Bascom Arizona Ventures Expands Portfolio with $45.5 Million Tucson Acquisition

Bascom Arizona Ventures Expands Its Real Estate Presence

Bascom Arizona Ventures, a subsidiary of the prominent private equity firm The Bascom Group, has recently made headlines with its acquisition of the multifamily property Domain 3201 located in Tucson, Arizona. This strategic move comes as part of the firm's ongoing initiative to bolster its portfolio in the southwestern United States.

The purchased property, which consists of 289 residential units, was acquired for an impressive sum of $45.5 million, translating to approximately $157,439 per unit. This acquisition highlights Bascom's continued commitment to investing in high-potential real estate markets, further diversifying its asset base.

BrightSpire Capital Acquisitions provided the necessary debt financing for this purchase, with a team from Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) led by Brian Eisendrath, Cameron Chalfant, Ben Margolis, and Jesse Zarouk managing the arrangements. The off-market transaction was also facilitated and advised by IPA, ensuring a smooth process for both the buyer and seller.

Features of Domain 3201

Domain 3201 boasts a charming garden-style ambiance, constructed between 1985 and 1990. The property features various amenities designed to cater to modern living standards, promoting both productivity and leisure. Residents can enjoy three swimming pools, two spas, expansive green areas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a yoga studio, a clubhouse, and dedicated spaces for business activities as well as recreational sports, including pickleball.

Strategic Location

Strategically located near Interstate 10, Domain 3201 offers residents convenient access to prominent employment hubs, top-notch shopping districts, and vibrant dining and entertainment venues. One noteworthy landmark within a short distance is Tucson's first high-density urban village, Uptown, making this a desirable location for those seeking urban conveniences coupled with a peaceful living environment.

Future Improvements

With plans to enhance the property further, the new ownership aims to roll out a comprehensive capital improvement strategy. This initiative includes renovations to the clubhouse and leasing office, updates to the pool and spa areas, and significant upgrades to residential units. Joe Daiutolo, Acquisitions Manager at Bascom Arizona Ventures, expressed enthusiasm about the potential to enrich residents' experiences through these enhancements.

Daiutolo noted, "After the recent acquisition of Retreat at Speedway, we identified a ripe opportunity to expand in Tucson and are eager to deliver improved living experiences for our residents."

This transaction is also significant as it follows the company's acquisition of the Retreat at Speedway, another Tucson multifamily property, which was obtained for $53.4 million or $175,658 per unit. Both acquisitions align with Bascom's strategy of identifying and repositioning residential communities across the United States.
