Bill Hahn, Jeffrey Sherman and Trevor Koskovich of the HSK Multifamily team at Colliers International in Greater Phoenix represented all parties in both transactions.
Hahn had this to say about the Paradise Falls sale, “The opportunity to make small capital improvements combined with the property’s good physical condition and high occupancy rate of 95 percent attracted Weidner to Paradise Falls as a solid investment.”
“Canyon Place represents a high-quality rental property and strong value for residents in the immediate submarket. In addition, recent capital improvements including new roofs, covered parking and air conditioning units drew Mentor Properties to Canyon Place,” Koskovich said.
