Troubled Connecticut property hits the market
Following its bankruptcy filing last year, the 210-unit Covered Bridge complex in Newtown, Connecticut, is now on the market.
The ownership groups — Covered Bridge, Newtown LLC and Covered Bridge, Newtown 1 LLC — has contracted with Keen-Summit Capital Partners, a Melville, New York-based real estate brokerage, workout and investment banking firm, to find a buyer for the property or a provider of joint venture funding or refinancing.
"We are soliciting offers to purchase the property or proposals for an alternative transaction, such as a joint venture or refinance, so our client can assess the best option and present to the bankruptcy court for approval,' Matthew Bordwin, principal and co-president of Keen-Summit Capital Partners, told Multifamily Dive
The Covered Bridge complex was built during the COVID-19 pandemic, which meant the developers had to deal with material delays, inflation and eventually high interest rates, ultimately pushing the project into bankruptcy, according to Bordwin.
'This property, as a standalone real estate investment, is not distressed,' Bordwin said.
The Covered Bridge complex contains seven three-story buildings, each offering a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. It has 168 market-rate units and 42 affordable units, restricted to 80% of the area median income, with rents controlled for a period of 30 years. It has a clubhouse with a fitness center, community room and an adjacent pool.
'There are six buildings online, and they've got a high level of occupancy,' Bordwin said. 'There's a seventh building that's 80% complete. The issue has been a dispute with a lender, and that's really the basis of what put them in a position where they had to file for bankruptcy because they couldn't refinance.'
Bordwin said he's seen a number of 'flawed capital stack' issues at newer apartment properties that don't resemble traditional distressed real estate.
'There were a lot of multifamily projects during the pandemic that experienced cost overruns and delays,' Bordwin said. 'That, combined with the higher interest rate lending requirements, particularly on new construction, has been a main driver of a lot of the stress that we're seeing in the multifamily sector.'

Power equipment maker Hubbell raises annual profit forecast on strong data center demand
(Reuters) -Electrical equipment maker Hubbell raised its full-year profit forecast on Tuesday, betting on strong demand for products used by data centers needed for artificial intelligence. The development of data centers is a crucial step in building key infrastructure required for tackling complex tasks employed by generative AI. The Connecticut-based company, which makes and sells products including wiring and lighting systems, expects 2025 adjusted profit to be between $17.65 and $18.15 per share, compared with its earlier forecast of $17.35 to $17.85 per share. Net sales in its electrical solutions segment, which sells wiring devices and other electrical products, rose 4% during the second quarter, "driven by strength in data center markets". Its utility solutions segment posted net sales increase of 1%. That was aided by 7% growth in the power grid infrastructure end-markets, which offset a decline in sales for grid automation products during the quarter. The company's total net sales for quarter ended June 30 was $1.48 billion, up 2.2% from a year earlier. Analysts on average estimated $1.51 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. It posted an adjusted profit of $4.93 per share, compared with the estimate of $4.41 per share.
