High-end finishes and panoramic views of the city. Convenient access to a wide array of dining, shopping, and entertainment options, including Audi Field, with ground-level retail. Dedicated resident services and on-site management and maintenance, ensuring residents receive prompt assistance and personalized attention. Access to quality schools, transit, and arts & culture in Ward 6.
“The delivery and grand opening of MDXL Flats completes TM’s $110m investment into the transformation of this corner in DC”, said Bob Margolis, Owner/Chief Executive Officer of TM Associates. “This milestone not only marks the completion of a remarkable project but also reflects TM’s steadfast dedication to enhancing vibrant communities. Through the introduction of high-quality, affordable rental homes, we are committed to driving lasting positive change.”
MDXL Flats, and its sister community, MDL Flats – who opened their doors in 2021, make up 177 affordable residential units, contributing to Mayor Bowser’s goal of creating 12,000 affordable homes by the end of 2025. More than 220 DC residents contributed to the construction of MDXL Flats. The project exceeded its goal of 35% certified business enterprises (CBE).
“We know that to achieve the Mayor’s bold housing goals, we have to be even bolder with our actions. MDXL Flats is an example of how we can use targeted investments and intentional planning to deliver affordable housing in more parts of our city. We thank all of the partners who made this project a reality for the residents who will call this building home,” said Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Nina Albert.”
UPO President and CEO Andrea Thomas said, “Housing is a persistent concern for DC residents, so UPO is proud to be a partner in providing housing stability to people with low incomes and supportive services to those who were unhoused. Most importantly, we are excited to hear the new residents declare, ‘I’m home.'”
“Gilbane Building Company is very proud of this project for not only the impact that more affordable housing options will have on the community but also the positive impact the project had throughout construction,” said Tyler Swartzwelder, business leader for Gilbane’s Washington, DC office. “Fifty percent of construction contracts, totaling more than $14 million, were awarded to diverse-owned and small businesses. Thanks to clients like TM Associates, who share our commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, Gilbane is more than halfway towards our goal of generating $4 billion in awards to MWBE+ businesses by 2027.”

PORTLAND, OR – JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally-managed daily NAV REIT with approximately $7 billion in portfolio equity and debt investment, announced the acquisition of Creekview Crossing, a class-A 183-unit apartment community located in the suburban Portland market of Sherwood, OR. The purchase price was approximately $61 million and includes the assumption of an in-place $26 million mortgage loan, which has an attractive below-market interest rate of 3.09%.
“Supported by strong fundamentals and demographic tailwinds, the residential sector is one of our highest conviction property sectors, producing inflation-hedging rental growth that we believe will be a stable and growing source of income for our stockholders,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “Creekview Crossing’s desirable location in an affluent suburban area with high barriers to entry make this acquisition an outstanding addition to our already substantial residential portfolio allocation of more than $2.7 billion of apartment communities and single-family rentals.”
“This is an extremely attractive investing environment,” continued Swaringen. “While property fundamentals in real estate remain strong, valuations are at a more attractive entry point that should produce long-term value for our portfolio, as signs are pointing to the start of a new market cycle.”
Constructed in 2009, Creekview Crossing offers spacious garden-style and townhome features with outstanding amenities designed to appeal to residents of the upscale suburban area of Sherwood. Located approximately 12 miles from downtown Portland, Sherwood is home to a diverse base of economic drivers, including advanced manufacturing, healthcare and business services. Sherwood has also seen strong population growth, attributable to its connectivity to the greater Portland metro area, proximity to the region’s employer base, and limited rental alternatives. In fact, there has only been one apartment community built in the area since 2010, creating strong demand for existing rental options like Creekview Crossing. The highly regarded Sherwood School District also attracts many residents, with a ranking of fourth out of 160 school districts in Oregon.
For these reasons, suburban Portland is considered an overweight apartment market by LaSalle Research & Strategy’s target market analysis. Additionally, Oregon’s Urban Growth Boundary restricts urban sprawl and limits new competitive development – an advantage to existing owners of properties.
“Our unique UPREIT structure along with our diversified portfolio and daily valuation were attractive to a portion of the selling group who chose to contribute this property in exchange for interests in our operating partnership rather than selling for cash,” said Swaringen. “This provided half of the ownership group a tax efficient sale with the benefit of long-term estate planning while allowing JLL Income Property Trust to make a strategic acquisition with a significantly reduced cash outlay.”
