ATHENS, GA-University Apartments on Riverbend, a 154-unit student housing complex near the University of Georgia campus, has been purchased by Chicago-based Cardinal Group Investments LLC for just over $10.8 million. The transaction includes a $9.7-million assumable conduit loan.

The complex, which totals 495 beds and is being renamed The U on Riverbend, last sold in 2006 to a joint-venture group from Connecticut for $14.5 million including a conduit loan for $12 million. A downturn in operations pushed the property into foreclosure, leaving CMBS bondholders with a distressed asset, according to CGI.

New York City-based Centerline Servicing Inc., a special servicer, took control of the property and hired receiver Jones Lang LaSalle, also based in Chicago, to stabilize the asset. JLL listed the property with Chris Epp and Chris Bancroft from Atlanta-based Apartment Realty Advisors’ National Student Housing Group.
