Virginia Beach, VA — Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, announces the sale of Greenwich Village, a 224-unit luxury apartment community located in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
ARA Mid-Atlantic Principals, Mike Marshall and Drew White, and Associate Broker, Wink Ewing, represented the sellers, Harmony Investments, Inc., and Spy Rock Development in the sale of the property. Spy Rock is based in Richmond and is a regional developer and owner of several multifamily communities in Virginia. Harmony Investments, based in Virginia Beach, is a multi-faceted company involved in hospitality development and management, residential development, commercial real estate and has partnered with Spy Rock to develop multifamily properties in Hampton Roads.
The property, which is located near Virginia Beach Town Center, offers easy access to I-264, I-64, downtown Norfolk and the ocean front. With its centralized location and full amenity package, Greenwich Village is one of the best new developments in the Newtown and Central Virginia Beach markets while commanding top-of-the-market rents.
According to ARA’s Wink Ewing, "Spy Rock and Harmony have taken advantage of the growing demand for luxury apartment product around Virginia Beach Town Center by building a best-in-class community on land that was originally slated for light industrial development. This unique approach afforded the property an excellent location, great visibility and solid leasing since opening in summer 2012. The new owners will inherit a superbly constructed, stabilized property with excellent rent growth potential in the dynamic Newtown Strategic Growth Area.”
