"These off-market acquisitions represent a natural expansion of our platform near Purdue University," said Marc Muinzer, founder of both Muinzer and its affiliate, Chicago-based South Street Capital. "It demonstrates our ability to source high-quality property investments at favorable values in submarkets near global demand drivers. We are seeking to make additional purchases that expand our existing position as the largest apartment owner and land owner near Purdue."

"We are also pleased to acquire 400 Ferry Street, which adds to our Opportunity Zone land holdings in downtown Lafayette," added Marc Muinzer. "The Opportunity Zone initiative should further accelerate the growth and expansion of this submarket." Muinzer and T2 Capital Management are preparing to launch a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund in the second half of 2019. The fund will focus on ground-up developments and redevelopments near engineering, aerospace and technology based education centers and regional innovation hubs. Muinzer and T2 have been joint venture partners on multiple projects on and around the Purdue campus since 2010.
