Valleytree has created an impressive amount of value at Dearborn View under their ownership. They have greatly improved the housing for their tenants and their investment value. I am sure Bedford Square and Delta Square will be no exception as Valleytree will implement their already proven business plan to create a better community for their residents while optimizing returns for their investors. We have been very impressed with their renovations and property performance on their existing assets. It was great to be a part of these transactions.”
