Elme Communities (ELME) reports progress on its previously announced sale of Riverside Apartments, a 1,222‑unit community in Alexandria, Virginia, and related undeveloped land. Elme’s subsidiary agreed to sell the property to FPA Multifamily, LLC for a contract sale price of $250.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments.
The inspection period expired on August 20, 2026, and the remaining $2.0 million installment of the earnest money deposit has been funded, bringing the aggregate earnest money to $4.0 million, now nonrefundable except for specified events such as seller breach or material casualty. The agreement provides for closing no later than September 14, 2026, and Elme currently expects the sale to close on that date, while cautioning there is no assurance all conditions will be satisfied. Elme also reiterates broader risks related to its Plan of Sale and Liquidation and repayment of its $520.0 million senior secured term loan from remaining property sales.
Elme Communities completed the sale of Elme Bethesda, a 193‑unit multifamily community in Bethesda, Maryland, on August 11, 2026. The property was sold for a purchase price of $58.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments, under a purchase and sale agreement with an assignee of CAPREIT Acquisition Corporation.
Pro forma figures show estimated net proceeds of $55.206 million, of which $52.446 million were used to repay a portion of the company’s senior secured term loan, leaving $2.760 million of net cash proceeds. On a liquidation-basis pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 2026, income-producing property declines by $58,000 thousand and debt payable declines by $52,446 thousand, while net assets in liquidation remain at $167,656 thousand.
The Bethesda sale follows a broader wind‑down strategy. Elme previously sold a 19‑property Cortland Portfolio for an aggregate contract sale price of $1.606 billion, repaid and terminated several major credit facilities and notes, and entered into a new $520.0 million senior secured term loan. By June 30, 2026, six additional properties had been sold for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $294 million, and a shareholder‑approved Plan of Sale and Liquidation governs the remaining dispositions.
Elme Communities advanced its Plan of Sale and Liquidation. A subsidiary agreed to sell Riverside Apartments, a 1,222‑unit community in Alexandria, Virginia, plus related land for $250.0 million, with closing targeted by September 14, 2026, subject to an inspection period, deposits and customary conditions. The Elme Bethesda sale agreement was amended to require closing no later than August 11, 2026.
In 2026 the company has sold six properties for aggregate gross proceeds of about $294 million, and its four remaining properties are under contract for about $418 million in expected gross proceeds. After paying an initial liquidating distribution of $14.67 per share, Elme currently estimates additional liquidating distributions of $1.74–$1.94 per share, for total liquidating distributions of $16.41–$16.61 per share, based on assumptions about sale prices, costs, repayment of a $520 million senior secured term loan and completion of the wind‑down in 2026.
Elme Communities reports termination of a major property sale and updates its liquidation plan. A buyer terminated the $280 million purchase agreement for Riverside Apartments, a 1,222‑unit community in Alexandria, Virginia, so the company refunded the buyer’s earnest money and has restarted marketing the property.
The company has completed the sale of Elme Watkins Mill, using net proceeds to repay part of its $520 million term loan, which has a $251 million balance as of June 24, 2026. Three other properties—Elme Bethesda, The Kenmore and 3801 Connecticut Avenue—are under purchase and sale agreements for aggregate gross proceeds of $168 million, including a $58 million price for Elme Bethesda, all subject to customary closing conditions.
Because the Riverside sale fell through and market conditions in the D.C. area remain soft, Elme is withdrawing its previously disclosed estimated ranges of liquidating distributions and timing expectations for New York Stock Exchange delisting and company dissolution, and now targets completing remaining sales, delisting and dissolution as expeditiously as possible in the third or fourth quarter of 2026.
Elme Communities, through subsidiary Elme Bethesda Owner LLC, has signed a purchase and sale agreement to sell Elme Bethesda, a 193‑unit community in Bethesda, Maryland, for a contract sale price of $59.0 million, subject to customary prorations and adjustments. The Buyer, CAPREIT Acquisition Corporation, must provide a total earnest money deposit of $1 million, funded in two $500,000 installments, with the full deposit becoming nonrefundable after an inspection period that expires on June 3, 2026 unless extended. Closing is scheduled for no later than the later of July 9, 2026 or 10 business days after obtaining a compliance certificate related to Montgomery County’s right of first refusal, and the company cautions there is no assurance the sale will be completed on the anticipated terms or timeline.
Elme Communities provided a detailed update on its planned liquidation. The company has sold five properties in 2026 for gross proceeds of about $252.7 million and has signed purchase and sale agreements to sell four of its remaining five properties for about $431.3 million, subject to closing conditions.
After paying an initial liquidating distribution of $14.67 per share in January 2026, Elme now estimates additional liquidating distributions of $2.07–$2.35 per share, for a total of $16.74–$17.02 per share, based on about 88.9 million fully diluted shares. The updated range is slightly below the prior estimate, mainly due to lower expected sale prices for certain D.C.-area properties and modestly higher costs.
Elme reports a remaining Term Loan balance of $288.5 million, down from an original $520 million, which it plans to repay with proceeds from remaining asset sales. The company continues to target completing all property sales by mid-2026, with NYSE delisting, transfer of assets to a liquidating trust, and dissolution expected in the third quarter of 2026, subject to board discretion and transaction timing.
Elme Communities reported several steps in its ongoing wind-down and liquidation. Two trustees, Ellen M. Goitia and Ron D. Sturzenegger, plan to resign after the filing of the 2025 Form 10-K as the Board adjusts its size for the liquidation process. The company approved new retention agreements for its four executive officers, replacing prior change-in-control and employment arrangements and providing lump-sum or installment retention payments if they remain through defined dates or are involuntarily terminated.
