Atlanta—Marcus & Millichap has sold a nine-property apartment portfolio in Atlanta for an aggregate total of $49.5 million. The properties are located north of Buckhead on Buford Highway, and are flanked by Brookhaven and Druid Hills. The local buyer, Marquis Investments, owns approximately 5,000 units in Atlanta. The portfolio includes:

  • Cross Keys Cabana Apartments, 199 units
  • Hallmark Apartments, 154 units
  • Parkway Apartments, 111 units
  • Garden Grove, 128 units
  • Continental Village, 158 units
  • Parkview Terrace, 135 units

“The timing of this transaction made it beneficial to both parties,” says Paul Vetter, vice president in the Atlanta office of Marcus & Millichap. “The seller brought the portfolio’s NOI from $2.5 million to $4 million in 11 months and took advantage of Atlanta’s rising apartment market. The stabilized NOI and 8 percent cap rate are favorable to the new owner, who is now in a perfect position to capitalize on long-term growth and land value appreciation, especially on the four best-located assets.”
