Guardian Acquires Affordable Housing Portfolio in Oregon, New Mexico for $497M

by John Nelson September 4, 2025

PORTLAND, ORE. — Portland-based multifamily owner-operator Guardian has acquired a portfolio of 15 multifamily properties totaling 3,050 units in Oregon and New Mexico for $497 million. The deal represents the company’s largest transaction and one of the larger deals in the United States year-to-date, according to Guardian. Each property in the portfolio was built after 2000 using Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) but after the end of the program’s 15-year compliance period, thus the properties were at risk of market-rate conversion. Guardian will voluntarily convert a portion of the portfolio’s units to income-restricted housing that is reserved for renters earning 60 percent or less of the area median income (AMI). The seller was not released. “This transaction represents a pivotal moment for Guardian as we advance our mission to preserve and expand quality affordable housing,” says Tom Brenneke, president of Guardian. The company purchased the portfolio in two tranches. The first was with capital partner AEW for two Portland-area communities spanning 310 units. The second phase comprised the other 13 properties, which span 2,740 units in the metro areas of Portland and Albuquerque, N.M. Guardian partnered with National Equity Fund (NEF) and JPMorgan Chase on the second tranche. “Partnering …

Albuquerque Retail Benefitting from Market Reset

by John Nelson July 2, 2025

— By Anthony Johnson and A.J. Johnson of Pegasus Retail — Looking back on the market sentiment at the start of 2024, the mantra was “Survive ‘til 25.” Now, halfway through 2025, it’s clear that the record-breaking cap rate sales of 2021 and 2022 are firmly in the rearview. Speculative development is reserved for those with a generational outlook, and high interest rates are the new normal. While that may seem bleak, for those who’ve weathered the storm, it feels like a breath of fresh air. The market has reset. Seller and buyer expectations are realigning. Landlords and tenants are exploring new deals in a more stable environment. And smart developers are dusting off models and cautiously getting back to work. The construction hiatus of recent years has benefited owners of existing product. Tenants, fueled by Wall Street growth expectations, had to get creative. We now see many national retailers occupying second and third generation retail space that they’d historically passed in favor of shinier and newer projects. Many neighborhood centers that were 50 percent vacant at the onset of the pandemic are now close to fully leased. A surprising but welcome shift. This outcome, partly driven by the lack …
