The purchase price was $72 million.

"The city of Chandler, and more broadly Phoenix's strong market fundamentals, favorable business environment and attractive demographics coupled with Summit at San Marcos's location in an outstanding school district make this acquisition an excellent fit with JLL Income Property Trust's suburban apartment strategy," said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust.
