TUCSON, Arizona - January 13, 2026 - Bascom Arizona Ventures, LLC (BAZV), an affiliate of Irvine, California-based private equity firm The Bascom Group, LLC (Bascom), has acquired the Retreat at Speedway, a 304-unit multifamily property in Tucson, Arizona, for $53.4 million, or $175,658 per unit. As noted by Bascom Group principal Jerry Fink on LinkedIn, the acquisition reflects continued investor interest in high-quality multifamily assets in Tucson. The acquisition was made through Bascom’s current fund offering, Bascom Value Added Apartment Investors VI, LLC (“Fund VI”).
Constructed in 2001 and located along Speedway Boulevard with views of the Catalina Mountains, the Retreat at Speedway offers residents one- and two-bedroom units with open floorplans. The property features a swimming pool and spa, fitness center, and clubhouse. Its location provides convenient access to the Catalina Foothills and nearby employment centers.
BAZV plans to implement a capital improvement program at the property. Upgrades are expected to include refreshed clubhouse spaces, enhanced pool, spa, and fitness facilities, and interior residence improvements, aimed at maintaining quality living standards and improving operational performance.
“This acquisition reflects our continued focus on disciplined, strategic investments that enhance both community value and long-term property performance,” said Joe Daiutolo, Acquisitions Manager for BAZV. “We are committed to reinvesting in the property to improve resident experience and unlock its full potential.”
Debt financing for the transaction was provided by BrightSpire Capital Acquisitions, LLC and arranged by Brian Eisendrath, Cameron Chalfant, Jake Vitta, and Jesse Zarouk of Institutional Property Advisors (IPA). Steve Gebing, Cliff David, Hamid Panahi, and Clint Wadlund of IPA advised both the buyer and seller. Arizona-based property manager Bryten Real Estate Partners will oversee day-to-day operations.
Fund VI, sponsored by Bascom, focuses on acquiring apartment communities across the U.S. that can be repositioned through value-add renovations, operational improvements, or acquisition of discounted or distressed assets. Since launching the fund, approximately $83 million in equity has been invested across six apartment properties. The Fund is raising additional capital for future acquisitions.
