Rise48 Equity Secures Garland Multifamily Asset at 30% Discount, Plans Major Renovation

Rise48 Equity has recently increased its stake in the Dallas property scene with the off-market acquisition of a multifamily community located in Garland, Texas. The property, previously known as Shiloh Oaks Apartments, is set to be rebranded to Rise Apollo Heights. This strategic purchase was made at more than a 30% discount from peak valuations seen in the past 18 to 36 months, reflecting Rise48 Equity's adeptness in identifying valuable investment opportunities.

Originally constructed in 1983, the Rise Apollo Heights acquisition encompasses 248 units. Recognizing the potential for improvement, Rise48 Equity has outlined extensive renovation plans that promise to enhance both the interior and exterior of the community. Approximately 88% of the units, equating to 217 apartments, are slated for transformation to Rise48 Equity’s signature Diamond Level finish. This upgrade will include the installation of modern amenities such as stainless steel appliances, LED lighting, white shaker cabinet doors, resurfaced countertops, updated plumbing fixtures, and vinyl plank flooring. Furthermore, each of the 248 units will be equipped with new washers and dryers, adding convenience and value for future residents.

Externally, the property is set to undergo a comprehensive redesign aimed at improving its aesthetic appeal and community presence. The renovations will include a full exterior repaint, enhancements to the landscaping, restoration of the pool deck, and the addition of new pool furniture. The leasing office and clubhouse will receive modern updates, while fresh signage and branding are expected to augment the property's curb appeal and redefine its community identity.

The varied applications of the concept of a "garland," which spans decorative home accents and urban enhancements, are further exemplified by the City of Garland, Texas. Recently, the city has unveiled a new web portal designed to advance its utility customer service, specifically in terms of online bill payment. This initiative underscores Garland’s commitment to modernizing municipal services and improving the overall user experience for its residents.

Through these developments, both Rise48 Equity and the City of Garland demonstrate the multifaceted nature of growth and modernization, each bringing substantial contributions to their respective realms. While the investment in real estate aims to transform living spaces and community environments, the city's technological advancement strives to deliver a contemporary utility service to its residents.
