Marcus & Millichap sells 128-unit property

Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of Highland Woods, a 128-unit apartment property located in Sierra Vista, AZ, according to Ryan Sarbinoff, regional manager of the firm’s Phoenix office. The asset sold for $4,300,000.

Hamid Panahi and James K. Crawley, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Phoenix office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company.  “In addition to the community boasting a 97% occupancy rate, current net effective rents are 10% below market, supporting strong rent growth opportunity,” says Panahi.

The buyer, a limited liability company, was also secured and represented by Panahi and Crawley. “The buyer has expanded his footprint in the Sierra Vista market with a well-located asset that still has tremendous upside potential through interior renovation and amenity enhancement,” added Panahi.

Highland Woods is located at 555 N 7th St in Sierra Vista, AZ. 

Sterling Real Estate Partners acquires property

Sterling Real Estate Partners, a joint venture between Barker Pacific Group (BPG) and Pacific Real Estate Partners (PREP), has acquired Cambridge Court Apartments in Phoenix. The 286-unit apartment complex is located on North 7th Street, in the Uptown submarket of the city.

“We’re excited to continue to grow our Phoenix portfolio,” said David Zeff, Principal at Sterling Real Estate Partners and PREP’s President. “Cambridge Court is in a great location, and there is a great opportunity to maximize its value by repositioning and improving the property.”

Built in 1970, Cambridge Court sits on over 5 acres and consists of 11 three-story buildings, and is enhanced by two swimming pools, a basketball court, and outdoor gathering areas for residents. Sterling plans to upgrade the property by rebranding the property with new signage and paint, adding new amenities to the common area, updating the office and clubhouse areas, and renovating interior units.

“The Sterling platform has been successful with past projects, and we’re looking forward to our starting work at Cambridge Court,” said Michael Barker, Sterling Principal and BPG’s CEO and Managing Director. 

Cambridge Court is the third acquisition in 2018 as Sterling continues to focus on investing in value-add multi-family assets in Phoenix and other southwestern U.S. markets, including San Antonio, Austin, Las Vegas, and Reno.
