PGIM, the $1.4-trillion global investment management business of Prudential Financial, Inc., said Wednesday that the PGIM Real Estate Fund, Inc. has completed its 10th property acquisition with the purchase of The Arbor, a 127-unit housing community at 3260 Henry Hudson Pkwy. in the Riverdale neighborhood in the Bronx, at a gross capitalization of $73.5 million

The fund acquired the asset in a joint venture with Fetner Properties through a sale-leaseback with the seller, Columbia University, which uses it to house students, faculty and staff. Beginning in July 2026, apartments are expected to be re-leased in two phases and undergo a value-add capital improvement program.

“Reaching 10 property acquisitions, $260 million in capital deployed and over $632 million in gross property value are important proof points for this fund and for our broader commitment to opening institutional-quality private real estate to a wider pool of investors,” said Darin Bright, senior portfolio manager for the PGIM Real Estate Fund.
