Apartment Market Shows Staying Power

Investors in the past week have closed on two separate purchases of apartment complexes in the Denver region and Washington—for a total of $324 million—in the latest sign of the surprising endurance of the multifamily sector. A venture including the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and Allstate Life Insurance Co. bought a $229 million portfolio of 1,514 units in Denver, Aurora, Colo., and Renton, Wash. Radco Cos., an Atlanta-based real-estate investment firm, acquired a $95 million apartment complex with 512 units in the Lakewood suburb of Denver. Rental apartment buildings were among the first types of commercial properties to rebound after the recession.
