“The key to our success in Chicago is a direct result of having the right people in place to execute our systems. Thanks to our dedicated team, the right leadership and their relentless pursuit of excellence – we are able to provide our investors a significant return on their investment,” Managing Partner Larry Connor said in an announcement on the deals.

NorthHaven at Johns Creek, a 227-unit property, was purchased for $50.5 million. NorthHaven is located in the Johns Creek submarket, which ranks as the No. 1 “best place to live” and the No. 5 “most successful cities in Georgia” in recent surveys.

The property offers amenities including a resort-style swimming pool, electric car charging station, dog park, and outdoor kitchen and grill stations, the company said.

The Connor Group now has closed or placed under agreement more than $1 billion in transactions this year in cities such as Tampa, Minneapolis, Fort-Worth, Louisville, Chicago, and Atlanta.

In all, the company owns 38 properties in 14 markets.
