Located within two hours of Charlotte, N.C. and four hours of Atlanta, Asheville is a thriving mountain city that offers residents and tourists access to extensive outdoor activities via the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounding national forests. Asheville continues to expand its employment base in hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing and science and technology, driving higher than national-level population growth. Retreat at Weaverville is located within one mile of Interstate 26, providing direct access to the Asheville Regional Airport and numerous retail and lifestyle amenities in downtown Asheville and the River Arts District.

“With its strong market fundamentals, multifamily remains well-positioned to weather today’s challenging economic conditions,” said Managing Director and Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund Portfolio Manager Rick Schaupp. “This particular property was an excellent opportunity to acquire a newly constructed and stabilized community in a growing submarket with compelling resident demographics. We believe Retreat will be a strong addition to the fund’s holdings as Asheville continues to attract more and more young professionals looking for the best of both city life and the great outdoors.”

Completed in 2021, Retreat sits on a 16.85-acre site and is comprised of seven three- and four-story, wood-framed residential buildings with ample open-surface parking spaces and 28 detached garages. Current community amenities include a clubhouse, coffee bar, dog wash station and off-leash dog park, fitness center, yoga and spin room, office workspaces and a swimming pool. The newly selected property manager will complete numerous amenity upgrades over the next year, including pool furniture upgrades, clubhouse enhancements, the installation of property access gates, the addition of a parcel locker and elevated landscaping.

*The acquisition of Retreat at Weaverville in Asheville, N.C. represents 9.6% of relative percentage of the holding of the entire portfolio (100%) as of March 13, 2023. Characteristics and holding weightings are based on the total portfolio and are subject to change at any time; they are provided for informational purposes only. This information should not be construed as a recommendation to purchase or sell any security. There can be no assurance that any unrealized investment described herein will prove to be profitable.

Investment Risks

All investments involve risk, including loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Liquidity Risk Considerations:

The Fund should be viewed as a long-term investment, as it is inherently illiquid and suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund. Limited liquidity is provided to shareholders only through the Fund’s quarterly repurchase offers for no more than 5% of the Fund’s shares outstanding at net asset value. There is no guarantee these repurchases will occur as scheduled, or at all. Shares will not be listed on a public exchange, and no secondary market is expected to develop. Shareholders may not be able to sell their shares in the Fund at all or at a favorable price.

Risks related to investment made by the Fund:

The Fund’s investments are highly concentrated in real estate investments, and therefore will be subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including but not limited to local, state, national or international economic conditions; including market disruptions caused by regional concerns, political upheaval, sovereign debt crises and other factors. Asset-backed, mortgage-backed or mortgage-related securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks. The Fund and/or its subsidiaries employ leverage, which increases the volatility of investment returns and subjects the Fund to magnified losses if an underlying fund’s investments decline in value. The Fund may use derivatives, such as options and futures, which can be illiquid, may disproportionately increase losses, and have a potentially large impact on Fund performance. Fixed income securities involve interest rate, credit, inflation and reinvestment risks. As interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities fall. High-yield bonds possess greater price volatility, illiquidity and possibility of default.

Before investing, carefully consider a Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. You can find this and other information in each prospectus, or summary prospectus, if available, at www.franklintempleton.com. Please read it carefully.

Any information, statement or opinion set forth herein is general in nature, is not directed to or based on the financial situation or needs of any particular investor, and does not constitute, and should not be construed as, investment advice, forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, or a recommendation with respect to any particular security or investment strategy or type of retirement account. Investors seeking financial advice regarding the appropriateness of investing in any securities or investment strategies should consult their financial professional.
