Ken Uranowitz, Joseph Brecher and David Jarvis, of Gebroe-Hammer Associates, represented the seller, the original developer, in the transaction.
“Boasting historically high occupancy rates, The Avenue garnered a price in excess of $400,000 per unit, thanks to its transit-oriented location, high quality lease profiles and an array of on-site class-A amenities,” said Uranowitz in a statement.
