Value-Add Thesis

Why Topanga?

Portland Class B/C assets are trading at a discount as institutional capital pivots to coastal markets. Topanga carries rents 17% below market — typical for properties where ownership hasn't been active. The renovation scope is modest: unit turnover and selective capex unlocks the full rent premium without over-improving for the submarket.

Market Context

Portland metro vacancy has stabilized below 5%. Rent growth of 3–4% annually is the baseline; the workout accelerates that curve. Current ownership vacancy drift and deferred maintenance are masking the true NOI — $105K NOI lift is conservative given the $250/unit gap.
