“Denver is getting a lot of attention from National and International investment groups” said Mr. Morkes.  “It was a quick marketing process but we still received over ten offers from investment groups head-quartered across the U.S. and in Canada”

“We’re very happy with the Willowbrook purchase for our US Multifamily Fund I,” said Allan Okabe, Senior Vice President of Investments with Epic.  “This is our first multifamily investment in Colorado and we’re excited to grow our portfolio.” Epic aims to continue to acquire garden-style properties with value-add characteristics in select markets targeting strong demographics and durable employment, such as Denver, for its US Multifamily Fund.

“This was a great sale for our partners.  We were able to execute our business plan and exit the asset in a smooth transaction.” said Jeff Young, Principal with Summit Communities.

“Strong apartment fundamentals, low borrowing interest rates and record demand from investors for multifamily investments continue to make this an attractive time to sell.” added Mr. Stack.
