Potomac, MD — August 19, 2025 — Foulger Pratt, a privately owned real estate development and investment firm, in partnership with PCCP, LLC and Tryline Capital, has acquired 1,110 units across three multifamily communities from AvalonBay Communities, a publicly traded REIT. This marks the first phase of a four-property portfolio acquisition, with an additional 138 units scheduled to close in the coming weeks. The acquisition strengthens Foulger Pratt’s presence in the Washington, DC market, bringing the firm’s portfolio to 2,904 multifamily units in the District of Columbia and 7,755 multifamily units nationwide.

The newly acquired portfolio totals 1,110 units built between 2003 and 2018. As of August 2025, the properties were 95% leased. Foulger Pratt plans to undertake a comprehensive value-add program, including targeted renovations and active asset management strategies designed to enhance both resident experience and long-term value. 

“This portfolio acquisition fits within our strategy of acquiring high quality multifamily assets in great locations at significant discounts to replacement cost ,” said Joe Clauser, Chief Financial Officer. “We have long believed in the strength and resilience of the Washington, DC market, and with new supply tapering off, we see significant opportunities for rent growth and long-term value creation.”

“We believe this transaction represents an opportunity to secure institutional-quality multifamily product in some of Washington, D.C.’s highest barrier to entry neighborhoods at a meaningful discount to recent trades,” said Lia Barsanti, Vice President at PCCP. “With market fundamentals in D.C. rebounding and minimal new supply coming online, we believe these assets are well positioned to benefit from strong rental demand. PCCP is proud to partner with experienced local operators like Foulger-Pratt who share our commitment to executing on this vision.”
