Ascenda Capital Arranges Acquisition of $311M Portfolio of Multifamily Assets in Texas Growth Markets
Transaction represents ninth for Los Angeles-based Ascenda since its 2018 launch
LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascenda Capital, in partnership with American Landmark Apartments, has arranged the acquisition of a six-property portfolio of apartment communities across Texas consisting of 2,284 units. The rental communities, located in five of the Lone Star State's fastest-growing markets -- Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Irving and The Woodlands – were acquired from Provident Realty Advisors. Ascenda invested as a Limited Partner in the transaction.
Ascenda dealt directly with the sellers in this off-market acquisition. The acquisition represents Ascenda's ninth investment in multifamily assets since its founding last year. It is evidence of the company's continuing commitment to building its multifamily portfolio.

It plans to add another $2 billion in properties to its growing multifamily portfolio this year.
