Why Lafayette
Why We Buy Multifamily In Lafayette
Three things keep Lafayette apartments leased: Purdue University across the river in West Lafayette, Subaru of Indiana Automotive and Caterpillar, and Franciscan Health Lafayette East and IU Health Arnett.
Lafayette and its twin, West Lafayette, form a college-and-manufacturing market where Purdue students coexist with a large industrial workforce. Apartments on the Lafayette side generally target working households and graduate students, and the combination of university and factory demand keeps vacancy low.
In Downtown Lafayette and Dayton as much as West Lafayette, we are open to buildings with deferred maintenance, below-market rents, or occupancy problems.
