Executive Summary
The Rev offers investors a rare opportunity to acquire a low-density, garden-style community in a true infill Tempe location, benefitting from a substantial $7 million capital infusion and an exceptionally insulated competitive landscape. The 172-unit property has received approximately $41,000 per unit in capital improvements since 2017 across three institutional-grade ownerships, elevating the amenity set and resident experience to compete with newer Class A product while still being offered at a meaningful discount to current replacement cost.
With a submarket-leading density of just 16.4 units per acre, The Rev features a robust amenity package including a resort-style pool and spa, modern leasing office, fitness center, clubhouse, air-conditioned package locker room, dog park, mature landscaping, expansive interior courtyards, and private yards/patios. The result is a differentiated, highly livable environment that stands apart from typical Tempe multifamily offerings.
The community’s walkable setting (71 Walk Score) provides immediate access to daily-needs retail, services, and schools, while its central positioning near US 60, Loop 101, and Loop 202 places residents within minutes of Arizona State University, Downtown Tempe, Tempe Town Lake, the Price Road Corridor, and ASU Research Park—some of the metro’s most important and diversified employment hubs.
In a Central Tempe submarket with no projects currently under construction or in lease-up, and with 95% occupancy sustained through 2025, The Rev combines strong in-place performance with durable demand drivers and a clear path to future revenue growth—creating a compelling opportunity to secure a highly amenitized, walkable, garden-style asset in one of the East Valley’s most supply-constrained infill locations.

Investment Highlights
Highly Amenitized Low-Density Community
The Rev stands out as a premier investment opportunity in the Class B market, offering a suite of high-end amenities typically reserved for Class A properties at a steep discount. The property features heavily modernized interiors, durable concrete subfloors, and a two-story, state-of-the-art fitness center. Each unit is equipped with permitted in-home washer and dryer installations, enhancing tenant convenience. Residents also enjoy a deep amenity package, elevating the living experience far beyond the standard for comparable assets in its class. The combination of thoughtful modernization, superior construction, and lifestyle-driven amenities positions The Rev as an exceptional asset with strong renter appeal and solid long-term value.
Substantial Capital Infusion
The Rev features a total capital infusion of over $7,000,000 from prior ownerships spanning 2017-2025. Combined exterior improvements include full exterior wood repair, paint, and doors, new dual pane windows, new dual pane sliding patio doors, new flat foam roofs, exterior lighting package, full leasing office and fitness center renovation, updated property signage, enhanced landscaping, updated pool furniture, additional covered parking, new barbeque grills, new storage units, new dog park, and new package locker room.
Prime, Infill Location Near Leading Demand Generators
The Rev enjoys a premier infill location in the Southeast Valley, placing residents at the heart of Greater Phoenix’s high-earning jobs and exceptional quality of life. The area’s robust employment base, including leaders in technology, finance, and advanced manufacturing, continues to attract top professionals. This concentration of white-collar opportunities, paired with abundant lifestyle amenities and a thriving suburban culture, solidifies the East Valley as one of the most sought-after destinations in the Phoenix metro.
Walkable Site Location
The Rev has excellent dual street exposure on Rural Road and Southern Avenue along with a truly walkable location for residents to take advantage of the Tempe neighborhood. Amenities walkable across the street from The Rev are Walmart, Fry’s Grocery with Starbucks Coffee, Tempe Public Library and Historical Museum, and neighborhood schools including Tempe Preparatory Academy (A+ rated).
Exceptionally Insulated Submarket
The Rev benefits from a uniquely insulated competitive landscape. While new construction activity has surged across the Phoenix metro in recent years, much of Tempe’s current and future development is concentrated in high-cost, high-rise, and mixed-use projects clustered around ASU. This emphasis on dense, urban product materially limits the delivery of attainable, low-density communities like The Rev.
The Rev’s Central Tempe Corridor is surrounded by fully built-out residential neighborhoods with limited developable land, creating high barriers to entry and an exceptionally supply-constrained submarket, with no multifamily properties currently under construction or in lease-up. As a result, The Rev is well positioned to deliver durable cash flow, limited competitive pressure, and long-term valuation support in a highly desirable infill location.
Opportunity to Buy Below Replacement Cost
Given the rising costs of land and materials, as well as challenges in securing attractive financing, development costs have increased significantly across the MSA. This offering provides the opportunity to acquire a stabilized asset in a prime, supply-constrained location at a meaningful discount to current replacement cost, without the execution risk, timeline uncertainty, and capital volatility typically associated with new development. Importantly, significant capital investment has enhanced the asset’s condition and livability while preserving an attractive rent position below Class A alternatives, supporting sustained renter demand in a submarket where new supply remains limited.
