"The property is the highest quality apartment community in the Stafford/Fredericksburg region, and has leased up very quickly due to its location near major employers, such as Quantico Marine Base," says Michael Marshall, a director in Cushman & Wakefield's Apartment Brokerage Services Group, which arranged the sale.

The company plans a major renovation of the interior and common areas of the 168-unit Class B garden apartment property.
