COLLIERS INTL. BROKERS $9.7 MILLION PURCHASE OF MARICOPA COUNTY APARTMENTS

MESA, ARIZ. — Colliers International–Greater Phoenix has negotiated the $9.7 million acquisition of the 226-unit Sorrento Apartments, located at 901 South Dobson Road in Mesa. Built in 1983, the 163,308-square-foot Class B multifamily property underwent extensive interior and exterior improvements in 2007, including renovation of more than 90 percent of the units and the clubhouse. Colliers International’s Cindy Cooke, Brad Cooke, Carrie Burton and Nicholas Eggert represented the San Francisco-based buyer, Hamilton Zanze & Co., in the off-market transaction; the Newport Beach, Calif.-based seller, San Ai Dobson LLC, was self-represented. Having recently acquired seven Class B multifamily properties in Tucson, Ariz., Hamilton Zanze retained Fairfield Residential as the property management firm for the 93 percent-occupied Sorrento Apartments.