The Board adopted a new short-term incentive plan for key executives that ties bonuses to three goals: additional liquidating distributions to shareholders (with a target of $3.20 per share), timing of remaining asset sales (target completion by July 31, 2026), and operational metrics supporting the Plan of Sale and Liquidation. Elme also announced that CFO Steven Freishtat will step down after the 2025 Form 10-K, with W. Drew Hammond becoming Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. As of January 23, 2026, Elme has agreements to sell three of its ten remaining properties for approximately $155 million and updated its estimated liquidating distributions based on expected property sale proceeds, term loan repayment, costs, and reserves.
ELME Communities filed a Form 8-K to furnish information about a press release issued on November 25, 2025 announcing an initial special liquidating distribution. The disclosure is made under Regulation FD, meaning the company is sharing this information broadly with the market at the same time. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1, while Exhibit 104 is the cover page interactive data file embedded in the Inline XBRL document.
Elme Communities has filed updated pro forma financials reflecting its previously completed sale of Echo Sub LLC, which held 19 multifamily properties, for an aggregate contract sale price of $1.606 billion in cash, subject to customary adjustments. After this portfolio sale, Elme now owns 10 remaining properties that are expected to be sold under a Plan of Sale and Liquidation approved by shareholders on October 30, 2025. On November 12, 2025, Elme used the sale proceeds to repay or discharge all obligations under its revolving credit facility, term loan and private placement notes, and to fully defease its 7.25% senior notes due 2028. The company simultaneously entered into a new senior secured term loan of $520.0 million secured by the 10 remaining properties, and its pro forma statements show larger net losses driven mainly by property dispositions, debt extinguishment and related costs, alongside suspension of future regular quarterly dividends.
ELME Communities reported a leadership change and workforce update aligned with its wind‑down plan. On November 10, 2025, the Company and Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer Susan Gerock agreed to a mutual separation. She resigned from all roles effective November 14, 2025 and entered into a Separation Agreement providing severance consistent with her Change in Control Agreement: 24 months of base salary continuation, annual bonus payments during that period based on her prior three‑year average (pro‑rated for partial years), and up to 18 months of COBRA premiums paid by the Company, subject to a seven‑day revocation period and standard terms.
In connection with its previously disclosed plan of sale and liquidation following the portfolio sale of 19 multifamily assets, the Company continues to reduce headcount. As of November 14, 2025, ELME has approximately 117 employees, including about 73 in community management.
Elme Communities closed the sale of a large multifamily portfolio for $1.606 billion in cash to affiliates of Cortland Partners. Simultaneously, the company put in place a new $520.0 million senior secured term loan with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, collateralized by Elme’s 10 remaining properties. Elme used closing proceeds to fully repay its revolving credit facility, a prior term loan, and private placement notes without material early termination penalties.
The company also initiated the redemption of $50 million of 7.25% senior notes due 2028, funding the trustee and satisfying and discharging the related indenture. The new term loan matures on November 9, 2026, with a one‑year extension option; interest is one‑month term SOFR (floor 3.00%) plus a spread that starts at 2.25%, steps to 2.75% in month 7, and to 4.00% in month 19 if extended. Elme purchased a rate cap that limits SOFR to 5.00%. Cash management requires property cash flows to sweep through lender‑controlled accounts to cover taxes, insurance, debt service, reserves, and budgeted capex before excess distributions.
Elme Communities announced shareholder approval of two transformative actions: the sale of 19 multifamily properties to affiliates of Cortland Partners and a Plan of Sale and Liquidation to wind down the company. The Plan of Sale and Liquidation became effective on October 30, 2025.
Shareholders cast 69,957,321 votes, representing 79.4% of shares entitled to vote. The Portfolio Sale Proposal passed with 69,556,485 For, 221,508 Against, and 179,328 Abstain. The Liquidation Proposal passed with 69,545,165 For, 228,139 Against, and 184,017 Abstain. A non-binding Compensation Proposal also passed with 64,874,855 For, 4,908,498 Against, and 173,968 Abstain.
Closing of the Portfolio Sale Transaction is expected on or about November 12, 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions.
ELME Communities filed an 8-K announcing it has furnished a press release and supplemental information covering earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The materials are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and were furnished under Item 2.02 (Results of Operations and Financial Condition) and Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure). The company notes these materials are being furnished and are not deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
Elme Communities (NYSE: ELME) has executed a definitive Purchase & Sale Agreement to dispose of all equity in 19 multifamily communities for $1.605 billion cash, subject to customary adjustments. The buyer group is CEVF VI Capitol Holdings and an affiliate; the transaction carries no financing condition and has an outside closing date of 31 Jan 2026.
Key commercial terms
- Board unanimously recommends the deal; majority shareholder approval required.
- Termination fees: Trust pays $37.5 m (or $27.5 m if a superior bid signed by 31 Aug 2025); buyer pays $100 m for specified breaches.
- One D.C. asset may be delayed or excluded if regulatory notifications extend.
- Buyer furnished committed equity & debt financing; affiliate provided limited guarantee.
Concurrently, the board adopted a Plan of Sale & Liquidation allowing complete wind-down, settlement of liabilities and distribution of residual cash. Implementation also needs shareholder consent but is not contingent on the portfolio sale.
To fund interim needs, ELME obtained a commitment from Goldman Sachs Bank USA for a $520 m secured term loan (up to $565 m if the delayed property is excluded), one-year tenor with a one-year extension option.
The transactions mark a strategic exit from operating assets and could unlock significant proceeds for investors, yet execution depends on regulatory clearances, market conditions and the shareholder vote.
