Colliers International Negotiates Sale of 352-Unit Luxury Community in Chandler, Arizona
Phoenix, AZ – Colliers International in Greater Phoenix completed the sale of The Fairways, a 352-unit, Class A apartment community at 777 W. Chandler Blvd., in Chandler, Arizona, for $47 million or $133,523 per unit.
The seller was BAZV Fairways LLC, of Scottsdale, Arizona, a company formed by The Bascom Group of Irvine, California. Cindy Cooke, senior executive vice president; and Brad Cooke, senior vice president, of Colliers’ Phoenix office, represented the seller. The buyer was Virtú Investments, LLC, of Larkspur, California, a privately held investment company.
“The Fairways provided an opportunity for Virtú to purchase a stable Class A asset with 95 percent occupancy in a thriving submarket with strong economic drivers,” said Cindy Cooke. “The property is well-positioned for the new owner to realize significant revenue upside and increased value by continuing renovations that were started by the seller.”
