Tides on Commerce

The two acquisitions contribute to Kennedy Wilson’s growing multifamily portfolio with ownership interest in nearly 40,000 units.

“These acquisitions reflect our team’s ability to leverage our local expertise and source attractive investment opportunities at a discount to replacement cost,” said Kurt Zech, President of Kennedy Wilson’s multifamily division. “Both communities are located in markets emerging from a period of elevated deliveries and concessions and entering a period of strong economic growth with minimal new supply. We are excited to build on Kennedy Wilson’s long-held strategy of identifying and improving high-quality communities that provide relative affordability in burgeoning markets with the support of our strategic partners.”

North Las Vegas was the second fastest-growing city in Nevada from 2020–2023 and is projected to grow nearly twice as fast as the broader Las Vegas region over the next five years. Recent local job growth has been driven by a rapid expansion in the industrial and healthcare sectors, and residents of Tides on Commerce benefit from immediate access to major employment centers including Apex Industrial Park, VA Southern Nevada Hospital, and a growing cluster of medical and logistics facilities.

Finisterra is located in the South Tempe submarket, part of the highly desirable Kyrene School District and near many need-based retailers including Costco, Walmart, Lifetime Fitness, and Ikea, as well as numerous outdoor activities at the Tempe Sports Complex, South Mountain Trail, and Ahwatukee Lakes Golf Club. The property’s convenient access to the 10 freeway enables residents to easily commute to employment hubs in Chandler (Intel, B of A, Wells Fargo, Northrup Grumman) and North Tempe (Arizona State University, State Farm, SRP).

Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 14% interest in the commingled fund that acquired the two properties and serves as asset manager.

ALEPPO, Syria (AP) — First responders on Sunday entered a contested neighborhood in Syria’ s northern city of Aleppo after days of deadly clashes between government forces and Kurdish-led forces. Syrian state media said the military was deployed in large numbers.

The clashes broke out Tuesday in the predominantly Kurdish neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud, Achrafieh and Bani Zaid after the government and the Syrian Democratic Forces, the main Kurdish-led force in the country, failed to make progress on how to merge the SDF into the national army. Security forces captured Achrafieh and Bani Zaid.

The fighting between the two sides was the most intense since the fall of then-President Bashar Assad to insurgents in December 2024. At least 23 people were killed in five days of clashes and more than 140,000 were displaced amid shelling and drone strikes.

The U.S.-backed SDF, which have played a key role in combating the Islamic State group in large swaths of eastern Syria, are the largest force yet to be absorbed into Syria's national army. Some of the factions that make up the army, however, were previously Turkish-backed insurgent groups that have a long history of clashing with Kurdish forces.

The Kurdish fighters have now evacuated from the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood to northeastern Syria, which is under the control of the SDF. However, they said in a statement they will continue to fight now that the wounded and civilians have been evacuated, in what they called a “partial ceasefire.”

The neighborhood appeared calm Sunday. The United Nations said it was trying to dispatch more convoys to the neighborhoods with food, fuel, blankets and other urgent supplies.

Government security forces brought journalists to tour the devastated area, showing them the damaged Khalid al-Fajer Hospital and a military position belonging to the SDF’s security forces that government forces had targeted.

The SDF statement accused the government of targeting the hospital “dozens of times” before patients were evacuated. Damascus accused the Kurdish-led group of using the hospital and other civilian facilities as military positions.

On one street, Syrian Red Crescent first responders spoke to a resident surrounded by charred cars and badly damaged residential buildings.

Some residents told The Associated Press that SDF forces did not allow their cars through checkpoints to leave.

“We lived a night of horror. I still cannot believe that I am right here standing on my own two feet,” said Ahmad Shaikho. “So far the situation has been calm. There hasn’t been any gunfire.”

Syrian Civil Defense first responders have been disarming improvised mines that they say were left by the Kurdish forces as booby traps.

Residents who fled are not being allowed back into the neighborhood until all the mines are cleared. Some were reminded of the displacement during Syria’s long civil war.

“I want to go back to my home, I beg you,” said Hoda Alnasiri.

Associated Press journalist Kareem Chehayeb in Beirut contributed to this report.
