This is the first time the property has changed hands since the 1970s. The sale was a win-win for both parties. With rents being below market, the purchaser was able to add an excellent asset with tremendous upside to his growing portfolio in the up-coming neighborhood. While the seller was also able to achieve an aggressive price that equated to over 23 times the rent roll.
