Reno, Nev.—MG Properties Group has acquired Manzanita Gate Apartments, a 324-unit community located in Reno, Nev., for $27 million. The REO owned property was purchased from a large Midwest-based loan servicer represented by Phil Saglimbeni and Kenneth Blomsterberg of Marcus & Millichap. MG Properties Group represented itself in the transaction.
The acquisition of Manzanita Gate was financed with a $21.6 million fixed-rate loan from Fannie Mae that was arranged by Rob Prouty at Key Bank Real Estate Capital.

The asset was built in 1997 in the foothills of Northwest Reno, a low density suburban market. There is a unit mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments that average 940 square feet in size.
