Business Cares: April 2024

In Colorado, 1 in 3 women, 1 in 3 men and 1 in 2 transgender individuals will experience an attempted or completed sexual assault in their lifetime. During April, we recognize Sexual Assault Awareness Month with the hopes of increasing conversations about this very important issue.

The community has one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Amenities include garages, fitness center and pool. 

Bell’s purchase of the property was part of larger, $313 million three-property swap that saw Bell absorb apartment communities in Atlanta and Frisco, Texas. 

“We are excited to acquire a portfolio of high-quality, differentiated properties located in submarkets with healthy supply and demand fundamentals” Bell executive vice president pof investments Nickolay Bochilo said in the release. “At a time of increased turbulence in the capital markets, this portfolio fits our long-term strategy of pursuing investments in our target markets where we can leverage our local experience and extensive operating platform to enhance performance, using disciplined underwriting to reflect current and projected market conditions.”
