SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bentall Kennedy announced today that it has acquired Ultris at Banyan Grove, a 288 unit apartment complex located in Virginia Beach, VA as part of its continued investment strategy on behalf of Warba Bank K.S.C.P. This marks the second investment this year that Bentall Kennedy has made as Warba Bank’s real estate investment advisor.
The Ultris at Banyan Grove is a Class A, multifamily community comprised of 13 buildings with 288 units. Built in 2003, this apartment community boasts spacious floor plans and a full spectrum of community amenities. Centrally located in Virginia Beach, Ultris at Banyan Grove provides convenient access to beachfront and many of the employment centers throughout Hampton Roads.
“Ultris at Banyan Grove provided an opportunity to acquire a multifamily asset in a market with low volatility and strong rental fundamentals.
