TODAY’S DEALS: Olympus Snaps Up ‘Rare’ Phoenix Opportunity
An investor buys next to Arizona's "best kept secret," and CityView completes a hat-trick of L.A. sales. Also, Hamilton Point acquires a property at well-below replacement cost.
Phoenix—Olympus Property is at it again. Just two weeks after acquiring a 624-unit luxury asset in Houston, the investor has closed on a newly-built, Class A property in Phoenix. Completed in 2014, Cactus Forty-2 sits on 4.5-acres in Phoenix’s Paradise Valley adjacent to Stonecreek Golf Club (which the Golf Channel named Arizona’s “best kept secret”).
“Cactus Forty-2 is a property that rarely becomes available in the Phoenix market and we could not be happier to be expanding our portfolio into the Paradise Valley area of Phoenix,” said Olympus co-founder Anthony Wonderly.
Amenities at the property include a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, clubhouse, fitness center, covered parking and gated entry.
