TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bascom Arizona Ventures, LLC (BAZV), an affiliate of Irvine, California-based private equity firm The Bascom Group, LLC (Bascom), acquired the Retreat at Speedway, a 304-unit multifamily property located in Tucson, Arizona for $53.4 million or $175,658 per unit. The property was acquired by Bascom's current fund offering, Bascom Value Added Apartment Investors VI, LLC.

Constructed in 2001 and positioned along Speedway Boulevard against the backdrop of the picturesque Catalina Mountains, The Retreat at Speedway benefits from proximity to the premier Catalina Foothills and access to major employment centers.

The Retreat at Speedway presents a compelling value-add opportunity, with new ownership planning a thoughtful capital improvement program designed to elevate everyday living through refreshed clubhouse spaces, enhanced pool, spa, and fitness areas, and upgraded residences.

This transaction marks BAZV's first acquisition since February 2020.

Chad Sanderson, Fund VI Manager states, "Fund VI is focused on building a diversified multifamily portfolio that emphasizes capital preservation, long-term value creation, and consistent cash flow.
