One of the world’s most influential private equity firms is eyeballing the financial potential of manufactured housing.
 
According to a Bloomberg report citing unnamed “people with knowledge of the matter,” Blackstone Group LP has purchased a portfolio of 14 manufactured housing communities sold by Tricon Capital Group Inc. for approximately $172 million. Neither Blackstone nor Triton have publicly announced the transaction and both companies declined to comment on the Bloomberg report.
