“BellaView Apartments LLC did an excellent job of repositioning this property over the last few years. When they acquired Bella View in 2011 (then called Brandywood) from an out-of-state lender, the community had significant vacancy and deferred maintenance,” Braun says. “The new owner, SPL Management, has an exciting plan to further enhance the asset to attract higher demographic tenants. They will be upgrading both the exterior design and amenities as well as elevating the interior features to a level that will compete with many of the luxury communities in the area. SPL was attracted to the property due to its compelling location; it’s close to the Camelback Corridor, Biltmore Fashion Park and immediately next to a Sprout’s-anchored shopping center.”

“SPL has renamed the apartment community The Standard at 29th,” Braun added.
