Roxborough Group has purchased the 246-unit Bidwell Park apartment complex in Fremont. Real estate documents confirming the $109.4 million sale were filed on Oct. 20, 2026.
Why it matters
The acquisition reflects ongoing demand within the East Bay apartment market, where a limited supply of new market-rate construction persists. High-value transactions like this are occurring as regional vacancy rates are projected to decline faster in 2026 than in the previous year.
The transaction equates to $444,500 per unit, representing a 65% premium over the $270,000 average sales price observed in the East Bay during Q1 2026. The property is located at 39800 Fremont Blvd.
