WhiteHaven Capital plans to work with property management firm Shelton Residential to renovate and rebrand the community, adding new amenities that the company says are not currently available in the submarket. The site is located about 9 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix.
The deal marks WhiteHaven Capital’s third acquisition in the Phoenix metro area in the past year, as the company targets a portfolio of about 1,000 units in the market by 2020. The investment firm picked up South Mountain Square, a 117-unit community at 1630 East Baseline Road in Phoenix, for $10.8 million in February.
That acquisition followed the purchase of Silver Tree, a 98-unit community at 4336 N. 35th Ave., for $8.2 million in August 2018. WhiteHaven Capital specializes in acquiring underperforming, Class B and C properties that need renovations.
