WASHINGTON, DC—A source tells GlobeSt.com that Charleston, SC-based Greystar Real Estate Partners has found a buyer for its 308-unit apartment at the Fort Totten metro stop in the District – the Aventine Fort Totten. The property is selling for $81.2 million, or $263,636 or so per unit, according to the source. Greystar owns the property, which is located at 5210 3rd St., NE, with Rockwood Capital.

The buyer is a foreign pension fund.

The Aventine Fort Totten is a three-building complex that is 96% occupied.

Greystar acquired it for $55 million in March 2011.

Greystar is in disposition mode, it seems. If this sale goes through, it will follow the sale of a 32-multifamily property portfolio to Blackstone Real Estate Partners VIII in December of 2015 for $2 billion.

Not that the company is exiting the cycle. In November of 2015 it was reported that Greystar was raising capital for what would be its largest value-add multifamily fund, Greystar Equity Partners IX. It is seeking to raise up to $1 billion, according to published reports.

Greystar was unable to immediately return a call to GlobeSt.com.
