AUSTIN, TX – Virga Capital closed on its first multifamily acquisition in the Austin metropolitan area with the purchase of The Beacon at Pfluger Farm, a 258-unit Class A apartment community located in Pflugerville, Texas.
Built in 2022, The Beacon at Pfluger Farm is a three-story, garden-style community offering a balanced mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences with an average unit size of approximately 890 square feet. The property features contemporary interior finishes and a market-leading amenity package that includes a clubhouse, resort-style swimming pool, two fitness facilities, coworking and resident lounge spaces, private garages, and outdoor gathering areas.
The Beacon at Pfluger Farm is located within a 10-minute walk of the 1.5 million-square-foot Stone Hill Town Center, providing residents with immediate access to a wide range of restaurants, retailers, and entertainment options. Situated in the high-growth Pflugerville submarket, the property benefits from limited near-term supply, proximity to technology and advanced manufacturing employers, and strong regional connectivity via State Highway 45 and State Highway 130.
“We acquired The Beacon as Austin’s multifamily supply pipeline is falling off a cliff following years of elevated deliveries,” said Robert Lateiner, Founder and CEO of Virga Capital. “That dynamic has created a generational opportunity to invest in one of the nation’s strongest long-term growth markets at a cyclical low. With 2025 absorption exceeding 20,000 units—roughly double the historic average—this acquisition positions Virga as a front-runner ahead of the return of large-scale institutional capital. The window to invest in Austin multifamily is open, but it is closing quickly.”

CHARLOTTE, NC – The Republic Family of Companies, through its Charlotte subsidiary Republic Development Group, and Esen announced a joint venture to develop a new mixed-use community at 700 and 800 Central Avenue. Located just east of Uptown in the historic Plaza Midwood neighborhood, the project will feature approximately 370 multifamily units and 3,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Construction is planned to start in mid-2026.
The development represents a significant investment in one of Charlotte s most culturally rich corridors. Plaza Midwood, which originated in the early 1900s as the city s first “streetcar suburb,” owes its unique character to the 1903 streetcar line that ran down Central Avenue. This new project, located at Central Ave and Piedmont St, is designed to honor this history while meeting the modern demand for walkable, amenity-rich living.
“We are thrilled to bring a project of this caliber to Plaza Midwood, a neighborhood that offers historic charm within reach of Charlotte s economic center,” said Adam McMichael, Managing Director and Charlotte Lead for Republic. ” Charlotte s demand for well-located, thoughtfully crafted housing continues to grow, and this project answers that need. For us, this is about more than building housing; it s about welcoming new residents to one of the Southeast s most desirable neighborhoods.”
The partnership brings together two powerful real estate entities. Republic, led by Chairman Richard Kramer, encompasses a diverse portfolio of businesses including Republic Properties Corporation and Republic Urban Properties. Esen, a recently established venture formed by seasoned developers, focuses on urban developments grounded in purpose-driven design.
“This partnership between Republic and Esen reflects a shared belief in Charlotte s future and a shared vision for this site,” said Dave Boillot, Chief Investment Officer of Esen. “We are incredibly excited to enter the Charlotte market alongside a partner with Republic s track record. We believe our Central Avenue project will set a new standard for living in Plaza Midwood.”

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Hamilton Zanze, a leading San Francisco-based multifamily real estate investment firm, announced that it has sold Villages at Parktown, a 309-unit garden-style community in Deer Park, Texas. The firm sponsored the acquisition of the property in May 2014.
“We are thrilled with the sale of Villages at Parktown,” said Anthony Ly, senior director of transactions at Hamilton Zanze. “This community represented a unique opportunity in a limited-supply submarket, and its larger units, including some as spacious as 1,600 square feet, proved highly attractive to residents. By building on that foundation through unit upgrades and the addition of a brand-new clubhouse and pool, we were able to create a better resident experience.”
Situated at 500 W Pasadena Boulevard, Villages at Parktown features one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes ranging from 810 to 1,600 square feet. The Gulf Plains location is approximately 20 miles southeast of Houston and 10 miles west of Trinity Bay. The commuter-friendly location easily connects to Highway 225 (Pasadena Freeway), Interstate 10 and the Sam Houston Tollway, which provide connectivity to the greater Houston area and beyond.
Common-area amenities at the pet-friendly community include an Olympic-sized swimming pool, sundeck, barbecue/picnic area, fitness center and an onsite playground. Homes include walk-in closets, air conditioning, ceiling fans, washer/dryer connections and private patios or balconies. Select homes feature wood-style flooring, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplashes, custom cabinetry and private yards.
Villages at Parktown is surrounded by dining, entertainment and recreational options, including The Battleground Golf Course and San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site. Several grocery options are within a short commute, as well.
The sale represented Hamilton Zanze’s ninth disposition of 2025. The firm has sold over $4.5 billion in multifamily properties since its founding in 2001.

