Rise48 CEO, Zach Haptonstall, said “We’re excited to have successfully executed our value-add business plan and complete our third full-cycle disposition of an asset since we started. This deal was a home run for our investors who trusted us with their hard-earned money, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We’re selling our fourth deal next week, and both of these recent dispositions drastically exceeded investor return projections in less than half of the projected time period. We’re looking for more opportunities to serve our growing investor base.”
