SHERMAN OAKS, CA-Friedkin Realty Management Group of San Francisco has acquired the 392-unit Plaza at Sherman Oaks apartment complex from Denver-based Archstone-Smith for $82.4 million in a transaction brokered by Gregory Harris of the Encino office of Marcus & Millichap. Harris was also the broker of record when Archstone-Smith bought the property in 2005 as part of a 540-unit portfolio that the Denver area REIT acquired from locally based PCS Development for $112.35 million.

The Plaza at Sherman Oaks is a garden-style luxury development at 4500 Woodman Ave. that was approximately 98.5% leased at the time of the sale. The complex, completed in 1969 and renovated in 2000, is considered one of the top class A apartment properties in the San Fernando Valley.

Among the amenities at the Plaza are a 40-seat theater and screening room, a full-service concierge, an on-site dry cleaner, a golf putting course, tennis courts, sand volleyball courts, a resort-style swimming pool, two spas, a fitness center and massage, steam and tanning rooms. The property consists of six four-story buildings on 5.42 acres, with units ranging from 419 sf to 1,300 sf.
