CAPREIT, a fully-integrated real estate operating company responsible for the ownership and management of more than $5 billion of multifamily assets, today announced it has taken over management responsibilities of four senior-affordable apartment communities in Buffalo.
The communities – Hertel Park, Walden Park, Trinity Tower and Parkview Apartments – are located within four miles of each other and contain a combined 373 apartment homes. Residents will enjoy expedient access to Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, Walden Galleria and several additional area attractions.
“We’ve always been a proponent of quality, affordable housing and we’re thrilled to be a part of the Buffalo market,” said Leticia Palillero, acquisitions associate for CAPREIT. “Each of these four communities possesses a charm of its own, and we’re eager to implement our management strategies and help the fight for affordable housing in one of the largest cities in New York.”
The communities offer prime connectivity to attractions such as the Buffalo History Museum, Albright Knox Art Gallery and Buffalo Museum of Science. Walden Galleria, located in the nearby Cheektowaga neighborhood, provides a vast array of shopping, dining and entertainment options. The communities also are within a short drive of Interstates 90 and 190, which serve as the gateways to the metropolitan area.
Hertel Park is situated at 1625-1643 Hertel Avenue and contains 138 apartment homes. Consisting of primarily one-bedrooms and 12 two-bedroom units, the community features three laundry rooms, a community room, library and pool table.
Walden Park, located at 101 Bakos Boulevard, features a total of 126 one- and two-bedroom homes ranging in square footage from 550 to 650. Common-area amenities include a fitness center, business room, community room, lobby with fireplace and four laundry rooms.

CAPREIT, a fully integrated real estate operating company responsible for the ownership and management of more than $5 billion of multifamily assets, today announced the acquisition of Timber Ridge, an affordable apartment community in northern Virginia.
The community, which features 184 townhome-style homes, is situated just north of State Route 17 and within a short drive of Interstate 95. The latter serves as the gateway to metropolitan Washington, D.C. to the north and Richmond to the south. CAPREIT is implementing upgrades to select interior spaces while preserving the affordability of the community for working-class residents.
“We’re thrilled to join the thriving Fredericksburg submarket and deliver a comfortable living experience without the overwhelming price tag, and we believe our upgrades to Timber Ridge will contribute to that cause,” said Jay Tucker, acquisitions associate for CAPREIT. “The community is surrounded by a healthy array of employment options and a sizable contingent of retailers, and the prime highway access puts all of that at the fingertips of our residents.”
Fredericksburg and the surrounding area continue to grow, as the high-cost D.C. market has pushed working-class citizens and several businesses beyond the edge of the urban core. Within Fredericksburg, residents will be situated nearby the Rappahannock River, the University of Mary Washington and several odes to the city’s rich Civil War History, including the four battlefields of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park.
Situated at 3500 Goldenfield Lane, Timber Ridge is a two-story community adjacent to Lee’s Hill Golf Club. CAPREIT’s upgrades to many homes will include new appliance packages, revamped kitchen cabinets and countertops, and new bath, plumbing and lighting fixtures.
Timber Ridge consists of two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from 1,156 to 1,440 square feet. Apartments are equipped with large floor plans, walk-in closets and full-size in-home washers and dryers.
