PHOENIX - Arizonar -- WhiteHaven, a real estate firm specializing in multifamily housing in Greater Phoenix, announced the acquisition of The Rio in Mesa, Arizona on August 29. The property will be rebranded to Haven Rio. The community is WhiteHaven's tenth acquisition in Arizona.

"While we are still very committed to acquiring core plus properties, well-located 1980's workforce housing may indeed represent some of the most compelling opportunities over the next 24 months," said Sam Grooms, a principal of WhiteHaven.

The Rio, built in 1986, is located in Mesa, Arizona, which is not only the largest suburb of Greater Phoenix, but the largest suburb in the United States. Mesa was recently ranked fourth in the nation for economic growth.
