SAN ANTONIO—With a laser focus on class-B and -C multifamily assets, one joint venture finds value in the northeastern San Antonio market. Sterling Real Estate Holdings, a JV between Barker Pacific Group (BPG) and Pacific Real Estate Partners, recently acquired La Fiesta Apartments for an undisclosed price. The 111-unit apartment complex is situated in the Alamo Heights submarket.
“La Fiesta is in a great location, and we see an opportunity to maximize its value by repositioning and improving upon the property,” says Michael Barker, principal at Sterling Real Estate Holdings, and BPG's CEO and managing director.
Built in 1970, the apartment community stands out in the market in that 68 of its 111 units have two bedrooms. The existing on-site amenities include picnic areas, a swimming pool, laundry facilities and a central garden courtyard. Sterling plans to invest in the property by improving landscaping and other common areas, as well as renovating apartment interiors.
