Once complete, the property will feature 68 one-bedroom/one-bath units, 55 two-bedroom/two-bath apartments and seven studio units. Each unit will feature stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryers, central heat and air conditioning, new flooring and solid-surface countertops.

On-site amenities will include a recreation room with kitchen, fitness facility, exterior decks, pool and spa, barbecues, electric vehicle charging stations, bike lockers, resident storage areas, covered parking and dog park.

Construction is slated to begin this fall.

Austin Dias of Duhs Commercial represented the buyer, while Eric Knowles of Kidder Mathews represented the undisclosed seller in the deal.
