Lafayette, Ind.
Trinitas Ventures LLC (“Trinitas”), a premier owner, investor, developer and builder of student housing, multi-family and mixed-use communities, announced today that it has closed on the acquisition of the property located at 707 S. Forest Avenue, Tempe, Arizona, near Arizona State University (“ASU”). The company plans to develop a high-rise multi-family housing and retail development located immediately northwest of ASU’s main campus and within walking distance of shopping, dining and ASU’s athletics facilities.

The 530 bed, campus adjacent development will feature urban style apartments comprised of studio, one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units. The centrally located project will feature street level retail with structured parking on floors 2 through 5 and residential units on floors 6 through 19. The 20th floor will feature resident amenities including pool, fitness, and collaboration spaces, and the rooftop will feature an open air skydeck. Given the site’s proximity to downtown, Mill Avenue and the ASU campus, the project will provide a style of living that appeals to a broad range of residents who desire a centrally located and walkable lifestyle.

Equity financing has been provided by a joint venture between Trinitas and Harrison Street, a leading investment management firm exclusively focused on the Education, Healthcare and Storage Sectors. The project represents the seventeenth development for the Trinitas/Harrison Street partnership and the seventeenth joint venture. Justin Gronlie, Director and Head of Education Real Estate at Harrison Street stated, “We are excited to continue our relationship and invest in another development with Trinitas. The Arizona State area has a strong housing market which will benefit from Trinitas’ development and operational expertise, and this project is well positioned to thrive in the market.”

Construction financing has been provided by PNC Bank. “We are pleased to continue our relationships with Harrison Street and PNC,” stated Loren King, Chief Executive Officer of Trinitas. “Our strategic partnerships with both Harrison Street and PNC have been very successful in the past and enabled us to quickly close on this exciting opportunity and hit the ground running for a 2021 opening.”
