“There is an opportunity to enhance property value in the Pacific Northwest as fundamentals in both Oregon and Washington strengthen,” Fisher continues.
“Overarching trends in the region include rising rental demand based on increasing in-migration from California residents and a ‘flight to suburbia’ that ignited during 2020.
"This momentum, coupled with the new economic recovery and subsequent job growth, make these acquisitions well-positioned to benefit from strong future demand and stability, while giving us an opportunity to leverage economies of scale in the region and further streamline operational efficiencies.”
David Sloan, Principal at Next Wave adds: “Both properties were acquired in off-market transactions through previous broker relationships, which speaks to our positive track record and strength of reputation in the industry.
