Concurrent with the acquisition, GCREP IV formed a new venture with the portfolio’s seller to own and operate the fund’s land-lease community investments, which includes ownership of the seller’s operating company. GCREP IV’s portfolio of land-lease communities now consists of ten properties with over 4,000 sites in three states.

Bill Glascott, Green Courte’s Chief Investment Officer, commented, “This acquisition represents a significant step forward in the evolution of our land-lease community portfolio. In addition to acquiring some of the highest quality assets in Michigan, we will be able to leverage the operating capabilities and sales and marketing machine our partner has established over the past 25 years in the industry. We continue to actively pursue opportunities to deploy capital from GCREP IV into manufactured housing assets as we build out a national land-lease community operating platform.”
