SUMMERVILLE, SC – URS Capital Partners has successfully bought The Palms at Edgewater, a 288-unit Class A multifamily community located in the rapidly growing Charleston suburb of Summerville, South Carolina. The $58.5 million transaction closed in under 60 days, showcasing URS’s ability to do efficiently in a time-sensitive environment.
Built in 2023, The Palms at Edgewater features a high-quality construction profile with modern amenities, strong in-place occupancy, and day-one cash flow. The property was bought at an attractive basis with positive leverage and long-term upside.
“We’re proud of the speed and precision our team demonstrated on this deal,” said Chris Urso, Managing Partner of URS Capital Partners. “In a volatile rate environment, we were able to secure 5-year fixed agency debt at 4.77%—a rare win, with timing on our side. That speaks to the strength of our lending relationships and discipline in underwriting.”
“Uncertainty makes windows of opportunity,” Urso continued. “We’re not retreating—we’re growing strategically, with fantastic partners by our side.”
Chris Gorman, Managing Director of Investments, added: “We’re excited to re-enter the Charleston market with a 2023 vintage asset that offers strong in-place cash flow at an attractive cost basis. It’s a fantastic example of our ability to stay patient yet go decisively when the right opportunity emerges.”
This acquisition is URS’s eighth since the beginning of 2024 and further reflects the firm’s continued strategy of leaning into market dislocation to capture long-term value.

TAMPA, FL – S2 Capital, a national vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, announced the acquisition of Amberly Place, a 1989-vintage, 770-unit, garden-style multifamily apartment community in the Tampa, Florida market. With this transaction, S2 has now bought over 50,000 units since inception in 2012. Terms of the transaction were not told.
The property was bought off-market through a deal arranged by Shelton Granade of commercial real estate brokerage firm Institutional Property Advisors (IPA). IPA’s Harry Krieger helped S2 in securing Freddie Mac financing. S2 bought the asset on behalf of its current value-add fund, S2 Real Estate Fund II, along with two institutional co-investors, including an overseas group based in London.
Michael Bippus, Managing Director of Acquisitions, said, “We are excited to add to our activity in Florida with this terrific asset in a top growth market for us. The equity void for large value-add housing acquisitions has made a unique pricing opportunity for GPs with discretionary capital and deep lending relationships, and we are delighted to buy an asset that fits so squarely in our wheelhouse.”
Amberly Place is located in the Northeast quadrant of the master-plotted Tampa Palms community. S2 will undertake comprehensive interior renovations to bring the property’s original apartments up to the design scope and standards of those units that have already been upgraded. The firm intends to make additional enhancements to interior and exterior amenity spaces and targeted capital improvements to address deferred exterior capex items.
The surrounding area is expected to experience strong projected population growth in the coming years. With high market demand and no new nearby supply expected over the next 24 months, S2 anticipates its proven value-add strategy and operating platform will enable the firm to do on its business plot to reposition the asset and improve operating efficiencies successfully.
