CBRE’s Asher Gunter, Matt Pesch, Sean Cunningham and Austin Groen represented the seller, Leon Multifamily, one of the most active multifamily developers in the greater Phoenix area.
“This property has raised the standard of luxury apartments in the East Valley, and it will continue to benefit from an extremely dynamic location within the preferred Gilbert market,” said CBRE’s vice chairman Matt Pesch.
Located at 1690 South San Tan Village Parkway in Gilbert, the luxury community’s units feature nine- and 10-foot ceilings, wood-style flooring, a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, modern white cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances.

The community also has a two-level club-style fitness center with state-of-the-art cardio equipment and a yoga lounge. Its tiered swimming pool has a swim-up hospitality bar and private cabanas.
“We’ve been excited about Soltra at SanTan Village from the start and enjoyed working with CBRE and The Premiere Residential to close this transaction. We look forward to continuing to partner with both on future projects,” said David Cocanougher, President of Leon Multifamily
