WASHINGTON, DC–AvalonBay Communities is expanding its market share into Denver and Southeast Florida, but the apartment REIT is still recycling capital in the local market.

In September 2018, it acquired the 310-unit Avalon Arundel Crossing, located in Linthicum Heights, Md., for $83 million. The following month it sold Avalon at Fairway Hills – Fields, which currently is in the first phase of a three-phase community, in Columbia, Md., and Avalon Fashion Valley in San Diego for a total of $110.2 million. It also sold in Q3 Avalon Ballston Place in Arlington, Va., for $169 million. The 383-unit apartment building has about 5,000 square feet of retail space.

Also in October, it purchased Alexander Apartments and Lofts, in West Palm Beach, FL, a 290-unit complex that traded for $103 million.
