WASHINGTON, DC–Last month a JV in which AvalonBay Communities holds 20%, sold Avalon Woodland Park, a 392-unit apartment building in Herndon, Va. The REIT didn't disclose the buyer in its earnings release but it did report the price: $94.2 million.

The buyer, it turns out, was a JV between San Francisco-based DivcoWest Real Estate Services and the Arlington, VA-based Blackfin Real Estate Investors. The partnership has renamed the community Adara Herndon.

This is the fifth acquisition by DivcoWest in the DC area over the last year-and-a-half and comes as the company formalizes its relationship with the city. Divco West has opened an office at 1620 L St, NW.
