NEW YORK, N.Y., May 21, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - The company's board announced that its Board of Directors has approved the acquisition earlier this month.

The joint venture in which the Company intends to invest has acquired 573 units out of a 774-unit condominium community. The units are currently 94% leased and operated as a rental community.

As reported in communications earlier this month, Bluerock Residential Growth REIT believes that its purchase of Lansbrook as a 'fractured condominium' represents significant discount to replacement cost, with potential for good value growth over time. The Company intends to joint venture on this investment with Atlanta-based Carroll Organization, an established owner and operator of high-quality multifamily real estate.
