Audio By Carbonatix

TUCSON, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan 23, 2026--

Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) dedicated to serving the company’s institutional clients, announced today the sale and financing of The Retreat at Speedway, a 304-unit apartment asset in Tucson, Arizona.

“Benefiting from a compelling 27% rent delta to its like-kind competition, the property offers a blank canvas value-add opportunity supported by $1.4 million in recent capital improvements,” said Steve Gebing, executive managing director, IPA. “The Retreat at Speedway belongs to a scarce early-2000s vintage cohort, with assets constructed between 2000 and 2009 representing approximately 5% of the Tucson MSA’s multifamily inventory,” said Hamid Panahi, senior managing director investments, IPA. Gebing, Panahi, and IPA’s Clint Wadlund and Cliff David represented the seller, Weidner Apartment Homes, and procured the buyer, Bascom Arizona Ventures, an affiliate of The Bascom Group. The property traded at $175,657 per unit, and Brian Eisendrath and Cameron Chalfant of IPA Capital Markets arranged $47.53 million in acquisition financing. “The current debt fund market remains highly competitive, which enabled us to secure very attractive terms for our client,” said Chalfant. “That competition, combined with close coordination across all parties, resulted in a fast and seamless closing.”

The property is on Speedway Boulevard, near Tucson’s Catalina Foothills and Tanque Verde neighborhoods. Shopping and recreation are close by at Park Place Mall and Tucson Country Club. Major employers in Tucson include the University of Arizona, Raytheon, Banner Health, Texas Instruments, Carondelet, Amazon, and Caterpillar.

Completed in 2001, The Retreat at Speedway is a two-story, garden-style property with a central courtyard, swimming pool, spa, and business center. Community upgrades include asphalt resurfacing, roof overlay, gated entry enhancements, and refreshed landscaping. Apartments have open-concept floorplans, eat-in kitchens, and laundry rooms. The average unit size is 859 square feet.
