A BEST-IN-CLASS COMMUNITY ANCHORED BY EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN & IRREPLACEABLE LOCATION
Visit Doc CenterTHE OPPORTUNITY
With its superior design, entitlement driven density advantage, highly commutable location, and proven operational success, The Flats at Legacy offers investors a rare opportunity to acquire the benchmark Class A asset in one of the Peninsula’s most insulated, affluent, and supply-constrained submarkets.
Berkadia, as exclusive advisor, is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire The Flats at Legacy, Poquoson’s premier Class A multifamily community. Delivered in 2024 and positioned within one of the Peninsula’s most supply-constrained residential enclaves, the 176-unit asset combines irreplaceable location fundamentals, non-replicable density, and market-leading design to create a highly defensible, top-of-market investment opportunity. The property will be conveyed free and clear, enabling investors to implement an optimized financing strategy aligned with today’s capital markets environment.
Developed under Poquoson’s favorable PUD-MU zoning, The Flats at Legacy benefited from entitlements that allowed ownership to execute a highly efficient development program featuring 176 units across four-story buildings (≈26 units/acre)—a density and height profile that exceeds what conventional suburban zoning would permit today. This entitlement structure not only differentiates the community from its competitive set, but also insulates the asset from future replication in a submarket defined by limited developable land, stable single-family neighborhoods, and restrictive natural boundaries.
As the newest and market-leading community in Poquoson, The Flats at Legacy showcases high-end finishes, contemporary design, and a luxury-forward amenity suite that outperforms the competitive landscape. The property’s strategic infill location—surrounded by established neighborhoods and natural barriers—reinforces its competitive moat by significantly limiting new multifamily supply and supporting long-term rent stability. Coupled with Poquoson’s elite schools, low crime rates, and high household incomes, the community is primed for sustained demand and stable rent growth.
The Flats at Legacy also enjoys unmatched proximity to the Peninsula’s most influential employment nodes. Located within a 10–25-minute commute of NASA Langley, Langley AFB, Jefferson Lab, Oyster Point, Yorktown Naval Weapons Station, Newport News Shipbuilding (HII), Riverside Regional Medical Center, and PHF Airport, the property sits at the nexus of tens of thousands of high-wage aerospace, defense, engineering, research, and healthcare jobs. This rare combination of quiet residential environment and premier regional accessibility positions the asset as the preferred address for highincome renters seeking convenience without congestion or oversupply.
Operational momentum at the property is exceptional. New leases in the last 30–60 days are signing 4.8%– 5.8% above in-place rents, demonstrating ongoing elasticity and strong pricing power. With the asset now 97.7% occupied and fully stabilized, an incoming buyer has a clear opportunity to reset rents to marketleading levels and capture immediate revenue upside. High-quality construction, efficient operations, and a top-tier resident experience further reinforce the community’s long-term performance trajectory.

Investment Highlights
Unmatched Competitive Positioning as Poquoson’s Only True Class A Community
The Flats at Legacy holds a singular position within Poquoson’s 439-unit multifamily supply as the only purpose-built Class A community, representing 176 units of modern, institutional-quality housing in a submarket otherwise dominated by older Class B/C properties. Rather than relying on downtown density or urban growth corridors, the asset delivers top-tier finishes and amenities within an affluent, low-density residential pocket that remains just minutes from NASA, Langley AFB, Jefferson Lab, and the Newport News tech and medical hubs. This combination of high-end product + high-quality suburban location creates a competitive moat that cannot be replicated nearby.
Stabilized Asset with Immediate Upside
Recent lease trends show outsized momentum, with new leases signing 4.8%–5.8% above in-place rents over the last 30–60 days. With the property now 98.3% occupied and fully stabilized, a buyer has a clear opportunity to reset rents to market-leading levels and capture near-term revenue upside.
LEASE-UP VELOCITY
Deep renter demand propelled The Flats at Legacy to stabilization, averaging 14 monthly leases. Peak months exceeded 20+ leases, particularly within the larger two-bedroom product, highlighting significant demand elasticity and the submarket’s ability to absorb high-end units even without concessions.
Strategic PUD-MU Entitlement Creates Non-Replicable Market-Leading Density
The Flats at Legacy was delivered under Poquoson’s PUD-MU zoning, which enabled ownership to secure approvals for a highly efficient development program featuring 176 units (≈26 units/acre) across four-story buildings — a density and height profile that exceeds what traditional suburban zoning would typically allow in the Poquoson market. This favorable entitlement structure enhances long-term value by preventing comparable density from being replicated nearby and further solidifies The Flats at Legacy as the benchmark asset in its immediate competitive set.
Further, developed with high-end materials and a luxury-forward aesthetic, The Flats at Legacy sets the standard for Class A living in Poquoson.
Strategic Peninsula Location Supported by Elite Regional Employers
Poquoson offers investors rare access to one of the most stable and federally backed job markets in the nation – Newport News Shipbuilding, Langley AFB, and NASA Langley – while sitting inside a high-income, supply-constrained coastal pocket. This is where defense engineers, shipyard leadership, and NASA personnel choose to live because it offers privacy, quality schools, and quality of life that the neighboring cities cannot match. Demand here is strong, incomes are high, and regional job drivers are only expanding.
Top-Tier Poquoson City Public Schools
Poquoson City Public Schools (“PCPS”) is consistently ranked among Virginia’s highest-performing school districts, offering one of the state’s most academically rigorous and stable K–12 ecosystems. All zoned schools for the property—Poquoson Primary, Poquoson Elementary, Poquoson Middle, and Poquoson High—hold A to A+ ratings across every major category, including School Performance, College Readiness, School Resources, Discipline, and Overall District Characteristics.
PCPS IS WIDELY RECOGNIZED FOR:
- Top-tier statewide performance, A/A+ ratings across all grade levels
- A+ overall district grade, with standout marks in College Readiness, Teachers, and School Resources
- Exceptional academic outcomes, including A/A+ performance in core subjects
- Highly resourced campuses with A+ discipline and strong instructional quality
- A stable, highly engaged parent base, reinforcing long-term consistency and demand
- One of Virginia’s safest and most cohesive school environments
