(Mark Your Calendars: RealShare Apartments 2011, October 20 in Los Angeles).

PORTLAND, OR-Andrews Management Ltd. has sold the Meadowland Apartments, a 168-unit multifamily complex here for $11 million or $63,773 per unit. Atlanta-headquartered Apartment Realty Advisors executed the sale on behalf of both parties in the transaction.

Both the seller and the buyer were local private investment companies. The purchaser, Meadowland Apartment Investments LLC, was able to obtain new Fannie Mae financing for this deal.

Ira Virden, a senior associate at ARA represented both parties in the transaction. The property was built in 1991 and consists of all two-bedroom two-bath units, with 985 square feet of living space with either balconies or patios for every unit. At the time of the sale, the Meadowland Apartments were 95% occupied.

“The Meadowland sale was an interesting transaction,” says Virden. “We had a tremendous amount of interest due to the size and vintage of the asset.”

Virden points out that despite the interest from groups all over the country, it sold to a local buyer. “To understand the asset’s location it really took deep local knowledge of the submarket to pursue the property at a price the seller was willing to facilitate a sale.”
