The Fitzgerald was origi- nally planned to be a condo- minium conversion project af- ter its purchase in December of 2012 for $1,800,000 (or $78,261 per unit), but the owning entity has chosen to keep the asset as a rental building accord- ing to CAS Riegler’s website. Also in December of 2012, the apartment building located at 1575 Spring Place NW traded for $1,200,000 (or $75,000 per unit).  When commenting on this abundance of recent trans- actions in the North Columbia Heights neighborhood, Marty Zupancic pointed out, “1445 Spring Rd. NW is the fourth small multifamily deal to trade in this pocket of North Colum- bia Heights in the last couple of years. The location next to a tributary of Rock Creek Park, the proximity to 16th St., and strong rent growth in this submarket, all contributed to the strong level of interest in this asset.”  n

According to Latina, the buyer has entered the property into the DNREC Brownfields Development Program as a first step toward cleaning the site for redevelopment. DN- REC is an abbreviation for The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control and the state entity that oversees brownfield-site redevelop- ment. “The buyer paid a premium for the land on a per-square- foot basis (the equivalent of slightly over $2.4 million per acre) but given the strong de-

It is the second investment property sale on the Concord Pike corridor completed by Patterson-Woods/CORFAC International this year.
