Issued through ACRE's latest debt fund "ACRE Credit I", the loan will support Peak Capital's purchase of the 150-unit community. Executed in May, the 3-year agreement includes options for two single-year extensions.

Brian Caudel and Jack Tidrick at KeyBank Real Estate Capital served as brokers for the deal.

"Denver has continued to add huge numbers of both jobs and residents over recent years, making it one of the country's fastest-growing metro areas and creating a critical need for high-quality rental housing," said Daniel Jacobs, Managing Partner at ACRE. "Connect at First Creek has already enjoyed impressive success in helping to satisfy that robust demand, and we're proud to play a role in supporting Peak Capital's purchase of this first-class property."

The agreement for Connect at First Creek was one of four loans, totaling approximately $169 million, issued via 'ACRE Credit I' in May alone. Other loans finalized during the month were issued in support of multifamily developments in Nashville, Tennessee; Fort Worth, Texas; and Fredericksburg, Virginia.

The loan also represents the third issued to Peak Capital since ACRE Credit 1's launch in August 2020, following two transactions for properties in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

To date, the fund has raised $509 million of equity and has committed to provide more than $2 billion in whole loans across 52 transactions to support the acquisition, lease-up, redevelopment and recapitalization of multifamily assets in growing secondary markets across the U.S.

"Our lending platform has been able to provide financing for a fast-expanding list of apartment developments across a wide variety of markets, as we continue to form and solidify partnerships with industry leaders like Peak Capital Partners," said Jacobs. "May marked yet another productive month for 'ACRE Credit I', and we look forward to continuing to support other companies and the country's rental housing sector at-large, as it experiences nearly unprecedented growth."
