“Maryland West’s oversized apartment homes, comprised of 90% two- and three-bedroom units, low-density site plan, and the absence of broad-based renovation history make it an excellent candidate for a value-add strategy supported by the Phoenix metro’s rapid pace of household formation and expanding job economy,” said Cliff David, IPA executive managing director. David and Steve Gebing, IPA executive managing director, represented the seller, CRSC Residential Inc., and procured the buyer, Silver Star Real Estate.
Maryland West was built in 1970 on less than five acres near 43rd Ave. and Glendale Ave. with frontage along McLellan Road. The Interstate 17 Employment Corridor is in close proximity, coupled with additional employment opportunities located throughout nearby Midtown and Downtown Phoenix. The area’s healthcare industry maintains a strong presence near the property with 30,700 medical professionals within a seven-mile radius.
