 2017, accounting for more than 1,100 total units. During the five-year hold, CARROLL and its partners successfully executed amenity upgrades as part of a value-add strategy, elevating the competitiveness of the asset amidst the rapid growth of the Dallas Fort-Worth MSA. 

As in Q2, CARROLL’s third-party management solutions, led by Rob Gayle, Vice President of Business Development, continued its growth, acquiring three new third-party assignments representing more than 1,000 units. Year-to-date, the Firm has added more than 2,500 units across three states, reflecting the quality of the CARROLL property management platform as well as the respect it has amongst property owners. CARROLL expects continued growth in the fourth quarter with several new assignment deals pending, including a property lease-up in Atlanta. 

Prioritizing Philanthropy and ESG 

To coincide with the start of a new school year, CEO Patrick Carroll donated $100,000 worth of sneakers to 600 youth members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, surprising the children with a pizza party, t-shirts, a DJ, and a live painting by a local artist commemorating the charitable event. CARROLL plans to bring Kicks for Kids to other cities across the United States. In addition to helping out at the first Kicks for Kids event in Miami, employees across the U.S. donated a total of 130 hours of volunteer time to local organizations and causes in support of the CARROLL Community Impact Program.

As part of the Firm’s commitment to ESG, CARROLL formalized its ESG committee, which will serve as a review and selection group to further the Firm’s ESG goals and to streamline its processes. Current projects include reviewing and selecting social programs for partnerships that align with company values, implementing a standardized utility data collection process and platform, and overseeing the addition of smart technology to reduce environmental impact.

Investing in Residents 

CARROLL’s multifamily brand, ARIUM, concluded its 20-week brand campaign, reaching three million renters across the country. The campaign included a 13-week singing competition called Sounds of Summer, which was a massive endeavor that showcased user-generated content submitted by approximately 200 ARIUM residents. In addition to the content from the residents, ARIUM partnered with influencers who judged the singers in new episodes that dropped weekly via Facebook Live. More than 140 watch parties were held across the U.S., allowing on-site teams and residents to share in the journey of their neighbors, fostering a powerful sense of community among watchers and participants everywhere. 

For Sounds of Summer’s grand finale, ARIUM flew the five finalists to Atlanta – each hailing from a different ARIUM community in the U.S. – to perform on-stage in front of a live audience. Each finalist shined in the spotlight, singing in front of nearly 200 attendees, and performing a group song with Texas Hill, a trio of alums from television singing competitions. Each talented finalist walked away with free rent, AMEX vacation vouchers, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience to participate in a national singing competition hosted by ARIUM, one of the country’s leading apartment brands. Jason, a resident from an ARIUM community in Florida, was crowned the 2022 Sounds of Summer winner, winning $1,500 in cash (plus the other prizes) and received a framed golden record commemorating his achievement. Closing out the concert, David Cook, American Idol winner and platinum recording artist, performed.

Looking Ahead

Heading into Q4, CARROLL is well-positioned to find new investment opportunities that expand its portfolio and vertically integrated platform. The Firm’s ability to be nimble and execute deals in every climate is a testament to its unwavering strength. In addition to favorable market fundamentals, CARROLL’s seventh investment fund, which closed in August at more than double the size of the Firm’s prior vehicle, emboldens the company to make strategic investments despite the unknowns ahead in the marketplace.

NEW CITY, N.Y. – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

Daymond John, the founder and CEO of FUBU and co-star of ABC’s four-time Emmy Award-winning show Shark Tank has announced the third annual Black Entrepreneurs Day presented by Chase. In conjunction with Medium Rare and The Shark Group, Black Entrepreneurs Day presented by Chase is an annual celebration of Black business, aiming to empower and celebrate entrepreneurs everywhere. Focused at the intersection of Business & Entertainment, Black Entrepreneurs Day presented by Chase has quickly become one of the largest and most awarded Diversity & Inclusion events in America. Last year’s event attracted over 6.5 million viewers and won its third and fourth Webby Awards as the Best Remote Business & Finance event on the internet. This year’s free global live-stream will air on Thursday, Oct. 27, beginning at 7 p.m. ET across the Black Entrepreneurs Day website, Facebook, and more.

