Another Origin Win: 40% IRR and a 2.6x Multiple

Arium-North-Point

Origin recently sold Arium North Point, an apartment complex located in Atlanta, for $26.75 million, almost double the $14.1 million purchase price. Our investors in Origin Funds I and II achieved a 2.6x gross multiple and an annualized internal rate of return of more than 40% over the roughly 3 ½-year hold period.

When Arium was purchased in December 2012, Origin projected a 16.5% gross IRR and a 1.95x gross multiple over a 5-year hold. We beat our original IRR projection by more than 240%. We beat the multiple by more than 33%. And we executed the business plan 30% faster than we’d projected. At Origin, we have a saying, “Projections are always wrong.” What really defines one investment manager over another is the direction in which it is wrong. As of this article’s writing, 96% of our fund investments have outperformed pro forma. Origin Funds I and II have benefited greatly from our expertise and disciplined risk-management practices.
