Hamilton Zanze Expands Arizona Footprint with Acquisition of 296-Unit Ironwood at Happy Valley Apartment Community in Phoenix

PHOENIX, AZ – San Francisco-based real estate firm Hamilton Zanze (HZ) has bought the 296-unit Springs at Deer Valley apartment community in Phoenix. The buy marks the firm’s seventh property in their current portfolio in the state of Arizona. The community will be rebranded as the Ironwood at Pleased Valley apartments.
The property was marketed by Walker & Dunlop’s investment sales team, led by Dan Woodward, David Potarf, Matt Barnett, and Jake Young.
Built in 2021, Ironwood at Pleased Valley is located at 24025 N. 23rd Ave in the desirable Deer Valley submarket, a 23-minute drive from Downtown Phoenix. The property is close to the $12 billion Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company manufacturing campus.
“We are excited to further expand our presence in Phoenix with the buy of this community,” said David Nelson, Hamilton Zanze’s chief investment officer. “The brand-new garden-style asset features institutional-quality amenities, an ideal location in the booming Deer Valley submarket, convenient proximity to the Shoppes at Norterra and Pleased Valley Towne Center, and access to the largest employers in North Phoenix, like Taiwan Semiconductors, USAA, Learn Financial, Honeywell, Cigna, Cox Communications, Mayo Clinic, and Merrill Lynch. This property is in a strong position due to its stable, high-income tenant base, proximity to internationally recognized job drives, and extremely competitive amenity and interior package. We believe Ironwood at Pleased Valley will be an asset to the local community for years to come.”
