WHEATON, Ill., (October 15, 2015) – First Capital Advisors, LLC (FCA) purchased Deer Creek Apartment Homes in Puyallup, Washington, with joint-venture partner Lowe Enterprises Investors (LEI).

“The Seattle/Tacoma area is rapidly growing and maintains a very low vacancy rate,” said Chris Pope, CEO of First Capital Advisors. “This is our first multifamily property in Washington and we are excited to expand our portfolio to the West Coast.”

Deer Creek Apartment Homes is a 256 unit apartment complex located in Puyallup, Washington, approximately 10 miles outside of Tacoma and 35 miles south of Seattle. Built in 2000, the property consists of one, two, and three bedroom units with the majority having fireplaces and washer/dryers.

LEI and FCA will continue the renovation program and also update community areas. Amenities include a fitness center, heated pool, tanning salon, and children’s play area.

The complex is located near major highways and has easy access to South Hill Mall, Pierce College, The Boeing Company, Amazon Fulfillment Center, and US Joint Base Lewis-McChord that employs over 66,000 military and civilian personnel.