Swaringen added: “Our ability to provide customized outcomes for property sellers gives us a strong advantage as buyers in the current marketplace. Further, as an attractive borrower in this challenged lending environment, working through the assumption of this below-market loan should benefit our stockholders for the remaining 31-year life of the loan.”
This investment brings JLL Income Property Trust’s aggregate residential allocation to more than $2.7 billion, or 42 percent of the portfolio, comprised of 28 apartment communities and more than 4,400 single-family rental homes.

DENVER, CO – An affiliate of Oberndorf Real Estate Management (OBREM) and The Bascom Group, announced they have closed on the acquisition of the 360-unit Hearthstone at City Center, located at 932 South Helena Way in vibrant Aurora, Colorado, for $74 million.
Hearthstone marks Bascom’s fourth acquisition of 2024 and comes shortly after the recent acquisitions of The Overlook, a 344-unit garden style multifamily property located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Texan26, a 204-bed student housing community in Austin, Texas. Once the largest multifamily owners in the state of Colorado, Hearthstone is Bascom’s 37th acquisition in the state and 10th acquisition in the city of Aurora.
Constructed in 1984 as a low-density community comprised of forty-one buildings across 18.25 acres, Hearthstone features ample onsite outdoor space and a diverse mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. The community is conveniently located southeast of Aurora City Center, a midway point between Downtown Denver and Denver International Airport, just minutes from the I-225 highway, the Aurora Metro Center Station RTD Line, and a 20-minute drive to Downtown Denver.
Residents at Hearthstone can access hundreds of thousands of employment opportunities within a 20-minute commute from the property. Nearby employment hubs include Fitzsimons Medical Campus, Buckley Space Force Base, Denver International Airport, Denver CBD, Denver Tech Center and Cherry Creek. Hearthstone’s location offers superb access to key quality of life attractions and recreation given a diverse selection of shopping, dining and retail in the vicinity, and outdoor activities in Aurora’s many parks, in-town trails and reservoirs, including the scenic 4,000-acre Cherry Creek State Park, and outdoor art and golf courses, all within the backdrop of the Rocky Mountains.
The community has been well-maintained over numerous renovation programs throughout the years and offers select units with contemporary appliances, in-home washers and dryers, hardwood-style flooring, walk-in closets, fireplaces and private patios and balconies. The highly amenitized property has a resort-style pool, outdoor grilling and picnic areas, fitness center and sauna, pet park, playground, basketball court and on-site laundry.
Renters enjoy a 50% discount relative to the costs of home ownership in the immediate area. The partnership believes it is acquiring this property at an attractive basis and yield resulting from the highly volatile economic environment over the last twenty-four months. Peter Oberndorf, Managing Director at Oberndorf Real Estate Management, said, “While there is some softness in rents due to elevated supply deliveries, the partnership is positive on the long-term trajectory of the Aurora submarket and greater Denver MSA as new supply becomes harder to build given the higher interest rate environment and recent development restrictions, which will stagnate supply for the foreseeable future.”
The partnership’s business plan includes an extensive value-add renovation program that includes upgraded appliances, countertops and lighting; additional in-unit washers and dryers; added kitchen backsplashes; new cabinets and fixtures; and wood plank flooring. Common area improvements are planned for the fitness center, leasing center and pool, as well as a completely redesigned multipurpose activity area, façade enhancements and revamped landscaping.
Jim Singleton, Bascom’s Senior Vice President & Principal of Acquisitions, shared, “We are thrilled to make yet another multifamily investment in the city of Aurora and state of Colorado. Despite a challenging transaction market, we are finding select opportunities that we anticipate will be strong investments for our company and our highly valued partners such as OBREM.”
Bascom’s Senior Vice President of Portfolio Operations, Paul Zakhary, added, “Bascom plans to further elevate the Property by strategically repositioning and improving operations that will make Hearthstone a top choice among multifamily product in the immediate area.”
The partnership continues to focus on investments in the multifamily sector across the United States, with a focus on value-add opportunities that arise as pricing resets occur amid significant global macroeconomic pressures.
