Tishman Speyer Acquires 376-Unit Anaheim Apartment Community

The 340,000-square-foot community is located at 1910 South Union Street and was completed in 2020. The acquisition was financed in part through an $88 million Freddie Mac loan. Rise was approximately 95% leased at the time of the transaction.

The deal is significant for Southern California’s multifamily market because it places institutional capital into an already operating residential community rather than a new development still awaiting construction.

A Large Residential Asset in Anaheim

Rise contains studios as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Its amenities include a fitness center, outdoor pool, spa, barbecue areas and a coworking lounge.

A roof deck completed in late 2025 added seating areas and a pickleball court. Tishman Speyer said it plans targeted improvements to the property’s amenities and exterior following the acquisition.

The property sits within Anaheim’s 820-acre Platinum Triangle master-planned district, an area anchored by the Honda Center, Angel Stadium and the ARTIC transportation hub.

Its location also provides access to major freeways and employment centers throughout Orange County and Los Angeles, while Disneyland remains one of the region’s major attractions.

Institutional Investors Continue to Target Multifamily

The acquisition reflects continued institutional interest in professionally operated apartment communities.

Tishman Speyer purchased the property through TS Plus, its core-plus investment fund. The fund had accumulated $1.08 billion in commitments, according to the transaction report.

Core-plus strategies generally focus on properties that already have established operations but may offer opportunities for improvement through management, amenities or selective capital investment.

Rise fits that profile because it was built recently, was already highly leased and had an established amenity package.

The planned improvements indicate that the new owner sees additional potential in the existing property rather than treating the acquisition solely as a passive investment.

Location Plays a Major Role

Anaheim’s Platinum Triangle has been undergoing long-term transformation around entertainment, transportation and mixed-use development.

Rise benefits from its proximity to major venues and transit infrastructure while also connecting residents to employment centers throughout the broader Southern California region.

The property’s location near three major freeways further expands its accessibility.

For the rental market, accessibility can influence how residents evaluate housing options, particularly in metropolitan areas where commuting time remains an important consideration.

The combination of apartment housing, entertainment venues and transportation infrastructure has made the Platinum Triangle an important development area within Orange County.

What the Deal Means for Renters

The acquisition does not automatically change the number of apartments available in Anaheim because Rise was already operating and occupied.

Instead, the immediate significance for residents lies in the ownership transition and the planned property enhancements.

The community’s existing 376 apartments remain part of the market-rate rental inventory. The planned improvements could alter amenities and the physical environment over time, although the transaction announcement did not specify changes to rents or lease terms.

That distinction is important for understanding institutional apartment acquisitions. Buying an existing community does not necessarily mean creating new housing supply, but it can affect how a property is managed, maintained and positioned within its local rental market.

A Broader Southern California Investment Picture

The Anaheim transaction arrived amid continued activity in Southern California multifamily real estate.

Regional real-estate reporting on the same day identified several apartment transactions and financing developments across Orange County and San Diego, indicating that multifamily properties remained an active segment of the regional market.

Rise stands out because of its size, relatively recent construction and high occupancy.

For Tishman Speyer, the purchase also expands the geographic reach of TS Plus into Orange County while adding another residential community to a portfolio that includes properties in multiple U.S. markets.

For Anaheim, the transaction represents another example of institutional ownership entering a major multifamily property within the Platinum Triangle.

The deal ultimately highlights the continued importance of existing apartment communities to Southern California’s housing market. As developers face the challenges of construction costs, financing and limited land, investors can also pursue recently built communities that already have residents, operating systems and established neighborhood infrastructure.

Rise provides a clear example of that strategy: an occupied residential property becomes the focus of new institutional ownership and targeted improvements without waiting for a new apartment project to be built.
