BRIGHTON, CO – Inland Real Estate Acquisitions announced that it facilitated the acquisition of Solaire Apartments, a newly constructed 252-unit multifamily property located in Brighton, Colorado, approximately 20 miles northeast of the central business district of Denver. Matthew Tice, senior vice president of Inland Real Estate Acquisitions, facilitated the transaction on behalf of an Inland affiliate.

Located at 1287 South 8th Avenue, Solaire Apartments consists of 11 buildings containing 114 one-bedroom, 108 two-bedroom and 30 three-bedroom units.

TIAA Global Acquires 331-Unit Multifamily Community in Hot Silicon Valley Market for $95.5 Million

SAN JOSE, CA – Marcus Millichap announced its Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) division closed the $95.5 million sale of The Grove, a 331-unit apartment complex built in 1970 in San Jose, California.

“The investment appeal of this centrally located west San Jose apartment complex is driven by the area’s tremendous employment fundamentals, the extensive value-add upside to be gained through continued unit interior and common area amenity upgrades, the current loss-to-lease, and the pedestrian- and transit-oriented nature of the location,” said Stan Jones, IPA executive director.

Jones, along with IPA executive directors Salvatore Saglimbeni and Philip Saglimbeni, represented the seller, Kennedy Wilson Multifamily. The buyer is TH Real Estate, an operating division of TIAA Global Asset Management.

The property is situated within an expansive, 11.7-acre, park-like setting at 1919 Fruitdale Avenue. Amenities at The Grove include two resort-style swimming pools with furnished sundecks, a hydrotherapy spa, fitness center, clubhouse, business center, resident lounge, outdoor barbecue area, gated access and covered parking.

Bozman Affordable Housing Awards, presented by the Alliance for Housing Solutions. “It’s fantastic to live in a community where affordable housing is a bipartisan issue. Arlington can serve as an inspiration to the country as to how we can make it work,” said Michael Spotts, who served as vice chair of the 18-member task force. The body’s work evolved into an Affordable Housing Master Plot, adopted unanimously by the County Board last year.)
