Marcus Partners Acquires Aventon Nora in Raleigh

Residential Complex Marks Investor’s Second North Carolina Investment

Marcus Partners, a real estate investment, management, and development firm, has acquired Aventon Nora, a 372-unit, Class A apartment community in North Raleigh, North Carolina. This is the firm's second multifamily investment in the Raleigh-Durham market and expands the portfolio of its new Southeast Regional office.

“As we continue our Southeast expansion, this asset aligns well with our strategy of acquiring newer properties below replacement cost in high-growth markets,” said Casey Barber, SVP of Marcus Partners. “Aventon Nora presents a high-quality product in a desirable location for our second purchase in North Carolina. Despite near-term supply pressures, we have high conviction in Raleigh given its strong job and population growth, favorable demographic trends, and business-friendly environment.”

Built in 2024, Aventon Nora is situated in the North Raleigh submarket, one of the highest-demand multifamily submarkets in the Raleigh-Durham area. Located close to North Hills, the region's premier mixed-use district, and less than 20 minutes from downtown Raleigh, the community also offers a high level of convenience with easy access to transit and essential retail.

Consisting of four residential buildings with 1, 2 and 3-bedroom units, along with carriage-style units with attached garages, Aventon Nora offers some of the most desired amenities in the market including a resort-style pool with cabanas, a fitness center with yoga studio, and a two-story clubhouse with enclosed workspaces. Apartment interiors feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, smart thermostats, and island seating.

The asset was acquired directly from the developer and is currently 96% occupied, with a resident base anchored by the technology, health care, and business services sectors that drive the region's economy. The sale was brokered by Sean Wood and John Munroe of Newmark.
