Hamilton Zanze Completes Acquisition of Two Garden-Style Apartment Communities Totaling 776-Units in in Reno Metropolitan Market

RENO, NV – Hamilton Zanze, a leading San Francisco-based multifamily real estate investment firm, announced it has sponsored the buy of Lakeview and Sand Pebble/Spanish Oaks, two apartment communities in the Reno metropolitan area.
Hamilton Zanze sponsored the transaction through HZ Capital Partners Fund I, its discretionary fund that targets the acquisition of multifamily properties, alongside joint venture partner New York Life Real Estate Partners. Mission Rock Residential, an affiliate of Hamilton Zanze, has assumed management of the properties, which sit within seven miles of one another.
“We’re thrilled to be expanding our portfolio in Reno—a market that continues to demonstrate strong fundamentals,” said David Nelson, president and chief investment officer at Hamilton Zanze. “With its business-friendly climate, a limited multifamily supply pipeline and recent investments from Amazon, Google and Tesla, Renois well-positioned for sustained rent growth. We’re keen to unlock value at both assets through a strategic value add program, including unit renovations, building upgrades and enhancements to the common areas and amenities.”
Located at 2600 East Shore Drive in Reno, Lakeview features 328 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes and overlooks Virginia Lake. The community is surrounded by multiple biking/jogging paths, several golf courses and shopping centers, and is within a quick commute of the Reno Convention Center. Community amenities include a swimming pool, barbecue/picnic area, basketball court, onsite gym, laundry facility and playground. Homes include air conditioning, high-speed internet and private patios or balconies.
Sand Pebble/Spanish Oaks is situated at 1877 El Rancho Drive in nearby Sparks, Nev., and features 448 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes. The two-tale community, originally built in 1983, features a resident clubhouse, swimming pool, sauna spa, laundry facilities, basketball and tennis courts, onsite fitness center and additional storage space. Apartment features include air conditioning, high-speed internet, washer/dryer hookups, fireplaces, walk-in closets and private patios or balconies.
“We’re excited to continue our relationship with Hamilton Zanze,” said Albert Pura, senior director of transactions for New York Life Real Estate Investors. “The opportunity to buy these assets was very attractive given the outlook for Reno, initial basis, as well as the multiple layers to drive additional value.”
