Kennedy Wilson had a 50% ownership in the 260-unit property that was acquired alongside a joint-venture partner in 2010.
Since 2010, Kennedy Wilson increased net operating income at Bay Village by 121%, resulting in a pre-tax gain on sale of $20 million to Kennedy Wilson.
“This sale enables us to recycle capital into other strategic investment opportunities that we plan to close this month,” said Kurt Zech, President of Kennedy Wilson’s multifamily division. “We are proud of the value-add program we implemented at this well-located property that has benefited from its proximity to job centers and schools, as well as the continued strong demand for attainable rental housing in the North Bay.”

The collection of one- and two-bedroom apartment homes across 41 two-story buildings on 18.5 acres was originally built in 1988 and has undergone significant improvements, including exterior renovations and unit upgrades under Kennedy Wilson’s ownership.
