ATLANTA, GA – Forum Investment Group, a private real estate investment management firm, announced the recent acquisition of The Indigo, a newly delivered Class A, 168-unit multifamily community located in Canton, Georgia. The transaction marks Forum s first real estate acquisition in nearly five years and reflects the firm s disciplined approach to deployment and conviction that current market conditions present compelling opportunities for long-term investors.
The Indigo is situated in one of metro Atlanta s most affluent and rapidly growing submarkets, offering residents convenient access to major employment centers, top-tier schools, and a diverse mix of retail and lifestyle amenities. The property features modern design, efficient floorplans, and a comprehensive amenity package that positions it competitively within a submarket experiencing limited new supply.
Key investment highlights include:
Strategic Location: Canton and Cherokee County continue to benefit from strong in-migration, robust household incomes, and expanding employment corridors—all supporting durable long-term renter demand.
High-Quality, New Construction: Delivered recently with Class A finishes and contemporary design, the property requires minimal near-term capital investment and compares favorably to older assets in the area.
Attractive Basis: Elevated interest rates have contributed to near-term pricing dislocation, creating an opportunity to acquire a high-quality asset below replacement cost.
Supportive Market Dynamics: Renter demand in the region remains strong while new supply is slowing—conditions that increasingly favor well-capitalized owners.
We have been patient—by design—waiting for market conditions that align with our cycle-tested investment philosophy, said Darren Fisk, Forum Founder & CEO. Today s environment, shaped by resilient fundamentals, temporarily depressed values, and selective dislocation, represents exactly the type of moment we are built to act on. The acquisition of The Indigo reflects the kinds of opportunities we expect to see more of as the market continues to transition.

IRVINE, CA – Advanced Real Estate has acquired the Newhope Village apartments, adding to its more than 12,000-unit portfolio in Southern California. The gated, podium-style property features a host of amenities, including a pool, fitness center and tot-lot. Advanced retired a $9.5 million HUD loan and ultimately plans to place debt on the property, providing even more capital to its $100 million+ fund.

“We were able to acquire this property through a 721 contribution, which allowed a tax-deferred transaction for the family who owned it,” said Paul Julian, Rick’s son and President of Advanced. “They are now partners in our fund and diversified among the other assets.”
Advanced’s investment offerings are open to the company’s friends and family network, which has now grown to over 1,000 investors. “We are always open to welcoming new investors either through cash and retirement investments or through a contribution of their property, like in this case with Newhope Village,” said Rick Julian.
