"Apartment communities of this caliber are in high demand in both of these markets given the strong employment fundamentals and high barriers to entry for home ownership," said Michael Streicker, President of Sentinel. "What also made these investments so attractive is that there are no comparable apartment communities under development within three miles of either property, which we expect will support continued strong performance."

Sentinel has been active in the Atlanta and Philadelphia markets throughout its 53-year history, having owned and operated 46 multifamily properties in these areas, comprising over 12,000 units. Since its inception, Sentinel has acquired a national portfolio of multifamily real estate on behalf of domestic and international institutions. The firm will continue to leverage its market expertise and deep industry relationships to identify attractive investment opportunities in high growth markets throughout the US.
