SACRAMENTO, CA – The Bascom Group, in partnership with funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management, has acquired The Strand, a 408-unit newly built institutional quality multifamily community located in the highly desirable submarket of West Sacramento, California. The purchase price was $126,000,000 or $308,824 per unit. Louis Friedel, Clay Akiwenze, and Hank Workman of Berkadia arranged the debt financing for the acquisition. Luke Goodwin and Alex Porter of Walton Street Capital, LLC provided the acquisition loan. The seller was represented by Berkadia’s investment sales team led by Jason Parr and Scott MacDonald. Sares Regis will provide property management services.
Built in 2021 by MBK Rental Living, The Strand is a recently built garden-style community with exceptional connectivity to Sacramento’s major economic drivers. The property is ideally situated within The Rivers community, a prestigious pocket of West Sacramento with $1m+ homes, river adjacent walking trails, and nearby retail. The Strand residents benefit from a unique combination of suburban living and a short 10-minute commute to the downtown urban core. The Strand’s 408 units are complemented by ample surface parking which is extremely rare given the communities proximity to the urban core. The unit mix includes 7% junior one-bedroom, 34% one-bedroom, 51% two-bedroom, and 7% three-bedroom units. The property’s most notable amenity offerings include two pools and spas, indoor and outdoor fitness centers, a clubhouse, a dog park, and EV charging stations.
“The acquisition of The Strand is an excellent opportunity to acquire a new construction, low density multifamily asset in a durable market with limited future supply and recent major institutional investment at an attractive in-place yield,” said Jim Singleton, SVP/Principal – Acquisitions. “The Strand currently competes with recently constructed suburban multifamily assets due to its high-end finishes, low density, and superior location. Bascom plans to utilize third party professional property management and complete minor upgrades.”
The Strand is well positioned to capitalize on favorable market conditions throughout the hold period. New multifamily deliveries in the Sacramento market are projected to significantly decrease and population growth is projected to remain steady. With a durable employment base and relative affordability, the Sacramento MSA attracts companies and individuals seeking a recession resistant environment. In addition to such attractive market conditions, recent and future institutional investment in the area suggests the area is poised for future growth.
Paul Diamond, Senior Principal for Bascom, states, “One of the standout advantages of The Strand is its proximity to Sacramento’s key economic drivers. Recent institutional investments within a 1.5-mile radius include the Sacramento Kings’ Golden 1 Arena, the brand new CalSTRS building, the Sacramento Railyards, Sutter Health Park, and the I Street Bridge replacement project. The Sacramento market continues to demonstrate attractive multifamily fundamentals, and we are excited to strengthen our footprint in one of California’s most economically robust regions.”
Jared Lazarus, managing director in Oaktree’s Real Estate Group, added, “Oaktree is committed to identifying value opportunities and being a source of strategic liquidity to sellers and operators during this period of continued dislocation in the real estate cycle. The Strand acquisition enables Oaktree to leverage its existing vast multifamily platform and expertise to bridge a high-quality, newly delivered asset in a growing market to stabilization with a strong existing partner in Bascom.”
The Bascom and Oaktree partnership began in 2014 with the purchase of The Springs, a 320-unit apartment complex in Corona, CA. Over the last ten years, Bascom and Oaktree have acquired 31 multifamily assets totaling 10,118 units and $1.5 billion in project cost across the US. Joe Ferguson, Acquisitions Manager for Bascom added, “We are excited to close another transaction with Oaktree. We feel the timing is right as the rapid increases in interest rates and softening market has resulted in value declines of 20-30% on existing multifamily properties with supply of new construction of apartments dramatically reduced.”

