A joint venture between Houston-based Asset Plus Companies and
institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management has
acquired the 250-unit Harbor View Apartments located in Kingwood, a
master-planned community approximately 20 miles northeast of the
Houston CBD.

The recently completed Class A property was purchased out of
foreclosure from Capital One, N.A.

The four-story apartment community features air-conditioned
corridors, elevators and a direct access parking garage. A variety
of floor plans are available, including 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom units.
Asset Plus Companies will begin preparing the property to resume
leasing activity and will officially open a leasing office mid-June.

Kingwood, established in 1970, has over 70,000 residents and is
filled with amenities and conveniences, including 75 miles of
greenbelt trails, 500 acres of parks and nature reserves, two
community sports parks, a large variety of restaurants and shopping
and much more. Major road improvements along U.S. Highway 59 have
made Kingwood one of the most accessible communities in the greater
Houston area.
