RISE Properties Trust, a Canadian real estate trust based in Seattle, and Aegon Real Assets US, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Aegon N.V., a multinational life insurance, pensions and asset management company headquartered in the Netherlands, have purchased Bryson Square Apartments on Kent’s East Hill for $43.25 million.<\/p>\n

Bryson Square, 24006 108th Pl. S.E.<\/a>, was built in 1988 and has 198 units. Monthly rents range from $1,345 for a one bedroom to $2,014 for a three bedroom, two bath, according to brysonsquareapts.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

RISE just purchased Waterford at the Lakes Apartments in Kent for $83.2 million in May.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seen very strong growth in the Kent submarket, and particular improvement in the micro-location around Bryson Square,” said Jason Murray, a RISE investment manager, in a press release Tuesday. “With our continued confidence in the fundamentals of real estate market both locally and regionally, we see the opportunity as a great first venture between RISE and Aegon. “<\/p>\n

Bryson Square is approximately 25 minutes south from both Seattle and Bellevue and is about 2 miles from Kent Station, an open-air lifestyle destination that includes a Sounder train station, a 14-screen AMC theater, over 15 restaurants and another 30-plus retailers and servicers.<\/p>\n

“The acquisition of Bryson Square further illustrates Aegon RA’s investment strategy which focuses on acquiring, improving and preserving workforce housing in select metros across the U.S.,” said Cameron Jones , head of real estate equity acquisitions for Aegon RA. “The venture with RISE showcases alignment with regional experts and leverages our experience and depth of relationships in the multi-family sector.”<\/p>\n

Including Bryson Square, RISE owns approximately 2,700 units across 16 multifamily properties in the Pacific Northwest.<\/p>\n

The property will be managed by Thrive Communities, a Seattle-based property management firm with approximately 11,000 apartments under management. Thrive also will manage Waterford at the Lakes Apartments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
