Machine Investment Group acquires 490-unit multifamily Community in North Dallas. Sep 14, 2026, 08:53 ET Machine Completes Off-Market Acquisition of 75 West in Joint Venture with RPM Living Investments Latest Investment Expands Machine's Residential Portfolio with a Value-Add Community in Supply-Constrained, Infill Location DALLAS, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Machine Investment Group, LP (Machine), a real estate investment platform focused on opportunistic, distressed and special situations across the United States, today announced that it has acquired 75 West, a 490-unit multifamily community in the Park Central submarket of North Dallas, TX. Machine acquired 75 West in a joint venture with RPM Living Investments, which will also serve as property manager. Located at 7927 Forest Lane, 75 West comprises 490 residential units, nearly half of which are townhomes with attached garages. The property also includes approximately 10,800 square feet of fully leased ground-floor retail space. The community is near the intersection of Interstates 75 and 635, adjacent to Medical City Dallas and within reach of major employment hubs across North Dallas. Machine sourced the acquisition through an off-market, lender-driven process. The transaction gives the firm an opportunity to acquire a well-located, institutionally owned asset at a reset basis and continue an operational turnaround already underway at the property. Machine plans to reinvest in the property through a comprehensive program of deferred and preventive maintenance, targeted amenity enhancements, and operational improvements designed to stabilize the asset, enhance its long-term performance, and elevate the resident experience. "75 West represents an exciting opportunity to acquire a high-quality asset in an infill location where our firm can leverage our disciplined operating approach to unlock the property's long-term value," said Meredith Jonker, Vice President of Machine Investment Group. "The property's distinctive townhome component, proximity to major North Dallas employment centers and limited nearby new supply create a strong foundation for its next chapter. As Dallas supply moderates and DFW continues to lead the country in apartment demand, 75 West represents a compelling opportunity to capture sustained, long-term growth in one of the nation's strongest markets. We look forward to working with RPM Living to build on the progress already made at the community."

Baltisse, Peruna and RPM Living acquire The Louis Las Colinas, a 374-unit apartment community in Irving, Texas. * Sep 11, 2026 Baltisse and Peruna, both Belgium-based family offices, in partnership with RPM Living, announced the acquisition of a 374-unit multifamily community in Irving, Texas. Formerly known as The Crest at Las Colinas, the property has been rebranded as The Louis Las Colinas and will undergo a comprehensive capital improvement program. Located along Lake Carolyn in the heart of the Las Colinas Urban Center, The Louis Las Colinas is a five-story apartment community offering studio, one- and two-bedroom residences ranging from approximately 600 to 1,500 square feet. "The Louis Las Colinas fits squarely within Baltisse U.S. Real Estate's focus on investing in high-quality, well-located infill apartment communities at significant discounts to replacement cost," said Andrew Lohrfink, President of U.S. Real Estate for Baltisse. "We are particularly focused on opportunities in high-growth markets where strong underlying fundamentals, combined with strategic asset repositioning, provide opportunities to unlock additional value." The Louis Las Colinas is located near several of the region's major employers, including Wells Fargo, McKesson, Caterpillar and Kimberly-Clark, as well as destinations including Toyota Music Factory and the Irving Convention Center. The property is also surrounded by a growing collection of restaurants and retail options within the Las Colinas Urban Center. The property is adjacent to the Las Colinas Urban Center DART station, providing residents with direct rail access to DFW International Airport and downtown Dallas. The property's existing amenities include a resort-style pool, landscaped courtyard and Zen Garden, resident lounge, fitness center and co-working space. As part of the partners' value-add business plan, that program will include refreshed amenity spaces, exterior enhancements and upgraded apartment interiors. The improvements are intended to further differentiate The Louis Las Colinas within the Las Colinas market and enhance the resident experience. "The Louis Las Colinas represents an important step in Peruna's continued international expansion," said Eveline Vereecke, Co-CEO of Peruna. "We have strong conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the U.S. multifamily market, particularly in dynamic and growing markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth. We are pleased to invest alongside Baltisse and RPM Living, whose complementary investment and operating expertise provides a strong foundation for the long-term success of this property." "Acquiring The Louis Las Colinas reflects RPM Investments' commitment to pursuing high-quality assets across Dallas-Fort Worth," said Jose Blanc, Senior Vice President of Investments for RPM Living. "The property's transit-oriented location, proximity to major employers and position within the Las Colinas Urban Center make it a compelling opportunity to enhance an already well-located community." The transaction marks Baltisse U.S. Real Estate's second U.S. multifamily investment in recent months, following the acquisition of The Carson, a 298-unit apartment community in Charlotte's vibrant South End submarket. Both investments highlight the firm's value-add strategy of acquiring high-quality, well-located infill apartment communities at compelling prices, with opportunities to create additional value through strategic repositioning.

