Newmark Multifamily announces the sale of Monaco South, a 220-unit, multifamily property located at 2280 South Monaco Parkway in Denver. Comprised of two solidly constructed concrete mid-rise assets, Monaco South sold for $36,000,000, or $163,636 per unit.
Newmark Vice Chairmen Shane Ozment and Terrance Hunt, Executive Managing Director Justin Hunt and Senior Managing Director Andy Hellman represented the seller, Capital Real Estate, LLC (CRE), a Denver-based real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, management and disposition of multifamily real estate investments. Grand Peaks Properties, Inc. in partnership with Aegon Asset Management purchased the property.
“Monaco South offered investors the opportunity to acquire an asset with proven upside potential, centrally located between several employment hubs and retail options, in a strong multifamily market,” stated Ozment. “With only 15% of the units currently renovated, the new owner, Grand Peaks, plans a complete renovation of Monaco South for a significant increase to the asset’s bottom line.”
Constructed in 1971, Monaco South offers an attractive mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments averaging 744 square feet. Situated on 7.03 acres, the apartment community’s density is 31.29 units per acre. Community amenities at Monaco South include two pools, a clubhouse, fitness center, playground, business center, elevators and covered parking. Renovated units feature stainless steel appliances, new laminate flooring, modern lighting and brushed nickel fixtures.
