WASHINGTON, DC—A source tells GlobeSt.com that TA Realty is acquiring the apartment building at 850 Quincy St NW for approximately $62 million or $385,093 per unit. Called Park Place, the six-story apartment building has 161 units and is located in the hot Columbia Heights submarket.

Park Place delivered in 2009 as the quintessential transit-oriented project: it sits on top of the entrance to the Petworth Metro station at Georgia and New Hampshire avenues, NW. The seller is the Canyon-Johnson Urban Fund.

This off-market deal was quietly pulled together by Donald B. Tennant, Jr., senior director of Institutional Property Advisors' Washington D.C. office. Tennant represented the buyer and one of the sellers along with his colleague Joe Esparza. IPA is a division of Marcus & Millichap.

Canyon-Johnson has sold a number of assets over the last several months. In May it sold the Marq*E Entertainment Center in Houston for $80 million. In December of 2013 it sold the Intracoastal Mall in North Miami Beach for $63.5 million. In November of that year it sold an office building in Chicago for $98 million. In September it sold another office building in Nashville for $152 million.

It also sold another asset in Washington DC last year: Onyx On First, at 1100 1st St SE, which traded for $83 million to unnamed institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management–Global Real Assets.
