It's one of the hottest commodities in CRE: Multifamily. And another deal just closed, with the sale of The Lodge at Legacy Park, a 257k SF  476-unit lender-owned multifamily asset in Arlington.
 
The Lodge at Legacy Park
Marcus & Millichap multifam specialist William Jarnagin tells us The Lodge at Legacy Park, at 2601 Furrs St, is representative of a highly sought-after asset type in the commercial real estate investment market—a well-built distressed asset in a solid location. Along with Michael Ware, William assisted the lender in finding an extremely well-capitalized out-of-state buyer quickly and closed the transaction, for an undisclosed amount, in 11 days.
