“All Pro Capital’s purchase of the Village at Lionstone will continue our expansion within a strong apartment market,” said Brian Bahr, president of All Pro Capital. “This $28.1 million acquisition provides our investors the benefit of participating in a large, income-producing asset that wouldn’t otherwise be available to small investors. It fits our investment objectives and will deliver a great return. We were also glad to continue our relationship with the manager, Griffis Blessing, who has done great work for us in the past. This was our first transaction with CBRE. Their expertise and professionalism were invaluable, and we look forward to working with them on future projects as well.”
