KKR paid $2.1 billion for more than 5,200 apartment units across the country, from California and Texas to New Jersey, KKR said. The deal includes 18 new mid- and high-rise multifamily buildings.
KKR’s acquisition and other recent major purchases could indicate a growing confidence among large investors that rents and values for apartments will soon begin rising again. Rent is already starting to pick up in several Midwest and Northeast cities. In April, Blackstone agreed to pay $10 billion for the landlord Apartment Income REIT, while last month Brookfield bought a portfolio of 7,000 apartments for $1.55 billion.
