Hamilton Zanze Acquires Westminster’s Environs Residential Rental Community

DENVER, Colo. – August 17, 2018 – Real estate investment firm Hamilton Zanze (HZ) has acquired Environs Residential Rental Community in Westminster, Colorado. The $82 million purchase closed August 31st.

The unique community is spread across 33 acres of land and had a most recent occupancy rate of 92% at the time of sale. Offering 318 rental units, the community is a mix of market-rate single-family houses, patio homes, townhomes, and condominiums. The purchase brings the firm’s total Colorado portfolio to 15 properties, with nine of those in the Metro Denver area.

“Environs presented an opportunity to buy a great asset in a strong submarket,” said David Nelson, managing director of acquisitions for Hamilton Zanze. “With all of the demand for single-family homes today, we believe this property’s unique mix of condominiums, townhomes, patio homes, and houses will appeal to a wide renter pool around the region.”

Built in 1984, Environs Residential Rental Community is located at 3323 W 96th Circle in Westminster. The community is designed around a lush landscape, with easy walkability in mind. Its 383,653 net leasable square feet includes numerous amenities including an updated clubhouse, a 24-7 fitness center, two pools, a basketball court, and outdoor barbecue areas.

HZ purchased the property from Seagate, who owned it for four years. Select units have been upgraded with black or stainless-steel appliances, new cabinetry, new lighting packages, refinished countertops, and new vinyl plank flooring. HZ plans to undertake similar upgrades to the remaining 119 units. Property management responsibilities will be transitioned to Mission Rock Residential, HZ’s Denver-based affiliate.

The Metro Denver market is home to one of the nation’s most educated workforces and a diverse industry mix that include the aerospace, healthcare, technology, and manufacturing sectors. Westminster, a northwest suburb of Denver just 10 miles from the Colorado State Capitol, is the seventh most populous city in Colorado. The community is located along the U.S. 36 Tech Corridor and is well-positioned to attract both the Denver and Boulder workforce populations.