Greystar offloads Elan Yorktown apartments for $99M as adjacent mall faces foreclosure. Venture of RPM Living and New York Life still confident in market fundamentals Not long after a suburban Chicago mall makeover hit stumbling blocks, Greystar offloaded a nearby apartment complex for $99 million. Charleston, South Carolina-based Greystar sold the 295-unit Elan Yorktown in Lombard to a venture of RPM Living and New York Life in a deal that closed last week and comes out to about $335,000 per unit, records show. The venture's purchase was supported by a $63.4 million mortgage from JPMorgan, mortgage records show. Greystar developed the property between 2017 and 2018 after spending about $1.6 million on the initial land acquisition and taking out a $56.5 million loan from CIBC. It's unclear what the company's total investment in the development was but the company last refinanced the property for $68 million with Acre. Representatives of RPM did not respond to requests for comment and representatives of Greystar declined to comment. The apartment building is next to the Yorktown Center Mall which is at the center of a $200 million redevelopment effort led by Los Angeles-based Pacific Retail Capital Partners. But Pacific Retail last month defaulted on a $107 million debt package secured by the mall after failing to repay the loan at its June 2026 maturity date. The default came just after Pacific Retail completed the first phase of the $200 million redevelopment plan. That phase included the addition of a public plaza and park, along with a separate 276-apartment building known as Reserve at Yorktown developed by project partner, Synergy Construction. The shopping mall's valuation has cratered since the loan was originated in 2014. An October 2024 appraisal valued the 787,000-square-foot mall at $60.4 million. That's a 75 percent decline from its $242.7 million valuation when CCRE Lending, a venture backed by U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's firm Cantor Fitzgerald, first made the loan in 2014. Cash flow began to unravel following the closures of Sports Authority in 2016 and Carson's in 2018, and then had its issues exacerbated by state-ordered retail shutdowns during the pandemic in 2020. KeyBank granted multiple maturity extensions over the past eight years, including a modification in August 2025 that pushed the loan's final deadline to June 2026. Still, multifamily properties have been outperforming other types of properties surrounding the mall. Torchlight Investors' Cityview at Highlands apartment complex hit a rough patch when interest rates started to rise in 2022, but has since stabilized, MorningStar data shows. Also nearby, MorningStar notes that the Haven at Highland owned by New York-based Churchwick Partners, boasted a strong performance with 94 percent occupancy as of last year and a debt-coverage-service-ratio over 1.5, meaning that the properties' net operating income is 150 percent higher than its debt service costs. Meanwhile, an adjacent office complex faced a drop-off in demand after the pandemic. In May, Bruce Stern's Red River Asset Management and Lincoln Property Company were hit with a foreclosure lawsuit over their 174,000-square-foot office building at 701 East 22nd Street after defaulting on a $15.2 million loan. RPM and New York Life are likely playing the long game as the Chicago suburbs' multifamily market continues to take off. Total multifamily sales volume in the suburbs increased by more than 67 percent year over year in the second quarter of 2026, a recent report from local brokerage Interra Realty found. RPM has been an active buyer in and around Chicago. In March, the firm bought the 294-unit Orland Ridge build-to-rent community in Orland Park for $102 million. And in July, RPM bought the SoNo East Apartments for $125.2 million in Lincoln Park from the New Jersey-based asset-management arm of Prudential Financial.
PCCP and RPM Living Investments joint venture acquire 358-unit Texas multifamily mixed-use apartment community. August 21, 2026 A joint venture between PCCP and RPM Living Investments has acquired Truman at Arlington Commons, a four-story multifamily community located at 505 E Lamar Boulevard in Arlington, TX. The price was not given out. Built in 2021, the property features 358 units with floorplans ranging from 576 sf to 1.6k sf and an average unit size of 807 sf. The units feature 10-foot ceilings, with select units offering 14-foot ceiling heights. The property also features climate-controlled interior carpeted corridors and includes a structured parking garage with 613 total spaces and approximately 4.9k sf of ground-floor retail occupied by Nehemiah Coffee Company. Truman at Arlington Commons is located in North Arlington, a centrally positioned pocket between Dallas and Fort Worth with direct access to Interstate 30. The location provides connectivity to Arlington's primary employment and entertainment districts, including AT&T Stadium, Globe Life Field, and Texas Live!, which together attract more than 50 million visitors annually. The property is also across the street from Texas Health Resources. Downtown Dallas, Downtown Fort Worth, and DFW International Airport are all reachable within roughly 20 minutes, reinforcing the area's strong commuter accessibility. The greater DFW Metroplex is also one of the largest and most liquid multifamily markets in the U.S., supported by a diversified employment base, strong population growth, and a sizeable renter base.
