JLL Income Property Trust
Acquires Premier Apartments in Suburban Dallas
Chicago (June 11, 2018) - JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX), today announced the acquisition of Villas at Legacy, an amenity-rich, luxury garden-style 328-unit apartment community located in Plano, Texas.
Plano, located in Dallas’ prestigious Platinum Corridor, is a main driver of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex which continues to create jobs at a rate that is almost double the national average according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The region boasts a population of 7.4 million, and is home to multiple Fortune 500 headquarters including American Airlines, AT&T, Exxon Mobil, Kimberly-Clark, Dr. Pepper Snapple and Texas Instruments.
The Villas at Legacy apartments are located within the Legacy Business Park, a 2,665-acre master-planned business, retail and residential community employing nearly 100,000 people. Plano residents further benefit from an excellent school system, with the A+-rated Plano Independent School District ranked fifth in Texas and 81st in the U.S. by Niche.com.
“The acquisition of Villas at Legacy further supports our investment strategy targeting well-positioned suburban markets with highly rated schools and strong market fundamentals and demographics,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “This investment brings our aggregate apartment allocation to nearly $650 million, with over 2,500 apartment units, representing just over a quarter of our $2.6 billion, 69-property portfolio.”
The Villas at Legacy offer garden-style units, high-end common area amenities including a business center, picnic area with grills, courtyards, swimming pool, fitness center and coffee bar.
