Andrew Townsend, Clarke Talone, Joseph Sutow and Ridge MacLaren, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia office, had the exclusive listing to market the portfolio on behalf of the seller, who owned the properties for more than a decade. With four offers on the table, ultimately the buyer was a private real estate investment group, who was secured and represented by Sutow, Townsend, Talone and MacLaren, as well.
“New ownership plans to initiate a renovation plan and upgrade the units to meet market rent in the neighborhood,” said Sutow. “Located in an area with considerable rent growth, there is a tremendous opportunity to enhance value and increase revenue.”
