ABI Multifamily, a multifamily brokerage and advisory services firm, announced the sale of Paradise Arbor, an apartment community located in Phoenix. The 28-unit garden-style community was originally built in 1985, with renovations in 2011 and 2012, and sold for $1,176,000 or approximately $42,000 per unit.

“This is a well constructed all two bedroom community located in the desirable North East part of Phoenix. The purchase price of Paradise Arbor Apartments represents a value that is well below current replacement cost. The buyer expects to further improve the property with more interior renovations and the rental rates in this in-fill submarket will grow nicely over the next several years,” stated John Kobierowski, Senior Managing Partner at ABI and the lead broker representing the buyer for this transaction.

“The seller purchased Paradise Arbor during our last downturn. Simply put, the selling entity made a great buy in 2011 purchasing this property. Many of the prospective buyers had interest in this property due to its mid ’80s construction, large average unit sizes, all two bedroom community aspect and it being individually metered,” stated Alon Shnitzer, Senior Managing Partner at ABI and the lead broker representing the seller for this transaction.
