Lone Star Takes Home Properties Private

DALLAS—The deal for the apartment REIT's 121 properties marks Lone Star Funds' second major acquisition in the multifamily sector within a year.

DALLAS—An affiliate of Lone Star Funds will take apartment REIT Home Properties Inc. in a deal valued at approximately $7.6 billion including debt. When the merger is finalized, Home Properties will sell up to six multifamily properties in the Washington, DC area to UDR Inc., a Highlands Ranch, CO-based apartment REIT.

This is Lone Star’s second large apartment purchase recently, and follows the 2014 acquisition of a 64-property, 20,439 unit portfolio. Hugh J.
