Brixton Capital (“Brixton”), a privately held real estate investment company, has acquired Whisper Creek (the “Property”), a 272-unit, two- and three-story garden-style apartment community located in Lakewood, Colorado (Denver MSA).
Built in 2002 by Fairfield Residential, Whisper Creek pairs exceptional property fundamentals with a premier Lakewood location. Residents benefit from placement within the top-ranked Jefferson County School District and enjoy convenient access to major transportation corridors, including US-285, C-470, and Highway 121, connecting them to key employment hubs such as the Denver Federal Center, Denver West and the Southeast Business Corridor, home to more than 30 major employers and six Fortune 500 companies. Just 25 minutes from Golden, the Denver Tech Center and Downtown Denver, the property is ideally positioned to capture strong renter demand and support sustained growth.
Apartments average 928 square feet per unit and feature 9-foot ceilings, with residents enjoying a full suite of community amenities. These include 501 parking spaces (1.18x per bedroom) with detached garages, a resort-style pool and spa, a 24-hour fitness center, an expansive clubhouse, business center, outdoor grilling stations, a pet park and a playground.
“Our acquisition in Lakewood reflects both our confidence in the long-term strength of the Denver metro rental market and our commitment to investing in communities that enhance residents’ quality of life,” said Brixton’s President Rob Taylor. “With its strong employment base, lifestyle amenities and growth trajectory, Lakewood is well positioned to deliver stable performance for our investors while serving as a vibrant place for residents to call home.”
Situated at 3505 S. Nelson Circle, Whisper Creek sits within the South Lakewood submarket, one of the lowest-supplied and strongest areas for housing fundamentals within metro Denver. According to RealPage, over the past decade, the submarket has averaged 95% occupancy and 4.7% annual rent growth.
“Lakewood’s accelerating population growth and expanding employment base in finance, technology and healthcare continue to fuel long-term demand for quality rental housing,” said Mark Mandala, Director of Investments at Brixton Capital. “Through a thoughtful value creation strategy focused on interior renovations, amenity enhancements and operating efficiencies, we seek to deliver an exceptional living experience for our residents and unlock the property’s full potential.”
Brixton will partner with Greystar for professional third-party property management, leveraging Greystar’s operational scale across Brixton’s Southwest Denver portfolio.
“Whisper Creek’s location in Lakewood and on the west side of town makes it highly desirable within the Denver market,” said JLL Senior Managing Director of Capital Markets Jordan Robbins. “Current ownership has maintained Whisper Creek well, but the asset fits perfectly into Brixton’s plan to upgrade the property in a very low supply market with high demand drivers. This area has always been very sought after, and upgrading the property will ensure it continues to be a market leader.”
Tony Nargi with JLL Capital Markets secured the financing on behalf of Brixton Capital.
