NOTE 1: Organization
Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on March 26, 2009. Our primary purposes are to acquire, own, operate, improve and manage multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of September 30, 2022, we owned and operated 122 multifamily apartment properties that contain 36,176 units (unaudited) across non-gateway U.S. markets including Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Louisville, Memphis, Oklahoma City, and Raleigh. In addition, as of September 30, 2022, we owned interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures that are developing multifamily apartment communities. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP (“IROP”), of which we are the sole general partner.
As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, IROP and their subsidiaries.
On July 26, 2021, IRT, together with IROP, and IRSTAR Sub, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of IRT (“IRT Merger Sub”), entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (“STAR”) and its operating partnership, Steadfast Apartment REIT Operating Partnership, L.P. (“STAR OP”). Consummation of the mergers provided for in the Merger Agreement (which we refer to collectively as the “STAR Merger”) was subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, receipt of IRT stockholder approval and STAR stockholder approval, which occurred on December 13, 2021. The STAR Merger closed on December 16, 2021. For further discussion, see Note 3: IRT and STAR Merger included in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
