29th Street Acquires Fenwick Apartments in Silver Spring, MD



Chicago, IL – April 24, 2025 — 29th Street Capital (29SC), a leading real estate investment and management firm, and Willton Investment Management have closed on the acquisition of Fenwick Apartments, a 311-unit, Class A- multifamily community in downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Built in 2014 and currently 96.8% occupied, Fenwick represents a high-quality, institutionally owned asset in an affluent submarket in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Located just three blocks from the Silver Spring Transit Station, Fenwick currently provides convenient access to downtown Washington. With the anticipated delivery of the Purple Line in 2027, Fenwick will offer direct access to Bethesda and the I-270 Tech Corridor (one of the largest biotechnology and life sciences clusters in the country). The property is LEED Gold certified and boasts premium amenities such as a resort-style pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a rooftop lounge with a living green wall, and a business center.


“This acquisition aligns with our strategy of buying high quality, well located, assets,” said Henry Moore, Vice President of Acquisitions at 29th Street. “Fenwick pairs institutional quality construction with exceptional access to major employment centers in the MSA, to be further enhanced with the delivery of the new Purple Line in 2027. Located in a pocket with very little in anticipated near-term supply, Fenwick offers our investors a compelling investment opportunity with long-term upside.”

Chris Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Willton Investment Management, said “We are very excited to begin this new partnership with 29th Street Capital and grow our investment footprint in Washington, D.C. metro area. Fenwick will benefit from best-in-class sponsorship, market-leading operations, and convenient access to employment and amenities in Downtown Silver Spring. We are grateful to the entire 29SC team for their diligence, professionalism, and commitment to excellence throughout the acquisition process.”


Key Highlights:

  • Institutional Quality: 2014 mid-rise construction, transit oriented, LEED Gold certification.
  • Prime Location: High quality local area demographics, walkable to major public transportation systems, short commutes to several major MSA employment centers.
  • Portfolio Synergies: Complements 29SC’s existing assets in the region and further enhances operational scale.
  • Light Value-Add Opportunity: Planned enhancements to the common and amenity areas.
  • Attractive Basis: Purchase price offers a meaningful discount to replacement cost, insulating the property from additional near-term supply.
  • Elevated Cost of Home Ownership: Starting rents offer a meaningful discount to homeownership given elevated home prices and high mortgage rates.


The property will be professionally managed by 29th Street Living, the in-house property management arm of 29SC, ensuring a high-quality resident experience and seamless integration with the firm's existing operations in the region.
