Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of Aria on Mill, a 76-unit apartment community in Tempe, Arizona. The $8,525,000 sales price equates to more than $112,000 per unit.

            “Developed in 1988, Aria on Mill provides new ownership with the opportunity to enhance value through the continued implementation of the apartment interior and exterior renovation program,” says Cliff David, first vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Phoenix office. “The strategy is supported by Tempe’s blooming economy and growing reputation as a center for business innovation and technology that attracts millennials and Generation Xers.”

Cliff David and Steve Gebing, a senior director of Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, represented the seller and procured the buyer.
