Multifamily Real Estate Company Acquires 500-Unit Apartment Community.

Minneapolis, MN, October 19, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Greystar is pleased to announce its acquisition of Park Place Apartments in Plymouth, a suburb of Minneapolis, MN. The company purchased the 500-unit apartment complex for $54.675 million from Invesco. This acquisition is the latest in Greystar’s continuously expanding national multifamily platform. Currently, Greystar owns 58 properties in 25 markets with 17 different partners.

“This property is situated in a well-developed area surrounded by major employers, outdoor attractions, shopping and entertainment, and is served by an excellent school district,” said Kevin Kaberna, Managing Director of Investments at Greystar. “Park Place Apartments will undergo modest capital improvements to continue to maximize rents and occupancy, providing solid returns to our investors. Greystar is optimistic on the fundamentals of Minneapolis and will continue to seek out quality investment opportunities in the area.”

Greystar focuses on investments where it can drive value through strategic, operational and physical enhancements, and is aggressively pursuing acquisitions across the country. Greystar’s national platform provides a stable operating presence and effective analysis of relative value across all markets, enabling well-timed entries and exits from investments and markets.

“Greystar is committed to providing the best possible living environment for our residents,” said Kaberna. “On the property’s exterior, we will focus on improving the landscaping, implementing trail enhancements, painting, and upgrading amenities for residents. In addition, we will renovate building entries, enhance common areas, and convert unused space into on-site storage. Finally, we are planning a full Polybutelene piping replacement along with pool updates and repairs.”