TUCSON, AZ – Bascom Arizona Venture, an affiliate of Irvine, California-based private equity firm The Bascom Group, 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 two-story, garden-style property offers residents spacious, open concept one- and two-bedroom floorplans and a strong amenity package that features a swimming pool and spa, fitness center, and clubhouse.
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. “BAZV has remained disciplined and committed to sourcing the right opportunity to align with their business plan,” says Joe Daiutolo, Acquisitions Manager for BAZV. “This acquisition reflects our commitment to reinvesting in the community through a thorough renovation program designed to enhance the day-to-day resident experience while unlocking the property’s long-term potential.”
BrightSpire Capital Acquisitions provided debt financing, which was arranged by Brian Eisendrath, Cameron Chalfant, Jake Vitta, and Jesse Zarouk of Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), for the acquisition. Steve Gebing, Cliff David, Hamid Panahi, and Clint Wadlund of IPA advised the buyer and seller in the transaction. Arizona-based property manager Bryten Real Estate Partners will manage the property.
Bascom Value Added Apartment Investors VI, LLC (“Fund VI” or the “Fund”), which is sponsored by Bascom, launched a new offering of its securities pursuant to Rule 506(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Fund VI is focused on acquiring apartment communities throughout the U.S. that can be repositioned through value-add renovations, management improvements, recovery from being over leveraged and distressed, or may be a foreclosure and trading at a significant discount. The Fund has been actively raising capital and acquiring property assets. The Fund currently owns six apartment properties with approximately $83 million of equity invested. The Fund is seeking to raise an additional approximately $70 million in equity for this offering.
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. With property values resetting meaningfully across many markets and increased pressure on sellers, we see a favorable environment for deploying disciplined capital. The portfolio to date reflects that approach, with attractive investments across markets, asset types, and risk profiles.” Joe Ferguson, Vice President, adds, “The Retreat at Speedway is a good illustration of this dynamic. We are acquiring a well-located, institutional-quality property at a strong going-in yield, with clear value-add upside and a cost basis meaningfully below replacement cost, reflecting the types of attractive, risk-adjusted opportunities created by today’s pricing reset.”

DENVER, CO – Buchanan Capital Partners, an Austin-based, zero-fee commercial real estate investment firm, announced its recent capitalization of Garrett Centennial Apartments, a 368-unit garden-style multifamily development located in the Denver Tech Center submarket.
The project is BCP’s second Joint Venture with The Garrett Companies in conjunction with their strategic partner, Telis Group. Weinstein Properties also joined the transaction as an equity partner. In 2024, BCP, The Garrett Companies and Telis collectively capitalized Garrett Fillmore Apartments, a 196-unit multifamily development in Colorado Springs.
Situated on a 19-acre site in the Denver Tech Center submarket, Garrett Centennial benefits from exceptional regional connectivity at the intersection of I-25 and Arapahoe Rd, minutes from the well-established corporate district, downtown Denver, and Cherry Creek State Park.
The project sits within the highly sought-after Cherry Creek School District, positioning the property well for future demand from families priced out of homeownership in the affluent area. Garrett Centennial is also centrally positioned within Midtown Centennial, an 800-acre, city-led redevelopment effort transforming legacy office parks into a walkable, mixed-use district.
The development will consist of 14 residential buildings offering a diverse unit mix designed to serve a broad renter base, including families, professionals, and long-term residents seeking access to top-tier schools and employment centers. Residents will be near major retail, dining, and entertainment destinations, including Top Golf Centennial, Park Meadows Mall, Cherry Creek State Park, and Centennial Center Park.
Keith Buchanan, Founder and Principal of Buchanan Capital Partners, said “Garrett Centennial allows us to deploy capital at an attractive cost basis in one of Denver’s best performing submarkets that has long-term demand fundamentals that support durable rent growth and value creation, while aligning with a Best-In-Class development partner who shares our long-term view of the market.”
Ford Albert, Director at Buchanan Capital Partners, added, “Over the past two years, BCP has been highly selective in multifamily investments. This opportunity stood out by meeting all our key criteria: an exceptional location in a top school district, discounted basis relative to recent comparable sales, dwindling supply pipeline, and vertically integrated development partner with a differentiated unit mix. Given Garrett’s attractive cost basis, BCP can conservatively underwrite lease-up rents at a significant discount to the submarket’s current rent levels. In 2026, we will look for similar JV development and direct acquisition opportunities in pockets with limited future supply.”

