Demographic trends, asset quality, and transportation access have driven this demand. Wi thin the pas t year , CBRE’s Nat Gambuzza and Manny Sanghera have rep- resented the sale of three Hudson County apartment properties that were sold to out of state investors. The properties totaled 142 units for a value of $57.05 million, averaging $401,760 per unit. The most recent transaction was the sale of One23 in Union City. This 9-story, 80-unit building was sold for $31.25 million to Maya Capital, a NYC based real estate group. Built in 2018, One23 is one of the newest non-waterfront properties to come online in Union City. High demand for quality units assured quick lease-up and the property was sold with 100% occupancy. The third similar transac- tion was the sale of Jaclyn 32, located at 5609 Jefferson Street, West New York, New Jersey. This property was built in 2014 and purchased by Abigail Associates from New York. The buyer was attracted to the quality of construction, the need for limited capital re- serves, and modern amenities that have a positive impact on future rent growth.
