Value Add and Opportunistic Investments
Development and Redevelopment
Aimco generally seeks development and redevelopment opportunities where barriers to entry are high, target customers can be clearly defined, and Aimco has a comparative advantage over others in the market. Aimco's value add and opportunistic investments may also target portfolio acquisitions, operational turnarounds, and re-entitlements.
As of March 31, 2024, Aimco had three active development multifamily projects located in two
During the first quarter, Aimco invested
- In Upper Northwest Washington D.C., construction at Upton Place is substantially complete. As of April 30, 2024, Aimco has delivered all 689 apartment homes with 112 units leased or pre-leased and 74 homes occupied, at rates ahead of our initial projections. To provide additional revenue and vibrancy during lease up, Aimco is collaborating with Placemakr for the temporary use of 150 units as short-term furnished rentals. Additionally, as of April 30, 2024, more than
82% of the project's 105K square feet of retail space had been leased, and Aimco was in final lease negotiations with, or had letters of intent from, retailers on another15% of the square footage. - In
Bethesda, Maryland , construction is progressing on plan at the first phase of Strathmore Square, which will contain 220 highly tailored apartment homes with initial delivery on track for the second half of 2024. - In
Corte Madera, California , construction is ongoing at Oak Shore where 16 luxury single-family rental homes and eight accessory dwelling units are being developed.

$1 million South Florida and on the Anschutz Medical Campus inAurora, Colorado . Consistent with Aimco's capital allocation strategy, it may choose to monetize certain of these assets prior to vertical construction in an effort to maximize value add and risk-adjusted returns.
Investment & Disposition Activity
Aimco is focused on prudently allocating capital and delivering strong investment returns. Consistent with Aimco's capital allocation philosophy, it monetizes the value within its assets when accretive uses of the proceeds are identified and invests when the risk-adjusted returns are superior to other uses of capital.
- In the first quarter, Aimco, along with CBRE serving as sales broker, brought to market a two-property waterfront assemblage located in
Miami , Florida. The properties include 1001 Brickell Bay Drive, a 605K gross square foot office building and 1111 Brickell Bay Drive (aka Yacht Club Apartments), a 357-unit multifamily asset. Combined, the 4.25-acre site can accommodate 3.1 million gross square feet of development, nearly 2.5 times the size of the current improvements. Additionally, during the second quarter 2024, Aimco plans to market for sale TheHamilton , its recently completed waterfront redevelopment inMiami's Edgewater neighborhood. If pricing and terms are acceptable, Aimco plans to close on these dispositions by the end of 2024.

Commitment to Enhance Stockholder Value
The Aimco Board of Directors, in coordination with management, remains intently focused on maximizing and unlocking value for Aimco stockholders and continues to engage regularly with several leading advisory firms, including Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC.
Aimco's announced plans to reduce exposure to development activity and monetize certain assets represent a commitment to simplify the portfolio and unlock embedded value when there are opportunities to do so. These efforts will further improve Aimco's positioning in the market and provide increased flexibility as the Board of Directors continues its review and consideration of broader strategic actions to maximize stockholder value. In addition, in conjunction with our contemplated asset sales, we will prioritize return of capital to our stockholders as a key component of our capital allocation philosophy.
