“Electra’s preferred equity solutions allowed the sponsor to stabilize an asset in a high-growth metro area at more favorable terms,” said Samuel J. Greenblatt, CEO of Electra Capital. “As Arizona’s economic outlook improves, multifamily assets will remain as one of the most popular product types for investors to retain in their portfolios.”

“Tides is thrilled to have partnered with the Electra team on this 582-unit transaction in Mesa, AZ,” added Sean Kia, Co-Founder and Principal of Tides Equities, LLC. “The submarket is projected to see tremendous rent growth over the next 5 years, and this almost completely classic asset is primed for a Tides premium scope renovation. The Electra team was able to move quickly in providing preferred equity to close the transaction in a shortened 45-day window, and we are very much looking forward to continuing to grow the relationship.”
