The Tip Desk · November 12, 2026 · 4 min read

Future liquidating distributions are now estimated at $2.15 to $3.45 a share after net assets in liquidation fell to $395.0 million at Sept. 30.

Apartment Investment and Management Company (AIV) reported net assets in liquidation of $395.0 million at Sept. 30, 2026, down from $514.6 million at June 30, and lowered its estimate of total liquidating distributions to $4.90 to $6.20 a share and unit from the $5.75 to $7.10 range disclosed in November 2025. After two paid distributions totaling $2.75 a share and unit, the multifamily REIT now estimates future liquidating distributions of $2.15 to $3.45 a share and unit. The total-distribution estimate is based on about 152.0 million shares, units and equivalents outstanding at Sept. 30, 2026.

The company said the update reflected valuation changes in the most recent quarter and the current market environment, including higher investment-return requirements and buyer borrowing costs, as well as feedback as it advances sales. It also said the estimates remain subject to significant uncertainty.

Net assets in liquidation were $395.0 million at Sept. 30, 2026, down from $514.6 million at June 30. That included $33.5 million of excess liabilities the company said it does not believe are represented at estimated fair value but cannot derecognize under GAAP.

From Feb. 1 through Sept. 30, 2026, net assets in liquidation decreased by $526.2 million, primarily because Aimco declared and paid $1.45 and $1.30 a share and unit in liquidating distributions totaling $408.6 million. Those payments were made on March 13 and June 3.

The remaining decline also included a $102.1 million decrease in the estimated net realizable value of real estate, primarily related to lease-up assets and undeveloped land, partly offset by a $66.0 million increase for one active development project. Notes receivable were remeasured by $15.0 million. Estimated costs in excess of estimated receipts rose $67.5 million, mainly attributable to estimated transaction timing on the Miami tower, which the company said was largely offset by the increase in estimated net realizable value of real estate and for which funding is already in place.

Since stockholders adopted the plan on Feb. 6, 2026, Aimco has sold 18 assets for gross proceeds of $754.6 million. The list of remaining assets at Sept. 30 included three stabilized communities, two lease-ups, the Miami construction project, five land parcels, and several passive and seller-financing investments. Oak Shore in Corte Madera, California, was listed as stabilized rather than stabilizing.

Cash on hand was $66.2 million and restricted cash $8.2 million, for available liquidity of $74.4 million, compared with $78.7 million at June 30. One hundred percent of total debt was fixed rate or hedged with interest-rate caps. Including contractual extensions, the company said it had no debt maturing prior to December 2027. Non-recourse property debt carried a 4.6% rate and a 5.7-year remaining term. Construction loans and bridge financing had a weighted-average rate of 6.6% and a 1.6-year weighted-average remaining term. Unused construction-loan capacity was $65.7 million.

Development spending was $17.6 million in the three months ended Sept. 30, 2026, and $56.7 million in the nine months ended Sept. 30. Remaining construction-loan commitments on the Miami project were about $44.6 million. Construction at 34th Street, an ultra-luxury waterfront tower, remained on schedule and on budget, with initial occupancy scheduled for the third quarter of 2027 and stabilized occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2028.

Lease-up at Upton Place in Washington, D.C., advanced to 609 of 689 units, or 88%, leased or pre-leased, with 85% occupancy, from 578 units, or 84%, at June 30. Strathmore Square Phase 1 in Bethesda, Maryland, had 198 of 220 units, or 90%, leased or pre-leased and 87% occupancy. Both properties are being marketed for sale.

The company said it will continue to manage properties until sale and to return net proceeds and cash on hand to stockholders, subject to liabilities and estimated reserves. It said it has no present plans to modify, amend or abandon the plan.
