Canyon Partners Real Estate Makes $16 Million Investment to Develop Multifamily Property
in Camp Springs Maryland
Washington DC Submarket Development Features 384 Class-A Rental Apartments
Los Angeles (April 12, 2017) – Canyon Partners Real Estate LLC® (“Canyon”) has provided $16 million of
preferred equity to a joint venture between Peter N.G. Schwartz (“PNGS”) and Hensel Phelps Construction
Co. (“Hensel Phelps”) to finance the development of Allure Apollo (“Allure”), a 384-unit apartment
building at 4401 Telfair Blvd. in Camp Springs, MD. This is the second preferred equity investment Canyon
has made with PNGS and Hensel Phelps in its three-phase Camp Springs master plan, Canyon’s third joint
venture with PNGS and Hensel Phelps, and its fourth investment with Hensel Phelps. The remaining third
phase of the Apollo community is projected to break ground in fall 2019 and will include “Restaurant
Row”, a walkable urban destination retail center slated for delivery in late 2020.
“We have enjoyed previous successful partnerships with Canyon and Hensel Phelps to develop Aspire
Apollo several years ago and another nearby property, Ascend Apollo, in 2015, and this new investment
is a testament to Canyon’s confidence in the project,” said Peter Schwartz of PNGS. “The Washington DC
submarket continues to remain strong, and significant job growth is anticipated with major companies
and government agencies, including the FBI, DHS and Andrews Air Force Base, expanding operations or
relocating in Prince George County, driving the need for new multifamily supply.”
Allure will be a six-story, Class-A property with 375,151 rentable square feet set on a 5.84-acre site
adjacent to the Branch Avenue Metro Station. It will consist of 18 studios (4.7% of total), 176 one-bedroom
apartments (45.8% of total) and 190 two-bedroom apartments (49.5% of total). Unit finishes will include
stainless steel appliances, full-sized washers and dryers, granite kitchen countertops and LED track
lighting. The property will be managed by Kettler Management and amenities include a fully-equipped
wellness club, media room, game room, pet spa, pool, water garden, Zen garden, café, common area WiFi, 24-hour video surveillance, storage facilities, bicycle racks, electric car charging stations and 650
structured parking stalls.
“We are excited to break ground on the project later this month,” said Laird Heikens of Hensel Phelps.
“We are proud to continue working to bring the vision of the Apollo development to life with an additional
384 units of high-quality residential housing at Allure.”
