DURANGO, CO – Olympus Property has strengthened its presence in Durango, Colorado, with the acquisition of Confluence at Three Springs, a 171-unit, Class A apartment community located within the highly sought-after Three Springs master-planned development. Built in 2016, the property delivers a modern, lifestyle-oriented living experience in one of Colorado’s most supply-constrained housing markets.
This transaction represents Olympus’ second acquisition in the Durango market and advances the firm’s strategy of concentrating investment in submarkets where it maintains operational scale and local expertise. With Rocket Pointe under management since 2021, Olympus is positioned to drive operational efficiencies, leverage regional synergies, and enhance asset performance across both properties. The firm’s vertically integrated platform will support streamlined execution, long-term value creation, and compelling returns.
Durango’s substantial affordability gap, where median home values exceed $730,000 and renters enjoy a $4,000+ monthly cost advantage, alongside a 19% rent-to-income ratio at Confluence, reinforces the property’s appeal as a high-quality, attainable housing option in a high-barrier market.
“Durango has consistently demonstrated healthy supply-demand fundamentals, with strong rent-to-income dynamics and enduring appeal as both a lifestyle and workforce destination,” said John Vu, Director of Acquisitions at Olympus Property. “The acquisition of Confluence reflects our strategic interest in high-barrier, high-quality markets where our local presence and operational depth position us to deliver durable results. The strength of the Three Springs master plan and the property’s connectivity to major employers and outdoor amenities make it an ideal long-term investment for our portfolio.”
Confluence is situated near Mercy Regional Medical Center and Fort Lewis College, two of the area’s primary economic anchors, and benefits from proximity to year-round tourism, recreational assets, and ongoing public and private investment. The planned Mesa Park development will further strengthen this ecosystem, adding an events center, amphitheater, and expanded regional trail network by 2027.

ANN ARBOR, MI – Landmark Properties, a fully-integrated real estate firm specializing in development, construction, investment management, and operation of high-quality residential communities, has partnered with Manulife Investment Management (Manulife IM) to construct The Metropolitan on South U, a 259-unit student housing community at 1208 South University Ave. This project represents the sixth project in a build-to-core joint venture executed with the Manulife Infrastructure Fund pool.
Construction will begin imminently. Landmark Construction, the in-house general contractor for Landmark Properties, will build the project with Myefski Architects serving as architect. Peninsula Investments also partnered on the project, adding to their investments across Landmark’s portfolio of student housing communities.
“We are excited to move forward with construction on The Metropolitan on South U and bring much needed housing to the Ann Arbor market as enrollment growth at the University of Michigan remains steady,” said Jason Doornbos, Chief Development Officer of Landmark Properties. “The well-located community is poised to add renewed vibrancy to the university ecosystem in Ann Arbor.”
The Metropolitan on South U is steps from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, the Michigan Diag, and a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. Fully furnished residences will feature quartz countertops, hardwood-style laminate floors, stainless steel appliances, in-unit laundry, and will come prewired for internet and cable access.
“We are proud to expand our partnership with Landmark with this development at the University of Michigan, supported by strong local market fundamentals and a premier location adjacent to campus,” said Jonathan Kimball, Associate Director at Manulife IM.
“We are excited to partner with Landmark on our second development at the University of Michigan, and ninth in 2025. Its proximity to Ross School of Business makes it an ideal location within Ann Arbor, a market with strong market fundamentals,” said Juan Fernando Valdivieso, Managing Director of Peninsula Investments.
Community amenities will include a well-appointed clubhouse, modern fitness center, resort-style pool and rooftop lounge with a variety of seating options. The Metropolitan will also include approximately 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space.

