The Denver-based investment manager is continuing its value-add strategy of acquiring high-quality apartment communities in select U.S. markets with favorable demographics, affordability conditions and improving supply-and-demand fundamentals.
The new vehicle follows Griffis Premium Apartment Fund VI, which raised $525 million, and builds on the firm's more than 40 years of multifamily investment and operating experience. Ian Griffis, chairman and co-CEO of Griffis Residential, said the firm was grateful for continued investor support and that the current environment presents an excellent opportunity to acquire Class A multifamily assets at severely discounted prices.
