Griffis Residential Purchases Falcon Ridge Apartments
Griffis Residential, a Denver-based multifamily investment and management firm, announced today that it has acquired Falcon Ridge Apartments, a 296-unit Class-A multifamily community located in the vibrant South Congress area of Austin, Texas. With the Falcon Ridge acquisition, Griffis Residential currently owns and manages approximately 6,700 apartment units in Colorado, Texas, Nevada and Washington.
“Falcon Ridge Apartments is an institutional quality asset in a superior location near Austin’s employment-rich Central Business District,” said Griffis Residential Executive Chairman, Ian Griffis. “Falcon Ridge is a perfect choice for renters who are looking for close proximity to Austin’s urban employers and high-quality amenities at a more attractive price point than new midrise properties in the area.”

The garden-style property offers one- to three-bedroom apartments with nine-foot ceilings, ranging in size from 590 to 1,256 square feet.
