AUSTIN, TX-In their third joint venture deal of the year, the Preiss Co. of Raleigh, NC and Chicago-based Harrison Street Real Estate Capital have acquired the five-year-old, 1,152-bed Crossing Place student housing project near the University of Texas-Austin. The 348-unit property was in foreclosure when it was sold.

Principals at both firms declined to disclose the purchase price.

That would make the estimated aggregate price of the asset $35 million. Officials at Preiss and Harrison declined to comment on the estimated price.
