Tucson V is a mortgage which will provide financing for the acquisition and renovation of a 5-asset portfolio, each property being a garden style apartment complex. The portfolio, constructed between 1974-1985, offers a significant value-add opportunity.
The Sponsor is an experienced operator with a focus on value-add, garden style multifamily. Strong rent growth is embedded in the deal, as the current, pre-renovated rents are below market at time of acquisition.
The properties benefit from Tucson’s positive in-migration and a diversified economy, supported by numerous higher-income and middle-income sectors.
The Tucson apartment market has historically outperformed the national apartment sector. Additionally, providing mortgage financing is an attractive value proposition and consistent with the REIT’s objective to provide durable income to investors.
