PHOENIX, November 13, 2019 – JLL announced today it has closed the $75 million sale and arranged $57.2 million in acquisition financing for Indigo Palms, a 432-unit, garden-style multi-housing community in Phoenix, Arizona.

Indigo Palms, which Knightvest has rebranded as Oxford Apartments, is located at 38th Street and McDowell Road on the border of the Arcadia and Tempe neighborhoods. The property consists of 28 two-story buildings that encompass a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units totaling 404,987 rentable square feet. Apartment homes include spacious floor plans, large walk-in closets, fully equipped kitchens, high ceilings, and balconies or patios. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, spa, fitness center, clubhouse, gated access and optional private garages. The property was 94% occupied at closing.

The JLL Capital Markets investment advisory team representing the buyer was led by Director Mike Higgins.
