PhoenixWestern Wealth Capital, a Canada-based multi-unit rental property investment firm, has announced the acquisition of Amber Gardens, a 164-unit apartment community in Tempe, Ariz. The company purchased the asset from San Diego-based United Development Group at a price tag of $17 million, which equates to $130,000 per unit.

The building is in close proximity to Arizona State University’s main campus and Tempe’s Mill Ave. “Amber Gardens’ proximity to Arizona State University and Tempe’s optimistic job growth, especially in the technology sector, makes this acquisition a big win for Western Wealth Capital,” Janet LePage, founder of Western Wealth Capital, said in a prepared statement.
