Phoenix, AZ (March 27, 2015) – 29th Street Capital (29SC) has acquired Williams Landing Apartments, a 72-unit multifamily community in Phoenix, Arizona’s thriving East Valley region.

Williams Landing is in the newly-designated Power Knowledge Corridor in Gilbert, which includes several universities and high-tech businesses.

“With new economic activity and job opportunities throughout the East Valley, plus developments such as nearby Eastmark, 29SC believes the Phoenix metro area is poised for continued growth,” said Dusty Eddy, 29SC’s Vice President of Acquisitions.
