Overview

Ginkgo Residential LLC (“Ginkgo”) is pleased to present the Kimmerly Glen Recapitalization, an opportunity to invest alongside Ginkgo in a proven, income-generating multifamily community located in East Charlotte, NC.

Ginkgo has owned and managed Kimmerly Glen since 2014, completing major capital projects including a new roof (2024), pool renovation, and interior upgrades in 231 units.

Ginkgo is offering select investors the opportunity to invest in a preferred equity position—providing downside protection with participation in future appreciation. The recapitalization allows Ginkgo to refinance senior debt, complete the remaining renovation program. The total preferred equity position at $8 MM represents a 72% loan-to-cost (LTC) and $138,030 per door on a last dollar basis for the investor. Initial allocation for this offering is $3 million, with the remaining $5 million of preferred equity may be placed through alternative sales channels.

While Ginkgo REIT investors already benefit from exposure to this asset, this recapitalization represents a strategic rebalancing following the successful execution of the original business plan and the orderly exit of an institutional partner whose fund has reached maturity. This opportunity allows new investors to step into a stabilized, cash-flowing asset alongside Ginkgo under attractive terms.
