BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kennedy Wilson, a global real estate investment company, has partnered with Kenedix, Inc. and Hulic Co., Ltd. to acquire Carraway, a 421-unit multifamily community in West Harrison, New York, for $237 million. The acquisition further expands Kennedy Wilson’s investment management platform and deepens its relationship with long-standing Japanese partners Kenedix and Hulic.

Completed in 2021, the Class A property is located in Westchester County, approximately 25 miles north of Manhattan, and features a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom residences, structured parking and approximately 6,400 square feet of ground-floor retail space. Carraway features a highly amenitized living experience, including a resort-style pool, fitness center, coworking space and on-site retail, helping drive strong resident demand and retention.

“Carraway represents a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality, recently constructed multifamily community in one of the most desirable suburban markets in the New York metropolitan area.
