The Bascom Group completes its 11th buy for 2013; Greystone provides $24.3 million for a Louisiana rental; and Largo Group of Companies arranges financing for multifamily properties.
Las Vegas—The Bascom Group has acquired Eagle Crest Apartments, a 624-unt Class A garden-style community located at 5850 Sky Pointe Drive in Las Vegas. CBRE Group Inc. represented the seller in the transaction, and debt financing was provided by OneWest Bank and arranged by CBRE Capital Markets.
