The 2011-built asset was sold by Satellite Investors LLC and picked up by Westdale Investment Partners LLC, a Chicago-based multifamily investor. The Class A asset was 97 percent leased at the time of sale.

“Waterstone Apartments experienced one of the better lease-ups the developer has seen of late in the northeastern Atlanta submarket,” says Ron Cameron, senior vice president at Colliers International, Atlanta. “This will be a long-term hold for the buyer, who will put their management team in place and maintain the excellent performance of this property.”

Located about 25 miles northeast of Atlanta, Waterstone Apartments features a saltwater pool, a fitness center, business center with coffee bar, a clubhouse with media and game rooms, and an auto detailing bay.
