Sponsor Description
The Sponsor is controlled by Vision Properties, a developer of commercial and mixed-use real estate properties in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states. The developer has been successfully developing a broad spectrum of residential and commercial real estate for over 30 years. Its portfolio includes a range of new or adaptive reuse construction. Housing is the primary specialty, but the portfolio also includes office, retail, and institutional buildings. Student housing is a recent focus, capitalizing on experience with colleges and universities to construct or renovate dormitories, academic buildings and recreational facilities.
The Sponsor has successfully completed Phase I of this development on an adjacent parcel. Phase I opened for occupancy by tenants in last August, 2018.
