The Dallas-based ARA brokerage team of Brian O’Boyle, Sr., Brian O’Boyle, Jr. and Brian Murphy led the exclusive marketing efforts for the asset on behalf of affiliates of Harbor Group International, LLC, a private real estate investment and management firm which controls a portfolio of worldwide assets valued in excess of $3.8 billion.

Bella Vida at Coyote Ridge, which traded at an undisclosed price, was built in two phases in 1998 and 2001 and enjoys a low density rate of 14.8 units per acre. Potential buyers were drawn to the spacious average unit size of 1,327 square feet and gorgeous Coyote Ridge Golf Course vistas.
“We had a tremendous amount of investor activity on this asset, including more than 30 tours, and many investors felt there was a solid upside potential with interior upgrades,” stated Murphy. “There is a considerable amount of recent job growth along the Highway 121 / Interstate 35E corridor, which increased investor appetite for product in the area.”
At time of sale, occupancy was approximately 93.5%.
