Sacramento, Calif. — VerTex Student Housing Partners, a joint venture of Vermilion Development and TEXLA Housing Partners, has acquired The Element, a 288-unit, 792-bed student housing development near Sacramento State University.
The acquisition is the fourth transaction in partnership with Chicago-based Harrison Street Real Estate Capital.

All units are fully furnished with amenities such as full-size washers and dryers, microwaves and dishwashers, and access to Internet and digital satellite. The apartment community contains amenities that include a resort-style swimming pool and hot tub, half-size indoor basketball court, fitness center and sand volleyball court. Additionally, a game room, resident business center, student lounge, private shuttle to CSUS campus and other amenities are available to all residents.
VerTex has now acquired 3,200 beds with Harrison Street Real Estate Capital.
