Phoenix – September 29, 2014 – Fountainhead Apartments in Phoenix Arizona Sells for $8.145M
ABI Multifamily, a dedicated multifamily brokerage and advisory services firm, is pleased to announce the sale of Fountainhead, an apartment community located in Phoenix, Arizona. The 273 Unit garden-style, gated community was originally built in 1984 and is located in Phoenix, Arizona – Fountainhead Apartments – sold for $8,145,000, which reflects a price just under $30,000 per unit.
“This neighborhood provides a prime example of the resurgence happening throughout the Phoenix Metro. A few years back, when changes were being made to state immigration laws, this area and others like it, saw a significant reduction in renters. This property, in particular, experienced occupancies in the 60% range for a period of time. Due to a combination of reasons, including neighborhood revitalization efforts, improvements in the economy and resident profiles, and significant growth of nearby Grand Canyon University, Fountainhead has seen occupancies rise to 97% during the escrow process for this sale. That is a serious turnaround! Kudos to the sellers, who were able to navigate turbulent waters throughout their nearly 25 year ownership of the property and ultimately improve quality and value of a solid West Phoenix asset,” stated John Kobierowski, Senior Managing Partner at ABI.
“This sale represented a relatively low price per unit of $29,835/unit. The buyers are stepping into ownership of Fountainhead Apartments at a very good time. Higher occupancies and improvements in the surrounding area make this a sound value add opportunity with strong momentum and real growth potential. Another great part of this sale is that the buyer was able to attain a low fixed rate loan,” stated Alon Shnitzer, Senior Managing Partner at ABI.
Fountainhead is a two story garden-style apartment community located at 4326 North 35th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. The gated property was built in 1984 and sits in West Phoenix on the Grand Avenue Corridor.
