Tailwind Group and its partners are pleased to announce two recent student housing acquisitions: South Duff Apartments in Ames, IA and The View in Lincoln, NE. Both assets successfully closed on May 26th and represent the second and third student housing acquisitions for Tailwind Group in 2022. Both properties were purchased from RCLCO and the deals were brokered by Randall Calvert of TSB Realty.
South Duff Apartments is a 490-bedroom, garden-style community located adjacent to Iowa State University. It will join The Quarters Ames as the second property owned and managed by Tailwind Group in the Iowa State market.
The View is a 590-bedroom, garden-style community located near the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. It will join LivRed as the second property owned and managed by Tailwind Group in the Nebraska market.
“Both assets fit very well in our value-add portfolio. They have stable occupancies, are in markets we believe in, and have excellent on-site management teams. We believe that injecting our management and leasing strategies along with completing needed capital improvements over the next 3-5 years, these two properties will provide stable returns and valuations will increase,” said Brandon Smith, Vice President of Operations & Development for Tailwind Group.
Tailwind Group is a top-20 owner and operator of off-campus student housing in the country. They own and manage over 12,500 bedrooms in 13 different states and employ over 200 team members.