Black Entrepreneurs Day presented by Chase will feature Game Changer Conversations presented by The General Insurance®. The thoughtfully curated segment includes one-on-one discussions with Black businesses leaders and cultural icons including Shaquille O’Neal, Tracee Ellis Ross, Spike Lee, Venus Williams, and Killer Mike, moderated by Daymond John. Musical superstar Big Sean will cap off the evening with a live performance. All new for 2022, The Build Black with Shopify’s Pitch Competition will be a highlight of the program as budding entrepreneurs pitch their businesses live.

Since its inception, Black Entrepreneurs Day has provided guidance and inspiration to the next generation of rising entrepreneurs as well as over $500,000 in business grants via the “NAACP Powershift Entrepreneur Grant,” created by Daymond John. Black entrepreneurs and small business owners across the country can apply now for a $25,000 NAACP Powershift Entrepreneur Grant on the event website through Oct. 12, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

“Being in year three accomplishes one of my original goals of making Black Entrepreneurs Day one of the most fun D&I events of the year that brings icons of the Black community to participate in important conversations and moments. I want to thank Chase for sharing my vision to make this possible and help bring in an incredible lineup. Black Entrepreneurs Day will once again inspire, educate, learn from, and celebrate those that are hustling, pushing forward, pursuing their dreams and, in many cases, thriving. It is truly my honor to return to Harlem’s iconic Apollo Theater and bring BED to a place near and dear to my heart while ensuring audiences throughout the world can stream the show for free,” said Daymond John.

Black Entrepreneurs Day is excited to welcome its A-list guests and business leaders to the world famous Apollo Theater in Harlem in front of a live studio audience. The legendary Apollo Theater plays a vital role in cultivating emerging artists and launching legends. Since its founding in 1934, the Apollo has served as a center of innovation and a creative catalyst for Harlem, the city of New York, and the world.

“Black Entrepreneurs Day provides an invaluable resource to a community that is historically overlooked when it comes to resources and funding. It is truly economic inclusion for us, by us. As we work to improve every aspect of the Black community — from education and health to building generational wealth — we know Black entrepreneurs and an inclusive, thriving economy are key. The NAACP will continue to ensure economic growth and sustainability for Black people. For the third year, we’re looking forward to seeing the ways that Black businesses are changing the landscape in industries like tech, beauty, travel and retail, and helping them scale through the NAACP Powershift Entrepreneur Grant,” said Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP.

Black Entrepreneurs Day presented by Chase: A Celebration of Black Business Curated by Daymond John Streaming Live From the Apollo Theater, Thursday, Oct. 27

A healthy work environment and flexibility are now highly influential factors that drive jobseekers in 2022, according to a study by CareerAddict.com.

NEW YORK – October 6, 2022 – (Newswire.com)

A recent study by CareerAddict, a leading, online career resource, has uncovered the latest job search trends in today’s post-pandemic era. The ‘Shift in Worker Expectations Post-Pandemic‘ study aims to explain the elements that comprise the driving force behind the Great Resignation, a term coined by organizational psychologist Anthony Klotz to describe the high, ongoing quit rates around the world.

A significant finding of the study was that 71% of jobseekers agreed that COVID-19 changed the type of work they were looking for. Among the main reasons for this collective shift in direction were the increased desire for flexibility and concerns around health, safety, and hygiene.

As Christopher Thoma, Head of Media & Marketing at CareerAddict, stated, “Prior to the pandemic, a healthy work environment wasn’t much of a consideration for most workers. Fast forward to 2022, it’s become an incredibly important factor…”

The survey also found that 60% of employees left their jobs in search of healthier work environments. Low pay, a lack of advancement opportunities, and feeling disrespected were the top reasons for job dissatisfaction. These factors fueled the Big Quit momentum even at a time of increased uncertainty caused by COVID-19. According to the data, 41% of jobseekers were not hindered by COVID-19 in their efforts to find better opportunities.

While this was anticipated, a surprising conclusion derived from the study was that 61% of jobseekers said the opportunity to work remotely was not a job search factor for them. Unlike previous years, remote work seems to no longer be considered as an important benefit by employees. The only age group that expressed a preference were jobseekers aged between 55 and 64, with 59% stating that remote work had been a search criterion in their job search.

As the job market undergoes notable changes, companies must continuously reassess their approach to hiring. While COVID-19 caused many people to reevaluate their needs and priorities, both on a personal and professional level, good pay, a healthy work environment, and progression opportunities are now the most desirable employment factors for jobseekers.

It appears that companies that fail to reward and value their staff will not only fail to attract new talent but also lose the fight against plummeting retention rates.
