South Lakewood property marks firm’s expansion into Colorado
Dallas, TX, September 9, 2024 – S2 Capital (“S2”), a national vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, today announced the acquisition of Dartmouth Woods, a 201-unit, garden-style multifamily apartment community built in 1990 and located in South Lakewood, one of the most attractive submarkets of Denver, CO. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Dartmouth Woods is located at 10025 W. Dartmouth Avenue in Lakewood. The property consists of modern two- and three-story buildings in an area of robust demographics with an average household income of $107,000, a median home price of $585,000 and highly-rated schools. S2 plans interior renovations that will include stainless steel appliances, modern lighting, new flooring and updated cabinets along with extensive renovations to the exterior and amenities to provide residents an enhanced living experience.
Ryan Everett, Vice President of Acquisitions at S2 Capital, said, “We have been evaluating potential transactions in the Denver market for two years and are very excited to be making our first investment in the area. Including the Dartmouth Woods transaction, S2 has acquired 1,865 units across Texas, North Carolina, Florida and now Colorado over the last 12 months. This represents $300+ million of total acquisitions the past 12 months, positioning the firm as a top-25 buyer of multifamily in Sunbelt markets.”
“Our conviction remains strong that multifamily has become attractively repriced in the short term due to excessive leverage in the system and pressure from interest rates on property cash flows, but the long-term outlook for housing in our target markets remains a compelling investment thesis at these prices for well capitalized investors,” added Ryan Everett.
S2 believes that the sharp reduction in new construction permits and starts, interest rate cuts signaled by the Federal Reserve, and various levels of stress, present a unique moment for investors with discretionary vehicles who are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.

S2 Capital, a Dallas-based multifamily investment manager focused on the Sun Belt states, is expanding its Texas holdings with its acquisition of The Place at Saddle Creek, a 238-unit community in Carrollton, Texas. Scottsdale, Ariz-based MC Cos. sold the property.
The firm will complete comprehensive, value-add renovations at the suburban Dallas property
Dallas, TX, August 5, 2024 – S2 Capital (“S2”), a national, vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, today announced the acquisition of The Place at Saddle Creek, a 238 unit, two story, multifamily property located in Carrollton, Texas, a prominent Dallas suburb. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“The Place at Saddle Creek is an appealing acquisition for S2, as the property has not experienced a full renovation in over a decade, during which the Dallas-Fort Worth area experienced a significant surge in rent and population growth,” said Ryan Everett, Vice President of Acquisitions at S2. “Our ability to assume the existing fixed rate Freddie Mac loan at a low leverage point, ensures immediate cash flow at the property level. We’re excited to be implementing an extensive renovation plan with value-add updates to the property to improve the overall experience for residents, and provide immediate rental upside.”
Located at 3420 Country Square Dr in Carrollton, residents are adjacent to many lifestyle attractions found in the Village on the Parkway, Addison Circle and Downtown Carrollton, all hubs for shopping and dining, as well as many residential neighborhoods and upscale homes, and an array of excellent public schools. The Place at Saddle Creek is also near a variety of public parks, nature areas and the popular Lewisville Lake, a destination for boating, fishing and outdoor recreation. Beyond the City of Carrollton, residents are connected to the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area through major transportation systems including the Dallas North Tollway and I-635.
Within the property, residents enjoy two private community pools, outdoor grilling stations, a renovated fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, a business center, dog park and Amazon lockers. The majority of The Place at Saddle Creek’s individual apartment units are in classic condition from the property’s initial construction, while select units feature modern finishes, with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, balconies, fireplaces and upgraded flooring.
S2 plans to rebrand the property as ‘Brookbend,’ and the comprehensive renovation plan includes enhancing unit interiors with new granite countertops, upgraded kitchen hardware and bathroom fixtures. Additionally, S2 plans to renovate the building’s exterior and improve the leasing office, gym and pool areas.
