Guardian, a Pacific Northwest leader in multifamily operations, development, and investment, announced the closing of a landmark $497 million portfolio acquisition spanning Oregon and New Mexico.
The acquisition represents Guardian’s largest single transaction to date and one of the largest in the United States for 2025. In total, 15 properties and 3,050 units were acquired, all built after 2000, characterized by historically high occupancy and low turnover. Each property in the portfolio is a “post-15” LIHTC community at risk of conversion to market rate. The profile perfectly matches Guardian’s mission to preserve affordability for the long term. Demonstrating that commitment, Guardian will voluntarily convert a portion of existing market-rate units to 60 percent AMI, further strengthening affordability for working families.
“This transaction represents a pivotal moment for Guardian as we advance our mission to preserve and expand quality affordable housing
