TODAY’S DEALS: Trade Street Acquires Raleigh Apartments
Trade Street Residential picks up a property from Woodfield Investments; NorthMarq Capital finalizes $10 million in bank financing for a newly constructed property; and HFF secures acquisition financing for a Houston property.
Raleigh, N.C.—Trade Street Residential has picked up The Estates at Wake Forest, a 288-unit community in Raleigh, N.C., for $37.3 million. The Aventura, Fla.-based firm bought the property from Woodfield Investments, a developer and operator of multifamily and mixed-use assets. ARA’s Carolinas office brokered the sale on behalf of Woodfield.

The Estates at Wake Forest features high-end finishes like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and condo-caliber lighting and plumbing fixtures. The asset is still in lease up.
