Sharkansky also notes that while Newark has experienced significant growth in the recent years, the average rental rates remain an attractive value alternative to many neighboring Bay Area cities, which will continue to drive potential renters to the city.

“We immediately recognized the long-term appeal of this property to residents across demographics,” explains Andrew Lucas, Director of Capital Markets at Trion Properties.
“The Meadows is strategically situated between Oakland and San Jose, with close proximity to other major cities including Palo Alto and San Francisco, offering prime access to jobs and social activities. The apartment community is also located near excellent area schools, adding to its desirability.”
The property, built in 1966, will undergo extensive renovations and a rebranding, according to Farhan Mahmood, Managing Director, Acquisitions at Trion Properties.
“This acquisition is an opportunity to implement our proven value-add renovation strategies to modernize the community and bring rents up to market,” states Mahmood.
“We will leverage our experience in the East Bay and current portfolio, including multifamily properties in Fremont, San Leandro, and Hayward, to optimize the asset’s appeal and efficiencies.”
The Meadows features a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom units, all with private patios or balconies and walk-in closets.
According to Mahmood, Trion Properties plans to makeover units with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, vinyl plank flooring, new cabinetry, Bluetooth locks, upgraded bathroom vanities, and in-unit washers and dryers. Exterior upgrades will include landscaping and new signage to reflect the rebranding.