DENVER, CO – Security Properties, the leading real estate investment firm in the Pacific Northwest, has acquired Rosemont West 84th, a 300-unit garden-style community in Federal Heights, Colorado, for $51,025,000. The purchase marks the firm’s eighth market-rate acquisition of 2025, pushing year-to-date deployment to nearly $700 million and reinforcing its position as one of the most active multifamily buyers in the country this year.
Located eight miles north of Downtown Denver, Rosemont West 84th offers direct access to I-25 and U.S. 36, connecting residents to major employment centers in Denver, Boulder, and the Interlocken Business Park. The property includes a diverse mix of studios, one-bedrooms, lofts, two-bedrooms, and townhomes, with nearly 90% of units already renovated with upgraded finishes and modern features.
Security Properties originally acquired Rosemont in 2017 and sold it in 2021 during a period of peak pricing. Regaining ownership at approximately one-third below its 2021 sale price and more than 50% below replacement cost underscores the firm’s disciplined investment approach and ability to act quickly when market conditions create rare, high-value opportunities.
“This acquisition highlights our ability to move decisively when we identify opportunities that align with our long-term investment philosophy,” said Mark Bates, Chief Investment Officer at Security Properties. “Our familiarity with Rosemont and deep knowledge of the Denver market allowed us to underwrite the opportunity with precision — a capability our investors and partners consistently rely on.”
The acquisition also expands Security Properties’ long-standing presence in the Denver region, which the firm first entered in 2010. Rosemont becomes the 13th property the company has owned in the metro. While overall investor interest in Denver has softened, Security Properties remains bullish based on historical performance, strong in-place demand drivers, and a sharply constrained supply pipeline. The Federal Heights submarket is among the tightest in the region, with just 313 new multifamily units delivered within a three-mile radius since 2019 and no current market-rate construction, a dynamic that supports long-term rent stability.
“Even as Denver moves through a period of normalization, its long-term fundamentals remain compelling,” Bates said. “A young, highly educated workforce, a widening affordability gap between renting and owning, and a notable slowdown in new supply point to sustained demand for well-located rental housing. We believe this is exactly the right moment to lean in.”
The acquisition reflects Security Properties’ broader strategy of expanding across key growth markets with a disciplined and focused approach. The firm’s relationships, regional expertise, and ability to provide executional certainty continue to highlight the firm’s unmatched sourcing and underwriting capabilities, especially in competitive or complex transaction environments.
“Our integrated team and decades of experience allow us to uncover and execute on opportunities that generate strong long-term outcomes,” Bates said. “We’re committed to growing our presence in Denver with the same thoughtful, disciplined approach that has defined our success in the Pacific Northwest.”

The acquisition of Dockside and Flatiron underscores GMH’s commitment to investing in high-quality, well-located assets within fundamentally strong markets.”
“AEW is thrilled to expand its student housing portfolio in partnership GMH,” said Adam Schwank, portfolio manager and managing director at AEW Capital Management. “Dockside and Flatiron exemplify the attributes we seek in high-performing student housing assets: modern construction, generous common area spaces for students and prime locations adjacent to growing Power 4 universities.”
The 633-bed Dockside community will be rebranded as The Cove at Clemson, offering a premier lakefront setting with direct access to Lake Hartwell. In Baton Rouge, the 293-bed Flatiron community is recognized as one of the market’s few pedestrian-oriented housing options, offering convenience just steps from the LSU campus.
The off-campus, purpose-built student housing markets at Clemson and LSU continue to experience a demand driven by growing university enrollments and a desire for quality off-campus housing. Through this partnership, GMH and AEW aim to further enhance the living experience for students by creating environments that foster both academic and social success.

DALLAS, TX – Ashcroft Capital, a fully integrated multifamily investment firm, announced its acquisition of Birchstone Cedar Ridge, a luxury garden-style community in Dallas built in 2024. Ashcroft’s affiliate property management arm, Birchstone Residential, is now providing services for the residents of the community.

With our strong presence in the Metroplex, Birchstone Cedar Ridge will also benefit from our economies of scale and operational efficiencies in the area.”
“We are proud to continue our relationship with our valued joint venture partners through the acquisition of Birchstone Cedar Ridge,” said Stephen Quazzo, CEO and co-founder of Pearlmark. “This is truly a best-in-class asset that offers a unique resident experience in this submarket. With the experience and expertise that Ashcroft and Birchstone Residential have in the Dallas-Fort Worth market and their dedication to premium resident service, we believe this property will perform extremely well.”
In addition to Texas, Ashcroft owns communities throughout Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. The company is actively pursuing additional markets in the Sun Belt.

The company expects to welcome its first residents in April 2027, and construction completion is projected for early 2028.

Located at the northeast corner of Newnan Crossing Boulevard and Newnan Crossing Court, the 28.6-acre community will include six residential buildings in one-, two-, and three-bedroom configurations.

This strong population growth has led to a shortage of housing options for new residents, making Wrenly a great addition to the Newnan market.

HYATTSVILLE, MD – EJF Capital, a global alternative asset management firm with approximately $5.6 billion of assets under management, announced the completion of construction at The Bellevue, a 361-unit, multifamily development located in Hyattsville, Maryland.

Orlando continues to post exceptional job and population growth, fueled by its robust leisure and hospitality sector, said Steven Iannaccone, managing principal, Halstatt Real Estate Partners.

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.

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.
