Description

Michel Commercial is pleased to present Southgate Apartments, a 244-home market-rate community spanning 14.95 acres in Bloomington, Minnesota. Featuring one- and two-bedroom floor plans with underground parking, the property has maintained consistently high occupancy (96%). With meaningful rental upside through interior upgrades, limited new supply, and historically low vacancy in the submarket, Southgate is well positioned for significant NOI growth. Southgate presents meaningful upside potential, with rental increases averaging $153 per unit per month through targeted interior upgrades. New ownership also has the opportunity to expand the Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS), aligning reimbursements with actual usage. This proven strategy—already adopted by many renovated properties in the Bloomington submarket—reduces expenses and further strengthens NOI.

Location

Southgate offers excellent connectivity and access to major job centers, with direct links to I-494 and I-35W providing quick commutes to Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding employment hubs. Residents also benefit from nearby transit, the Mall of America, MSP Airport, and major employers supporting demand from a wide range of retail, healthcare, technology, logistics, and corporate sectors.

Highlights

Value-Add Opportunity
Offering an opportunity for substantial rent growth potential through interior upgrades with the opportunity to take advantage of an estimated $153/unit average monthly premium on rents. The Bloomington submarket has recently experienced multiple properties undergo extensive renovations. These renovated units were quickly absorbed by the market and have increased the average rents in the area.

Strong Occupancy
Southgate Apartments has a strong history of occupancy, delivering consistent and predictable income. Current occupancy stands at 96%, reflecting the sustained demand for quality housing in the Bloomington submarket.

Broader Implementation of RUBS
New ownership has the opportunity to expand the Ratio Utility Billing System (RUBS), aligning reimbursements more closely with actual usage. This approach, already adopted by most renovated properties in the Bloomington submarket, significantly reduces expenses and further strengthens NOI.

Supply-Constrained Submarket
Bloomington’s multifamily market reflects steady renter demand and limited new construction. Deliveries have slowed since 2022 and vacancy has tightened. With minimal new supply expected, existing communities like the Southgate Apartments are positioned to benefit from ongoing demand, strong occupancy, and solid rent growth.