HEMPSTEAD, NY – Hudson Valley Property Group, a leading, national affordable housing preservation company, announced its acquisition of 100 Terrace Apartments, a 420-unit affordable housing property located at 100 Terrace Avenue in Hempstead, New York.

To date, HVPG has preserved ~2,300 units of affordable housing throughout New York State and City. Through this preservation project, HVPG will protect the long-term affordability of 100 Terrace and implement comprehensive renovations designed to enhance quality of life for residents while modernizing the property’s infrastructure and amenities.
Total project costs related to this transaction are approximately $145 million. HVPG is planning approximately $23 million in renovations, averaging $55,000 per unit, to modernize the six-story, mid-rise building originally constructed in 1972.
“We are proud to expand our footprint on Long Island and bring our preservation expertise to Hempstead,” said Jason Bordainick, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Hudson Valley Property Group. “100 Terrace represents a critical component of the area’s affordable housing infrastructure, and we’re committed to ensuring these 420 homes remain safe, accessible, and affordable for working families for generations to come. Through thoughtful investment and strategic partnerships with HUD and local stakeholders, we’re preserving not just housing, but stability and opportunity for this community.”
To ensure long-term affordability for residents, HVPG has secured a renewed HUD Project-Based Section 8 Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) contract covering 99% of the property’s units. Under this agreement, income-qualified residents will pay no more than 30% of their household income toward rent, with affordability protections locked in for an additional 22 years. The property is further restricted to income-qualified residents earning no more than 50% of Area Median Income (AMI).
The property is further supported by a Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement with the Township of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency (IDA), which was instrumental in enabling the preservation of this vital affordable housing asset.
Frederick Parola, Executive Director of the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency, said, “We welcome this investment by Hudson Valley Property Group and with our assistance, tenants, the Village of Hempstead, and the Town of Hempstead will benefit from the revitalization of this property and the creation of a safe, attractive, and well-maintained affordable housing community.”
“We look forward to partnering with Hudson Valley Property Group in preserving this community asset and are excited to collaborate to deliver safe, affordable housing to the residents of 100 Terrace Avenue. HVPG’s investment alongside the Village of Hempstead’s commitment to improving the quality of life and housing in this neighborhood will have positive ;impact for our community for years to come,” said Jeffery Daniels, Deputy Mayor of the Village of Hempstead.
HVPG’s renovation plans prioritize resident safety, comfort, and quality of life through a wide-ranging transformation of the property. The comprehensive scope of work will touch every aspect of residents’ living experience, from their individual units to shared spaces and building-wide systems.
Units will receive new cabinetry and countertops, energy-efficient appliances, water-saving faucets and sinks, and upgraded flooring as needed. The property will feature an expanded central laundry facility on the ground floor and a newly created business center available for residents’ use. HVPG will be launching its signature Community Enhancement Program which includes the implementation of security measures throughout the property, including upgraded cameras, access control systems, and intercom technology. All residents will have access to complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi at no cost. Building infrastructure improvements will address critical systems with new roofing, parking garage improvements, boiler system repairs and complete modernization of all elevators.
HVPG is committed to continuing and supporting existing resident programming, including the PEACE afterschool program that serves the 100 Terrace community.
“The Partnerships in Education to Avoid Criminal Justice System Entry (P.E.A.C.E. Afterschool Program) has proudly served this community for over 14 years, providing educational enrichment, tutoring, and youth employment opportunities,” said Dr. Fayth Vaughn-Shavuo, Executive Director of P.E.A.C.E. “We’re excited to partner with new ownership of 100 Terrace, Hudson Valley Property Group, whose commitment to enhancing residents’ quality of life through education and community programming aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to strengthening the support and resources available to our students and families in the years ahead.”
The project is being financed through a combination of equity from HVPG’s Hudson Valley Preservation Fund and a Fannie Mae loan provided by KeyBank. HVPG worked closely with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Township of Hempstead IDA to structure this preservation transaction.

