Paskover notes that this acquisition brings Trion ’ s total number of multifamily units in Colorado to nearly 700 . The firm ’ s first acquisition in the state , The View Apartments in the Northglenn submarket of Denver , took place just seven months ago , speaking to the firm ’ s diligent sourcing and impressive track record .
“ A large part of what attracted us to the Colorado Springs market is the diverse economy and major industries that have a presence in the region ,” says Farhan Mahmood , Managing Director at Trion Properties .
“ The city has always been predominantly driven by military , as it is home to Fort Carson , North American Aerospace Defense Command , and the U . S . Air Force Academy . But that has diversified in recent years to include a number of technology start­ups , insurance companies , and UC Health , a nationally recognized hospital that provides nearly 7,000 jobs .
This , combined with the new construction of Amazon ’ s new four million square­foot distribution center and Space Force ’ s military construction at multiple Colorado Springs bases , further positions the city as an extremely attractive market .”
Quail Cove is one of two properties acquired , a 200­unit community located in the Cheyenne Hills neighborhood of Colorado Springs .
David Moghavem , Director of Acquisitions at Trion Properties , says : “ Solid economic drivers have created excellent fundamentals in Colorado Springs as a whole , and the Cheyenne Hills neighborhood in particular is a desirable submarket to execute a high­quality renovation program .
The location has strong demographics with average incomes over $ 80,000 within a mile radius , while also offering access to strong local schools nearby . The property itself is also surrounded by gorgeous panoramic views of the mountains , with a portion of the property overlooking Quail Lake .”