NEWPORT, NJ – New York-based real estate developer LeFrak completed the largest solar panel installation on a high-rise multifamily residential building in New Jersey. The Beach, a 336-unit rental tower in Jersey City’s waterfront Newport neighborhood, is now home to a 180kW, 450-panel rooftop system that will offset 13 percent of the building’s carbon emissions, equivalent to the carbon emitted by 179 acres of US forests in one year or removing 37 gasoline-powered cars from the road each year. In the last decade, LeFrak has invested well over $100 million in energy conservation and decarbonization measures throughout its national portfolio, including nearly $1 million to bring this installation to The Beach.
“LeFrak is committed to community development and promoting environmental sustainability,” said Charles Burton, Head of Community Relations for LeFrak. “We’re proud to offer New Jersey’s largest solar installation at a high-rise residential community. This initiative exemplifies our continued dedication to creating a well-rounded lifestyle for our Newport residents while doing our part to protect the environment. By integrating sustainable practices like this, we’re helping shape a greener future, not just for our buildings, but for the communities around us.”
“Newport’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint is a prime example of the smart, sustainable development we strive to achieve citywide,” said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop. “A solar panel installation of this size in Jersey City sets the standard for future projects across the state and country. Our thanks to Newport for leading by example as a forward-thinking community within our city.”
The new rooftop system offsets energy produced by electrical systems used in The Beach’s common area spaces, including those that power elevators and lighting, as well as cooling and ventilation in the building’s lobby and amenities. The innovative design of The Beach’s roof and the orientation of the building optimize the amount of solar power generated by the system. The system was installed by Sunkeeper Solar, a Brooklyn-based solar energy company.
“This is exactly what we should be seeing in Jersey City with the expansion of new high-rise residential development and the push for more sustainable development. Solar makes sense on multi-family buildings, and especially because Jersey City is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, projects like this should become the bar for new development. Going solar saves consumers money, reduces air pollution and creates a more resilient energy grid — solar is a double green amenity,” said Doug O’Malley, Director of Environment New Jersey.
As part of Jersey City’s waterfront Newport neighborhood, created by LeFrak and Simon in the 1980s, The Beach offers 336 studio to four-bedroom rental homes spread across two towers and a collection of thoughtful amenities including a coworking lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center and outdoor pool. The building reached 75 percent leased in just 10 weeks when it opened in 2021 and continues to resonate with renters looking for a full-service waterfront lifestyle. Newport is one of the most successful mixed-use master-planned developments in the country and represents a sought-after approach to urban living with its collection of high-quality residential developments, neighborhood-serving retail and plentiful outdoor amenities all situated along the Hudson River waterfront.
LeFrak continues to champion sustainability initiatives throughout their communities and developments across the country. Last year, LeFrak partnered with electric vehicle-sharing platform Envoy to offer Newport residents exclusive car-sharing benefits and access to a fleet of on-site electric vehicles, representing Envoy’s first expansion into New Jersey.
LeFrak’s sustainability efforts also stretch into Queens, New York, where the developer partnered with Blueprint Power to enhance energy efficiency at its 20-building residential development LeFrak City. Supported by a $3 million grant from NYSERDA, this initiative helped transform LeFrak City into a clean energy hub by integrating solar panels and over 150 EV charging stations. LeFrak also participated in New York State’s Empire Building Challenge, through which they completed a significant decarbonization of 59-17 Junction Boulevard, a 20-story commercial building in Queens. Valued at $19.7 million, the measures aim to reduce site energy use by over 33 percent, resulting in the overall reduction of onsite fossil fuels by 2035. This initiative highlights the intersection between decarbonization and resiliency, in which necessary upgrades can be leveraged to integrate low-carbon solutions and safeguard critical building systems from future climate impacts.

Kentucky is now the 20th state in Morgan Properties rapidly growing portfolio, solidifying the company s presence as a leader in multifamily and marking a strategic expansion into one of the Heartland region’s most promising markets.

These investments aim to enhance the property s curb appeal and deliver an exceptional living experience for residents.
Expanding into Kentucky is a natural extension of our robust footprint in neighboring states like Ohio and Indiana, said Jason Morgan, Co-President of Morgan Properties and President of Morgan Properties Special Situations. Blankenbaker Crossings presents a compelling opportunity to bring our proven professional management expertise and value-add repositioning strategies to a new, highly desirable market while capitalizing on Louisville s strong rent growth and economic stability.
