Fairfax, Va.—New York-headquartered Clarion Partners has completed the disposition of its 246-unit garden community in Fairfax, Va., known as Fair Oaks at Pender Creek. ARA Mid-Atlantic-based principals Drew White, Mike Marshal and Ryan Ogden represented Clarion in the sale. The 1989-built asset was picked up by Bell Partners Inc.
Occupancy at the time of sale stood at 96.7 percent. Fair Oaks at Pender Creek is within a one-mile walking radius of over 3.2 million square feet of retail, dining and entertainment venues.
