"The run up in mortgage rates for the single-family market has exacerbated a broader affordability issue leaving a lot of people looking to rent as the more affordable option. We are excited about this portfolio because while people begin searching for affordable housing options, we don't believe that should be associated with an outdated community experience," said Ryan Everett, VP of Acquisitions at S2. "The majority of the amenities and features at these properties date back to their original development roughly 40 years ago. Our planned property improvements will increase the supply of quality housing that is essential to sustaining desirable communities and meeting local employer needs, which will benefit both our tenants and investors," he added.

Collectively, Mark Brandenburg, Lauren Dow, and Michael Cosby with JLL, and Lauren Bresky and Loren Heikenfeld with NorthMarq helped secure the debt financing. The investment sales were led by Roberto Casas, Rob Key, Matthew Lawton and Dustin Selzer with JLL, as well as Taylor Snoddy with NorthMarq.
