FORESTVILLE, MD. — The 599-unit Regency Pointe, an apartment community located on 24.6 acres inside the Washington Beltway in Forestville, has been purchased for $20 million by a joint venture between Rockville, Md.-based The Donaldson Group and New York-based Angelo, Gordon & Co. The partnership plans to invest an additional $16 million to renovate the property, including full renovation on 77 units that are currently unable to be occupied due to fire and other damage. In June 2010, the partnership acquired a defaulted $32 million senior loan on the property from Wells Fargo and proceeded to foreclose on the owner, MPI Cambridge, which had been in bankruptcy since 2009. The property went up at a foreclosure auction, but the sale did not close. Following a period of litigation, the joint venture finalized its acquisition of Regency Pointe.
