D-FW apartments sell to Lone Star Funds

More than 9,000 rental units are included in the latest sale to the Dallas investor.

Lone Star Funds is continuing its apartment-buying binge with a purchase of 46 rental properties.

The Dallas-based investor acquired more than 9,200 apartments in 17 Sunbelt markets from affiliates of Dallas’ Transcontinental Realty Investors and Australia’s Macquarie Capital.

“This is an attractive opportunity to acquire a large-scale, diversified portfolio of newer vintage, well-located and well-maintained multi-family properties across the Sunbelt,” Lone Star Funds’ André Collin said in a statement. “The portfolio’s properties are located in attractive growth markets that we expect to benefit from continued, strong secular trends, including business relocations, population growth and in-migration and strong income growth.”
