Griffis Residential, a Denver-based multifamily investment and management firm, announced today that it has acquired the Avendaro at Canyon Creek Apartments located in the northwest Canyon Creek area of Austin, Texas. The 296-unit Class-A multifamily community is the firm’s second acquisition in the Austin metro area following the acquisition of 512 apartment units in Round Rock’s La Frontera business and housing center in November 2014. Griffis Residential now owns and manages 5,966 apartment units in Colorado, Nevada and Texas.
“Our continued interest in the Austin metro market is bolstered by the area’s strong multifamily submarket and employment growth,” said Griffis Residential CEO David Birnbaum. “Our priority now is to focus on increasing operational efficiencies, completing targeted capital improvements, and building our trademark management culture at the properties to create value for our investors and residents.”
Effective immediately, Avendaro at Canyon Creek has been renamed Griffis Canyon Creek, underscoring the firm’s commitment to brand excellence and delivering the best customer experience in the multifamily industry. For community and leasing information please visit www.GriffisCanyonCreek.com.
