Hawkins Way Makes Second Berkeley Acquisition 

Hawkins Way Capital, a fully vertically integrated real estate company with $3 billion of assets under management, acquired Garden Village, a 77-unit student housing property in Berkeley. Located at 2201 Dwight Way, the latest addition to Hawkins Way’s rapidly growing portfolio is the second FOUND Study property in Berkeley, following the acquisition of Varsity Berkeley in September.

Garden Village is now operating as FOUND Study Southside Berkeley. Both FOUND Study properties are managed by FCL Management, an operator of high-performing assets in select metros across the U.S.

“This acquisition reflects our ongoing commitment to investing in high-quality housing that meets the evolving needs of today’s students and young professionals,” said Ross Walker, managing partner, Hawkins Way. “Boasting modern design, superior amenities, and a prime location, just blocks from UC Berkeley, the latest addition to the FOUND Study brand is another step forward. We are eager to welcome students and create an environment that feels like home.”
