Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a brokerage division of Marcus & Millichap serving the needs of institutional and major private investors, has arranged the sale of Adobe Ridge, a 224-unit apartment complex in Glendale, Ariz. The $26,050,000 sales price equates to $116,000 per unit.
IPA senior director Steve Gebing and Marcus & Millichap vice president investments Cliff David advised the seller, Farnum Properties LLC. The buyer is The Praedium Group.
“Adobe Ridge is located between the affluent and amenity-rich trade area known as Arrowhead and the North I-17/ Deer Valley Employment Corridor, an area encompassing more than 17.5 million square feet of retail, office, industrial and flex space with more than 51,000 employees,” says Gebing. “The benefit of the property’s position within the competitive landscape of the submarket is that it provides for a captive rental audience by bisecting the two major employment concentrations.”
Built in 2005 on almost 15 acres by MLP Investments, the property is located at 4545 West Beardsley Road in Glendale. It is adjacent to Loop 101 (the Agua Fria Freeway) and has approximately 1,144 linear feet of drive-by visibility from an estimated 153,000 daily freeway commuters.
Each Adobe Ridge apartment home features nine-foot ceilings, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, full-sized washer and dryer, storage space, large walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and a private patio or balcony with additional outside storage. Linen closets and kitchen islands are available in select units. Community amenities include a stand-alone leasing office and separate clubhouse with kitchenette and fireplace, a fitness center with cardio and weight training equipment, a fully appointed business center, a resort-style swimming pool and spa with covered cabanas, outdoor spaces featuring picnic areas and barbecue grills, controlled access gated entry and 40 detached garages with automatic door openers.