FORT COLLINS, CO – The Milestone Group completed two Class A Intermountain region acquisitions, purchasing Bucking Horse Apartments, a 322-unit, garden-style multifamily community within the 160-acre Bucking Horse master-planned community in Fort Collins, Colorado, and Prelude at Paramount, a 280-unit garden-style multifamily community in Meridian, Idaho, a rapidly growing suburb of Boise. The purchase prices were not disclosed.
“Bucking Horse Apartments features highly sought-after amenities, numerous recreational options, and exceptional access to regional employment centers. The Fort Collins market is characterized by strong fundamentals for growth, high barriers to entry, and 95% market occupancy with limited supply in the pipeline,” said Milestone Vice President of Acquisitions Rich Ritter. Ritter continued, “Prelude at Paramount provides significant enhancement potential in one of the most dynamic growth corridors in the Mountain West, supported by exceptional demographic and economic momentum. Acquiring the asset at a basis well below replacement cost creates an attractive entry point that, when combined with our value-enhancement business plan, positions the property to capture long-term demand and appreciation. These acquisitions provide us portfolio exposure to two suburban markets experiencing strong demographic tailwinds fueled primarily by domestic migration and outsized job growth in tech, medical, and educational sectors.”
Bucking Horse Apartments: The Fort Collins region continues to attract capital investment with accompanying job creation, including Marvel Fusion’s $150 million laser research facility, a 3.5 million square foot Amazon robotics facility, Colorado State University’s Future Technology building, and the expansion of the existing USDA facility, as Fort Collins was named a regional hub city for the reorganized agency.
Bucking Horse Apartments was designed specifically to encourage neighborhood living, with low-density garden-style buildings built to homebuilder-quality construction standards. The community’s one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, and three-bedroom garage townhomes, are surrounded by single-family homes averaging $800K, delivering a unique and highly attractive product in a walkable and richly amenitized community.
Prelude at Paramount: Located within Boise’s thriving rental market, Meridian is one of the fastest-growing cities in the region, having experienced more than 20% population growth since 2020. The Boise/Meridian area boasts a diverse and growing economy and serves as a regional hub for technology, healthcare and education, which have driven strong job growth and low unemployment. Prelude at Paramount enjoys direct access to top schools, retail centers, employment hubs, and transportation corridors.
The 2018-vintage asset was designed for modern, efficient living in a resort-style community. One-, two-, and three-bedroom units feature smart home technology and recently renovated common area amenities.

ARDMORE, PA – Piazza Property Development Company and Radnor Property Group announced the start of construction of The Piazza at Ardmore, a $187 million new mixed-use, multi-family housing and retail project at 100 Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore, Pennsylvania. The Piazza at Ardmore will bring 270 apartments, nearly 30,000 square feet of street-living retail space, and 480 parking spaces to Ardmore’s business district, 108 of which will be for public use.
The site is owned by Daniel Piazza Esquire and The Piazza Family who currently operate an Acura dealership. In January 2025, Dan Piazza Esquire selected Radnor as his developer to undertake the pre-development and development process.
“Radnor is delighted to expand our multi-family portfolio expertise to Ardmore, one of Philadelphia’s finest suburban communities to live and work,” said David Yeager, Radnor’s CEO & Managing Partner. “Through collaboration with ownership, The Piazza at Ardmore is a tremendous opportunity to carry on the area’s momentum and growth, enhancing its vibrancy and economic prosperity for the future.”
The project is part of a transit-oriented development at the Amtrak/SEPTA Rail station, bringing greater density and walkability to the downtown. Located adjacent to the Ardmore train station—the area’s busiest stop for regional SEPTA trails—and within walking distance of the Suburban Square Shopping Center, Ardmore Farmer’s Market, Ardmore Music Hall, and Trader Joe’s, The Piazza at Ardmore is ideally situated to create a true sense of place.
Amenities for The Piazza at Ardmore will include covered public and private parking, a community lounge, gaming room, media room, demo kitchen, co-working space, fitness center, an outdoor pool, and over 19,000 SF of outdoor courtyard space. The target retail tenants include a mix of food and beverage, health and wellness, and specialty retail uses.
“The groundbreaking of this project represents an exciting milestone for Piazza and the community of Ardmore,” said Daniel Piazza Esquire “This development has long been in the works, and we’re thrilled to be engaged with Radnor to bring The Piazza at Ardmore to fruition and deliver a truly fantastic live-work-play environment.”
This project illustrates the concerted effort between Radnor and Piazza in delivering a thoughtful, responsive, and elevated community. The team worked closely with Lower Merion Township and the Ardmore Initiative, the community’s Business Improvement District, to engage with stakeholders, ensure ample parking and walkability, and create pedestrian-friendly spaces where people can congregate.
“We hope that The Piazza project will bridge the years-long connectivity challenge between Haverford College and downtown Ardmore,” said Alec Hersh, Executive Director of the Ardmore Initiative. “The Piazza at Ardmore is another big piece in the puzzle of making Ardmore the Main Street of the Main Line.”
