The all-cash transaction values each share of the real estate investment trust known broadly as Air Communities at $39.12 per share – a 25% premium on their previous close.

$AIRC currently owns 76 rental housing communities in Miami, Boston, Los Angeles and other coastal markets. Nadeem Meghji – the global co-head of Blackstone Real Estate said in a press release today:

We’re very impressed by the terrific operating team at Air Communities and look forward to working closely with them, while continuing to deliver a fantastic resident experience.

Wall Street currently has a consensus “overweight” rating on $BX that pays a dividend yield of 3.34% at writing.

Blackstone to spend further on Apartment Income

Blackstone Inc also committed to spending an additional $400 million on improving the rental housing communities that Apartment Income owns – added the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
