Matthew Pierce, an investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Boston office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a limited liability company. The buyer, a private investor, was secured and represented by Pierce.

Washington Park Apartments is located at 61 W Broadway. 

“The sellers had owned the asset for approximately ten years and since their acquisition, they have meticulously managed and maintained the buildings. We went to market with a strong, turn-key investment opportunity with little to no deferred maintenance” said Pierce. “The investment yielded strong results for the sellers to position them well for their next investment opportunity, while at the same time offered the out of state buyers tremendous upside as the in-place rent roll was approximately 20% below market rates.”

Investing in a falling rate environment - by Harrison Klein

Long-term interest rates have fallen by 100 basis points, and the market is normalizing. In December of 2022 I wrote an article about investing in a high interest rate, high inflation market. Since then, inflation has cooled off, and the Fed has begun lowering their funds rate.
