Kennedy Wilson Investment Management Platform Acquires 700 Units Across Two Multifamily Communities for $166 Million
BEVERLY HILLS, CA – A real estate fund managed by Kennedy Wilson has acquired, in separate transactions, Tides on Commerce – a 336-unit apartment community in North Las Vegas, Nevada, and Finisterra – a 356-unit apartment community in Tempe, Arizona, for a total of $166 million, excluding closing costs.
The fund invested a total of $61 million of equity in these transactions. The low-density, garden-style apartment properties offer a diverse mix of unit sizes and plentiful amenities.
The two acquisitions contribute to Kennedy Wilson s growing multifamily portfolio with ownership interest in nearly 40,000 units.
These acquisitions reflect our team s ability to leverage our local expertise and source attractive investment opportunities at a discount to replacement cost, said Kurt Zech, President of Kennedy Wilson s multifamily division. Both communities are located in markets emerging from a period of elevated deliveries and concessions and entering a period of strong economic growth with minimal new supply. We are excited to build on Kennedy Wilson s long-held strategy of identifying and improving high-quality communities that provide relative affordability in burgeoning markets with the support of our strategic partners.
North Las Vegas was the second fastest-growing city in Nevada from 2020–2023 and is projected to grow nearly twice as fast as the broader Las Vegas region over the next five years. Recent local job growth has been driven by a rapid expansion in the industrial and healthcare sectors, and residents of Tides on Commerce benefit from immediate access to major employment centers including Apex Industrial Park, VA Southern Nevada Hospital, and a growing cluster of medical and logistics facilities.
Finisterra is located in the South Tempe submarket, part of the highly desirable Kyrene School District and near many need-based retailers including Costco, Walmart, Lifetime Fitness, and Ikea, as well as numerous outdoor activities at the Tempe Sports Complex, South Mountain Trail, and Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Club. The property s convenient access to the 10 freeway enables residents to easily commute to employment hubs in Chandler (Intel, B of A, Wells Fargo, Northrup Grumman) and North Tempe (Arizona State University, State Farm, SRP).
Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 14% interest in the commingled fund that acquired the two properties and serves as asset manager.
