CONAM Strategic Investments Fund IV Expands Footprint with Acquisition of 232-Unit Alicante Apartment Community in Las Vegas Market

LAS VEGAS, NV – CONAM Strategic Investments Fund IV LP, a discretionary investment fund sponsored by The CONAM Group (“CONAM”), has bought Alicante Apartment Homes, a 232-unit multifamily community in the Spring Valley submarket of Las Vegas, Nevada. The acquisition further expands CONAM’s presence in the Las Vegas market and represents the latest investment for Fund IV.
Built in 2001, Alicante consists of 232 units across two-tale, garden-style buildings on 11.29 acres. The community offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans averaging 1,092 square feet, notably larger than most competing products in the submarket. All 232 units feature luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a full-size in-unit washer and dryer. Community amenities include a swimming pool and spa, fitness center with yoga and spin studios, clubhouse, billiards room, dog park, playground, package lockers, and gated access.
Alicante benefits from its large floor plans and low-density design, supporting consistently strong occupancy and resident retention. Located less than one mile from Summerlin, the property offers convenient access to major employment centers including Southern Hills Hospital, St. Rose Dominican Hospital – San Martin Campus, the UnCommons mixed-use development, and the growing UNLV Tech Park. Average household incomes within one mile of the property exceed $112,000.
“Alicante fits squarely within our investment strategy — well-built suburban communities in markets with durable demand drivers, strong demographics, and attractive relative value,” said Zach Markell, Acquisitions Director at CONAM. “CONAM has been an owner and operator in Southern Nevada for decades, and this investment is a fantastic addition to our existing portfolio in the Las Vegas market.”

Hawkins Way Capital Led Joint Venture Expands Student Housing Portfolio with $28 Million Acquisition of Student Property in NYC

NEW YORK, NY – Hawkins Way Capital, a vertically integrated real estate investment firm with over $3 billion in assets under management, along with joint venture partner Varde Partners, announce the acquisition of 81 E. 3rd St., a student housing property located in Manhattan’s East Village. Bought for $28 million, the off-market transaction marks a strategic addition to the growing FOUND Study student housing portfolio and expands the platform’s presence in one of New York City’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
Previously developed and operated as a privately owned student residence, the property features apartment-style layouts that offer an enhanced living experience, compared to traditional dormitory accommodations. Its flexible design also provides long-term optionality, with the ability to serve both student housing and conventional multifamily uses.
Located in the heart of the East Village, the property sits within one of Manhattan’s densest student populations and is in close proximity to major educational institutions, including New York University. The acquisition aligns with the joint venture’s long-term investment strategy of acquiring well-located urban student housing assets in markets driven by strong student demand, multiple academic institutions, limited housing supply, and long-term real estate value.
“The East Village has long been a market we have targeted, given its concentration of students, proximity to leading universities, and enduring real estate fundamentals,” said Ross Walker, Managing Partner, Hawkins Way Capital. “This acquisition expands our JV’s presence in one of Manhattan’s most dynamic neighborhoods and reinforces our strategy of investing in well-located urban student housing assets positioned to benefit from sustained demand.”
The acquisition further advances Hawkins Way Capital’s broader FOUND Study strategy, which provides high-quality, affordable housing options by way of acquiring well-located urban and select other assets that serve both students and academic institutions in markets with limited housing supply and strong long-term fundamentals.

Spirit Investment Partners and Strategic Value Partners Complete Acquisition of Two Multifamily Communities Totaling 895-Unit in Texas

HOUSTON, TX – Spirit Investment Partners, in partnership with Strategic Value Partners (“SVP”), a global alternative investment firm, on behalf of its and its affiliates managed investment funds and accounts, announced the off-market acquisition of an 895-unit multifamily portfolio from Resia, the U.S. multifamily real estate and modular manufacturing subsidiary of Brazil’s largest homebuilder, MRV & Co. The portfolio comprises of the 573-unit Resia Ten Oaks community in Houston and the 322-unit Resia Rayzor Ranch community in Denton, Texas. Terms of the transaction were not told.
Completed in 2024, the Resia Ten Oaks and Resia Rayzor Ranch properties are high quality multifamily assets featuring modern amenities and finishings typically associated with Class A properties. While both communities are in attractive, high-growth Sunbelt markets they were delivered during a temporary period of elevated new supply that ultimately impacted lease up and operating performance.
“This transaction reflects our strategy of investing in high-quality real assets where strong underlying fundamentals are overshadowed by periods of market dislocation,” said Mike Ungari, Global Head of Real Estate at SVP. “Furthermore, by partnering with experienced operators like Spirit, to source proprietary opportunities, we are able to go quickly on compelling investment opportunities and make long-term value through a combination of thoughtful capital and active asset management.”
Spirit will rebrand the properties, complete the lease up and stabilize operations. Affiliate Spirit Management Services, specializing in managing transitional assets, will take over as property manager for both the Resia Ten Oaks and Resia Rayzor Ranch properties.
Tom Scott, of Spirit Investment Partners, who sourced the transaction, remarks “We’re finding more opportunities like these, where well conceived projects ran into oversupply headwinds and struggled to reach stabilization. “In partnership with SVP, we have the capital and the flexibility to solve these problems for property owners quickly and discretely for the right opportunities. This is only the beginning of what we expect to be an active period of growth for Spirit.”
Oaktree provided the acquisition financing for the portfolio that was arranged by Jamie Leachman and Carter Wroblewski from JLL.
