The partnership agreement with Apex Development Group and Treevita Holdings LLC formed Polaris at Camp Creek Partners LLC for the acquisition of a 155-unit multi-family property located at 2800 Camp Creek Parkway in Atlanta, Georgia.

The property is undergoing a phased renovation to improve the tenant base in a market that has seen an average of five per cent annual rent growth. The renovation is entering its second year of a two-year deadline.

This acquisition marked KPREIT’s first real estate purchase in the State of Georgia and the first in a series of acquisitions slated to be made with both Apex and Treevita in various targeted US states.
