"The buyer plans to update both interior units and amenities to bring tenants the best quality of living in Lexington," said Weiner.

"The Lexington Kentucky sub market is thriving and the rents still have room to grow," said Jungreis.

"Also, the migration of jobs to Kentucky and free economic thought is fostering tremendous growth and contributing to our ongoing activity in this burgeoning red state." said Weiner, “This deal is a perfect illustration of Rosewood’s ability to execute in the off-market space between two big institutionalized and well capitalized groups.

“We have successfully closed over one billion in sales this year and we are poised for a strong 2022 as the sales market continues to heat up locally and nationally,” said Jungreis. “The rental market still has growth potential and identifying hidden gems is one of our strengths.”
