Hamilton Zanze Sells 432-Unit Apartment Community in the Phoenix Metro

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — San Francisco-based real estate investment company Hamilton Zanze (HZ) and joint venture partner Dome Equities, a private equity real estate investment firm, sold Gateway on Gilbert Apartments to Capital Real Estate, LLC on July 1, 2016 for an undisclosed price. ARA Newmark represented the sellers.

The 432-unit apartment community was built in 1985 and is located at 1710 S. Gilbert Road in Mesa, AZ, approximately 20 miles southeast of Downtown Phoenix and at the center of several business corridors.

“We executed on our value-add strategy at Gateway on Gilbert and were able to opportunistically sell the asset due to the strong Phoenix market,” says Kurt Houtkooper, HZ’s chief investment officer. “We look forward to a continued presence in this market.”

During an ownership period of almost three years, HZ implemented over $3 million in capital improvements, including 216 unit upgrades, an extensive roof replacement, and clubhouse remodel. The one- and two-bedroom units average 819 square feet and feature full-size washers and dryers, vaulted ceilings, fireplaces, ceiling fans, and walk-in closets. Community amenities include four swimming pools, fitness center, sports courts, dog park, and picnic and BBQ areas. At time of sale, occupancy was 96%.

HZ has sold 13 multifamily properties in 2016 thus far. Dome’s real estate portfolio totals nearly $1.27 billion, of which 94% are apartment properties located in 20 metropolitan areas in the United States.

Summary of the Disposition

• 432-unit Class B multifamily property built in 1985

• Located at 1710 S. Gilbert Road, in Mesa, AZ (Phoenix MSA)

• Undisclosed price
