PHILADELPHIA, PA — Rittenhouse Realty Advi- sors is announced the sale of Husky Korners Plaza, a stu- dent housing complex adjacent to Bloomsburg University. The three properties were built in 1939 and converted to student housing in 1986, totaling 86 beds and 14 retail commer- cial spaces. The transaction also included a parcel with 80 income producing parking spots across the street from the complex. The units, which range from studios to four bedrooms, his- torically have had 100% occu- pancy. Rents for this property are the lowest in the market, which presented a tremendous value add opportunity to the new owners.

location and upside potential make Husky Korners Plaza a prime candidate for reposi- tioning in this high occupancy submarket with high barriers to entry,” said Steve Miceli , associate at RRA. n
