A real estate group with ties to affordable housing bought two Alameda County apartment complexes with a total of 235 units.

Integrity Housing and Ascenda Capital paid $86.4 million for the 146-unit Metro 77 and 85 and the 89-unit Andina from private equity firm Trion Properties, according to documents filed at the Alameda County Recorder’s office, the East Bay Times reported. Metro, at 77 and 85 Estabrook St. in San Leandro, sold for $52.9 million, compared with $33 million that Trion paid in 2019, while Andina, at 1180 and 1192 E St. in Hayward, fetched $33.5 million, up from $28 million in 2019.

Trion completed extensive updates of the two complexes, including full renovations of dozens of apartment units, new paint schemes and signage, and renovations to the pool and gym at Metro 77 and 85.
