The Preble Way Apartments represent a one-of-a-kind multifamily project in one of the fastest growing, developer-friendly new markets in central Oregon. As Bend and Sunriver markets are typically seen as the core high-demand market areas in central Oregon, La Pine is positioned to be the next area of residential and multifamily growth while offering similar local attractions, amenities and services at more attractive pricing relative to Bend. La Pine is already experiencing a surge in growth by local single-family developers evidenced by recent nearby developments in the Newberry Development zone (see Location Description for more information). OPERATIONS Pre-leasing and lease-up activity will be handled by Cobalt Management, one of Central Oregon’s premiere professional multifamily property management firms.

Most notably, the 36-unit Pine View Apartments located in north La Pine which were completed and fully leased this year. Current rents for 850SF - 2BD/2BA units in the Pine View project are currently renting for $1,725/unit or $2.02/SF.
