NORFOLK, Va. (PRWEB) December 04, 2017 -- Harbor Group International, LLC (“HGI”) announced today that affiliates of the Company have acquired a 25-property, 9,677-unit multifamily portfolio spanning five major metropolitan areas from affiliates of Lone Star Funds. The $1.8 billion transaction is the company’s largest to date and increases HGI’s investment portfolio from approximately $5.2 billion to $7.1 billion.
