Strategic Off-Market Acquisition Strengthens Sagard Real Estate’s Presence in Key Arizona Market
Sagard Real Estate, formerly known as EverWest Real Estate Investors, a leading real estate investment advisor, announces the acquisition of a premier Class A multifamily property located at 701 W Rio Salado Parkway in Tempe, Arizona. This strategic acquisition aligns with Sagard Real Estate’s commitment to expanding its portfolio with high-quality assets in key growth markets.
“Our recent acquisition of this Class A property in Tempe is a testament to our ongoing strategy of identifying and securing premium assets in markets with strong demand drivers,” said John Bezouska, Vice President, Acquisitions at Sagard Real Estate. “We continue to seek both mid-rise and garden apartments in major metro areas in the US with unique value propositions. The Tempe market, with its vibrant community and proximity to major employment centers, provides an excellent opportunity for long-term value creation for our investors.”
The newly acquired property, built in 2019, consists of 209 units and offers a range of modern amenities, including a full pool deck, rooftop lounge, and outdoor courtyards. The property, which spans 3.2 acres, also features 375 parking spaces and is situated less than a mile from downtown Tempe and Arizona State University. Its prime location provides strong connectivity to key urban centers while offering a high-quality residential experience.
The Tempe submarket is recognized for its strong growth momentum. Driven by the presence of Arizona State University and a growing tech and finance sector, there continues to be robust demand and sustained tenant interest in well-located, high-quality assets within the Tempe market.
Steve Nikoluzakis & David Fogler of Cushman and Wakefield facilitated the off-market transaction, reflecting Sagard Real Estate’s ability to identify and secure high-caliber investments while avoiding the bid-auction market. The Tempe property complements the firm's growing multifamily portfolio and is expected to contribute significantly to long-term performance.
