Balfour Beatty Communities Acquires Three Apartment Communities in South Alabama Market

GULF SHORES, AL - Balfour Beatty Communities, a national residential real estate investment and management company responsible for the ownership and operation of more than $6 billion in multifamily assets, announced the acquisition of three garden style apartment communities in south Alabama.

The properties include Park Place, a 144-unit community in Foley; Summer Trace, 104-unit community in Gulf Shores; and Windscape, a 72-unit community in Daphne. Balfour Beatty Communities plans to upgrade common areas and perform in-unit renovations in order to reposition the assets within each submarket.

Balfour Beatty Communities acquired the portfolio through a joint venture with ApexOne Investment Partners, a Houston-based real estate investment firm, on behalf of the ApexOne Growth & Income Fund I. Balfour Beatty Communities will self-perform all property management services through its Multifamily Division.

"We’re very pleased to continue to execute on our growth strategy with the acquisition of Park Place, Summer Trace and Windscape—our first assets in Alabama," said Chris Williams, president of Balfour Beatty Communities. "These properties present significant upside potential and we look forward to bringing both renovations and service improvements that will enhance the resident experience and overall asset value."
