Upcoming Event
Behringer Harvard scoops up Sugar Land apartment complex

Behringer Harvard said Monday it has acquired Parkside Apartments in Sugar Land for an undisclosed amount.
Addison, Texas-based Behringer Harvard said Parkside was acquired for the portfolio of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II Inc. through a joint venture with affiliates of Houston-based Arcadian Real Estate Group. A Behringer Harvard affiliate will serve as the managing partner, and Arcadian will provide property management services.
The 240-unit complex is on a 9.2-acre site at 12100 S. Highway 6 South and includes 19 two- and three-story buildings. Units range from 643 square feet to 1,300 square feet and feature up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The joint venture is planning a renovation program for the property, which was built in 1998. Arcadian will provide construction management services for the two-year project, which will include unit upgrades and improvements for common-area amenities, such as the clubhouse and pool.
Michael O'Hanlon, CEO of Behringer Harvard's Opportunity Platform, said in a statement the "well-leased community" was acquired "on an attractive basis below replacement cost."
"We expect Parkside Apartments to provide attractive cash flow and strong upside potential," O'Hanlon said in the statement. "Our value-added improvement program should further enhance the appeal of this popular community while lifting rents."
Behringer Harvard also has multifamily construction underway in the Houston area.
Earlier this year, Behringer Harvard and Dallas-based Trammell Crow Residential began construction of a multifamily community on a 2.9-acre site near the Montrose area and the Museum District.
The two companies last year partnered on Allusion West University, another Inner Loop multifamily project.
