Willow Gardens consists of 176 one- and two-bedroom units in suburban Harrisburg. It has two-story buildings and each unit has a private entrance.

Kislak also previously sold the property to the owner in the early 1980's. Holland represented both parties, long-time Kislak clients, in the transaction. The sale included an assumption of a Fannie Mae mortgage. Russ Drebin of Meridian Capital Group, LLC assisted the parties with the assumption. At the time of closing, the property was over 90% occupied.

“This was a value-added opportunity,” said Holland. “The seller upgraded approximately one-third of the units and the purchaser intends to upgrade the remaining units.” He said that Harrisburg, the state capital and third-largest city in Pennsylvania, remains a strong rental market due to a strong employment picture and growing private industry.

The Bethlehem Silk Mill offers 61 one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom loft-style units in a converted former silk mill factory, which was renovated in 2010, in downtown Bethlehem.

Livingston Apartments has 36 one-, two- and three-bedroom units in a six-story brick elevator building in downtown Allentown. The 50,000-square-foot brick mid-rise building was constructed in 1928 and was a luxury apartment building for many years. The previous owner planned to convert the building to condominiums but ran into financial trouble, according to the seller, and the building was vacant and in disrepair at the time of a foreclosure sale. A bank hired Kislak to market and sell the property.

Kislak procured a purchaser who plans to restore the structure to “its former glory,” according to senior vice-president Matt Weilheimer, who represented both parties in the transaction. “It will again be a premier building and is only a few blocks from a new hockey arena that is under construction,” he said.
