An investor consortium led by Affinius Capital and Vista Hill Partners has finalized the $3.5 billion acquisition of Veris Residential. The transaction, which was initially announced in February 2026, involves an all-cash deal at $19.00 per share, resulting in the privatization of the former multifamily REIT. The financing for this major acquisition included a combination of debt and equity, notably featuring a $2.1 billion bridge loan.

Veris Residential’s portfolio is comprised of Class A multifamily assets situated throughout the Northeast, with a heavy concentration in the New York City metro area, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Affinius Capital, which maintains approximately $61 billion in assets under management, plans to leverage the portfolio to enhance performance and meet its long-term return objectives.
