Greenwood Plaza

Greenwood Plaza, a 266-unit community located in Centennial, Colo. changed hands. Waterton acquired the property from Starwood Capital Group. The sale price was undisclosed, however, according to Yardi Matrix, the asset became subject to a $46,5 million loan, held by Freddie Mac.

Built in 1996 and located at 7610 E. Caley Ave., the community consists of 14 buildings with one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 725 to 1,330 square feet. Interior amenities include fully-equipped gourmet kitchens with stainless appliances, private balconies, and nine-foot ceilings. Common area features include a clubhouse, a media room, a business center, a fitness center, heated swimming pool, hot tub, free Wi-Fi and an outdoor grilling area.

The company plans to renovate 166 units, after the previous owner partially renovated 100. As part of the improvement plan, Waterton intends to add new flooring in kitchens and living areas, as well as carpeting in bedrooms.
