Griffin Capital Company Acquires Build-to-Rent Community Near Tulsa

Private real estate investment manager Griffin Capital Company announced the acquisition of Meadow+Main on behalf of Griffin Capital Residential Partners, Griffin’s dedicated build-to-rent investment platform. Meadow+Main is a 138-unit, purpose-built, cottage-style BTR community located in the Jenks, Okla., in Tulsa County.

The newly developed community was completed in 2023 and features homes with waterfall-edge granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, 10-foot ceilings, and private fenced yards. Community amenities include a resort-style pool, fitness center, clubhouse and dog park.

The company cited the Jenks submarket’s strong demographics, attractive income-to-rent ratios and proximity to retail as key factors in the acquisition.

“The Jenks submarket presents a compelling investment thesis characterized by barriers to entry and favorable demographic tailwinds,” said Dave Platter, co-chief executive officer of Griffin Capital Residential Partners. “Meadow+Main is strategically situated within Oklahoma’s highest-ranked public school district, a factor that historically drives durable rental housing demand. This positioning is anticipated to support strong resident retention and desirability, as evidenced by the asset’s operating history.”

Meadow+Main is located near “essential” retail and lifestyle centers and is approximately 15 minutes from downtown Tulsa’s central business district, which the company said appeals to residents seeking alternatives to single-family homeownership.

The company said the acquisition aligns with its broader investment objective to capitalize on secular trends within the U.S. housing market.

“The purpose-built BTR sector aligns with our focus of increasing access to housing and owning communities that respond to resident preferences. We remain focused on expanding the Griffin Capital residential investment platform through both the development and acquisition of high-quality assets in sub-sectors supported by secular tailwinds. This transaction underscores our disciplined approach to deploying capital into strategies that offer potential for resilient, risk-adjusted returns,” commented Nick Rosenthal, Co-CEO of Griffin Capital Company LLC.

Last month, Griffin Capital Company officially announced the acquisition of Union Berkley Riverfront Apartments, a 407-unit Class A multifamily community located in Kansas City’s Berkley Riverfront district. Griffin purchased the property from Buckingham Companies in November 2025 for $113.5 million.

Griffin Capital Company is a full-service real estate investment and management firm. Since 1995, the company has owned, managed, sponsored or co-sponsored approximately $24.5 billion in assets across multiple real estate sectors and investment structures. Griffin’s executives and employees have co-invested more than $300 million across various strategies.

The firm’s rental housing portfolio includes 41 communities comprising more than 13,600 multifamily units and 693 student housing beds, representing a total project value exceeding $4.4 billion, as of Sept. 30, 2025.
