Texas Private REIT Acquires 28 Casita-style communities with 426 Units in Tucson for $91.25 Million

TUCSON, ARIZONA — HZ Properties (Ike Isaacson of KDI Management, manager) sold a 426 casitas in 28 properties portfolio in Tucson for $91.25 million ($214,000 per unit) to a Texas REIT, Commerce Capital Partners (ComCapp) of San Antonio.

ComCapp is a private real estate investment and management firm focused on multifamily that actively searches out opportunities with value-add components, little or no competition, and undercapitalized ownership structures in markets that have long-term growth potential.

Most of the rental homes have amenities you would expect to find in a single-family residence, such as washer/dryer hook ups, covered parking, fenced backyards, and more.  The 1- and 2-bedroom casitas are tucked away in 28 lush communities located around Tucson.
