Rockpoint and Related Group Announce Sale of Class A Apartment Community in Phoenix

BOSTON, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Rockpoint, a real estate private equity firm, and Related Group ("Related"), a leading real estate conglomerate, today announced the sale of Town Deer Valley, a Class A luxury apartment community in Phoenix.

Rockpoint and Related, in partnership, acquired the Town Deer Valley site in February 2021 and developed the 18-acre site into 388 residential units across 19, three-story wood-framed garden-style buildings.

"Rockpoint's ownership chapter of Town Deer Valley represents our focus on address-level investing, in markets like greater Phoenix where we have deep knowledge and experience. We believe our hands-on, vertically integrated approach ensures excellence and generates value for all our stakeholders," said Aric Shalev, Managing Member and Co-President at Rockpoint. "We are grateful for Related's partnership throughout this venture, and we look forward to watching Town Deer Valley continue to flourish during this next phase of ownership."

Modeled after a Mediterranean-style "resort paradise," Town Deer Valley features upscale architectural detailing, sleek finishes, and market-best amenities – including a state-of-the-art fitness center, on-site dog park, business lounge, and arts and crafts room. Residents also have access to an outdoor oasis featuring private cabanas, two swimming pools, a secluded spa enclave, and outdoor kitchen.

"With the support of Rockpoint and the combination of our proprietary skillsets, we were able to identify and understand the unique needs of the northern Phoenix community and develop a bespoke, elevated living experience defined by standout design and unrivaled amenities," said Steve Patterson, President at Related. "Our shared vision for Town Deer Valley has delivered a one-of-a-kind property, and we are thrilled with the tremendous growth and overall success of this asset."

In 2023, Town Deer Valley was recognized by CoStar, a leading commercial real estate publication and database, as the best multifamily development in the Phoenix region for its exemplary design, luxury finishes, and resort-quality amenities.

Cliff David and Steve Gebing of Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) acted as broker for Rockpoint and Related on this transaction.
