Institutional Property Advisors handles $32.25 million sale of Hillcroft at Danbury

Danbury, CT Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, completed the sale of Hillcroft at Danbury, a 192-apartment home multifamily community. The $32.25 million sale price equates to $168,000 per unit.

“The property is a value-add investment opportunity with large, well-designed apartment homes and stunning vistas overlooking Ridgewood Country Club just minutes from the Richter Park Golf Course,” said Victor Nolletti, an executive director who heads the Northeast for the IPA Northeast and Florida team. “Previous ownership constructed a club room, fitness center and leasing center that positions the property to further benefit from an easy-to-execute floor plan reconfiguration.”
