SUMMIT, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lexerd Capital Management LLC (“Lexerd”), a New Jersey-based sponsor of private equity funds, announced today that one of its funds has acquired “Anchorage Viera” a multifamily property located in Louisville, Kentucky. The property, renamed The Lory of Louisville (“The Lory of Louisville”), consists of nineteen (19) two-story multifamily apartment buildings and one community building.
