Post plans to sell a total of 11 properties comprising 5,176 units for about $350 million.

Post wants to concentrate in fewer cities "where the company can achieve operating efficiencies and leverage the Post brand," the company says in a prepared statement.

In an unrelated transaction, Post obtained a $17-million, five-year mortgage loan from an undisclosed lender on its Post Biltmore apartments in Atlanta. The loan carries a 4.04% interest rate and matures on Dec. 10, 2008. Post Biltmore is jointly owned by Post Properties and the New York State Common Retirement Fund.
