Mezzo is expected to offer above risk-adjusted returns today. The location of Mezzo is highly attractive to a younger demographic that resides in the Capital Hill neighborhood. Mezzo offers city and mountain views along with a modern environment that appeals to Capitol Hill’s renter demographic. Virtu plan to expand on prior renovations with common area expansion on the top floor that will tailor to the target renter.

Capitol Hill offers some of the best renting demographics, highlighted by well-educated high-earning millennials from a diverse variety of employment sectors. With lively nightlife and many cultural options, young professionals are drawn to the culture and amenities Capitol Hill has to offer. The proximity to the central business district increases the daily population and the exciting nightlife along Broadway attracts retail and restaurants.
