Halstatt Real Estate Partners Completes Acquisition of 248-Unit Cypress Run Apartment Community in High-Growth Orlando Corridor

ORLANDO, FL – Halstatt Real Estate Partners, a real estate private equity firm, announced the acquisition of Cypress Run, a multifamily community located in Orlando, Fla. The property was acquired in partnership with GoldOller Real Estate Investments, a long-standing Halstatt partner.
Cypress Run represents an opportunity to acquire a well-maintained asset in one of Orlando s fastest-growing corridors at an attractive basis, said Steven Iannaccone, managing principal, Halstatt Real Estate Partners. The property benefits from durable demand drivers, limited new supply within the submarket, and a business plan that allows us to thoughtfully enhance the community while further positioning the asset within its competitive set.
Located in East Orlando, Cypress Run is near several of the region s most significant long-term economic drivers, including Orlando International Airport s ongoing $6 billion expansion and the 650-acre Lake Nona Medical City. The submarket has experienced limited new multifamily supply in recent years and continues to benefit from demand driven by the area s growing healthcare, education, and service-oriented workforce. The partnership plans to implement a value-add renovation program focused primarily on interior upgrades, including new appliances, countertops, and updated finishes and fixtures.
This marks another investment between Halstatt and GoldOller, which manages more than 40,000 apartment units across 10 states and maintains a significant operational presence throughout Orlando. The firms have previously partnered on the SunMeadows Portfolio and the recent acquisition of Isles at East Millenia.
Halstatt Real Estate Partners invests in value-add and opportunistic real estate projects across Florida, Texas, and the Southeast, partnering with experienced sponsors to reposition assets and strengthen portfolio performance. In addition to its multifamily investments, Halstatt has been an early mover in the build-to-rent sector, with seven projects totaling more than 1,350 units across Florida, Texas, and Ohio.

Advanced Real Estate Completes Acquisition of Rowland Heights Apartment Community in California’s Fast Growing San Gabriel Valley

IRVINE, CA – Advanced Real Estate has acquired the 126-unit Casa La Paz apartment community in Rowland Heights, California. The property has been rebranded as “The Rowland” and will undergo a comprehensive renovation program, including exterior improvements, upgraded interiors, and enhanced community amenities.
The acquisition marks the fifth property acquired in the past eight months by their most recent Investment Fund, Advanced Fund 24-3. The other properties include two luxury apartment towers totaling 393 units in Hollywood as well as 138 units in West Covina and 104 units in Santa Ana. The Hollywood acquisition in late April was the largest apartment purchase made by any firm so far this year in Southern California. Advanced’s portfolio now includes over 13,000 apartment units in Southern California with a market value of $5 billion.
Originally developed as a long-term, family-owned asset, The Rowland was acquired utilizing Advanced’s unique 721 tax-deferred “exchange and contribution” structure. Through this process, the former ownership group contributed the property into the fund in exchange for partnership interests in Advanced Fund 24-3. Some of those partners in the seller’s partnership preferred a cash payout, which Advanced provided at closing.
“Many apartment owners want to preserve equity and defer taxes while still transitioning away from the inherent risks of ownership as well as the day-to-day management responsibilities,” said Richard Julian, CEO of Advanced Real Estate. “Our structure allows owners to contribute their property into a solid and diversified institutional-quality portfolio while maintaining investment participation for the long term. It’s a strategy we’ve successfully implemented across numerous acquisitions.”
Located in the San Gabriel Valley, The Rowland benefits from strong regional demographics, proximity to major employment centers, and convenient access to retail, dining, and transportation corridors. Advanced plans to execute a comprehensive value-add renovation strategy designed to modernize the community and enhance the resident experience.
“Rowland Heights represents a highly desirable suburban Southern California rental market because of its central location and strong long-term fundamentals,” said Paul Julian, President of Advanced Real Estate and Richard’s son. “We see substantial upside by repositioning this property through thoughtful renovations and professional management while creating long-term value for both residents and investors.”
Property management will be handled in-house by Advanced Management Company (AMC), while renovations will be administered through Advanced’s affiliated construction company, R3 Construction Services.

Sagard Real Estate Expands Portfolio with Acquisition of 222-Unit Terra at Monroe Apartment Community in Seattle Market

SEATTLE, WA – Sagard Real Estate (SRE), a leading U.S.-based real estate investment advisor and subsidiary of Sagard, a global multi-strategy alternative asset management firm, announced the acquisition of 18463 Blueberry Lane, a 222-unit garden-style multifamily community in Monroe, Washington, within the greater Seattle metro area.
The investment was made on behalf of Sagard Real Estate s recently launched core-plus open-end fund, which targets seaport/last-mile industrial, workforce rental housing, and other niche property sub-sectors in supply-constrained, high-growth markets.
Located in Monroe, a growing suburb within the Seattle metro, the area benefits from strong demographic trends, relative affordability compared to core Eastside submarkets, and access to major employment hubs including Everett, Bellevue, Redmond, and downtown Seattle. The submarket s population growth, coupled with a constrained supply base with limited new construction, continues to support healthy occupancy levels.
The Monroe acquisition aligns well with our fund strategy, targeting submarkets supported by strong workforce rental demand and favorable market fundamentals, said John Maurer, Head of Equity at Sagard Real Estate and Senior Portfolio Manager. We believe this asset is favorably positioned to benefit from a structural need for a lower cost of housing while drafting off higher rents in the urban corridor, added Tyler Williams, Co-Portfolio Manager at Sagard Real Estate.
Built in 1991, the property spans approximately 10.4 acres and consists of 20 buildings totaling 222 units, along with a standalone clubhouse and amenity space. Amenities include a fitness center, swimming pool, clubhouse, outdoor grilling areas, and landscaped open space. SRE plans to upgrade a portion of the units which remain in original condition.
The transaction further expands the fund s diversified residential portfolio and Sagard Real Estate s presence in the Pacific Northwest, underscoring conviction in high-growth suburbs of major coastal markets.
