“The opportunity to acquire this portfolio and add another 1,200 apartment units to our holdings in Las Vegas is the result of a strategic effort between CRA and Roxborough.

We want to embrace the Las Vegas community and hope it will appreciate a conscientious owner that values its residents and their living needs,” David Snyder, chairman of Continental Realty Advisors, said in a prepared statement.

The Portfolio is the second acquisition for the partnership in Las Vegas, they closed on Turtle Creek Apartments in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson in November of 2015. The Property was recently rebranded as “Tesoro Ranch” and has experienced significant rental growth upon completion of its common area upgrades.  The business plan for the Portfolio calls for a light renovation of units and a full common area upgrade in order to capitalize on the rent growth in the market and growing demand. The renovation will bring the properties in-line with their competitive set within each submarket.
