Groton, CT Steve Pappas and Tom Boyle of Chozick Realty Inc., have facilitated the sale of Phoenix Apartments. The 96 unit apartment complex brought a price of $10.5 million or $109,375 per unit.

Constructed in 1973 and updated over the years, Phoenix Apartments consists of all one-bedroom units, and maintains an occupancy of at or close to 100%. 

Located on Long Hill Rd., a main commercial route within the town, Phoenix Apartments is close to shopping centers, I-95 as well as the area’s major employers, Electric Boat and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.
