Saxum Real Estate Acquires Student Housing Property | Gainesville, FL

April 5, 2022: Saxum is proud to announce the closing of an interest in Oakbrook Walk and Oaks Apartments, two fractured condominium complexes that function primarily as a student housing community at the University of Florida. The property is located within an eight-minute walk to the University of Florida campus in Gainesville, Florida.

Saxum is acquiring the 207-unit, 414-bed community in partnership with a San Francisco based institutional equity partner. The transaction brings Saxum’s total student housing portfolio to approximately 2,500 beds. The property was acquired at a significant discount to recent sales at the University of Florida, representing an attractive going in yield with additional value-add upside. Saxum will commence a value-add program to renovate-units and increase rents to market, while concurrently working to collapse the condominium association. Saxum continues to focus on identifying unique value-add student housing opportunities in growth markets that offer outsized risk-adjusted returns.

“We are very excited about this opportunity and remain focused on uncovering value-add opportunities that don’t fit the traditional mold.”
