RENTON, NJ — CBRE announced the sales of both Colonial Gardens and Grand Court Vil- las in Trenton for a combined value of $20.5 million. CBRE’s Tri-State Capital Markets Group consisting of Rich Gatto, Fahri Ozturk, and Zach McHale represented Metropolitan America in the transactions. The CBRE team was also responsible for procuring the buyers for each respective asset. Colonial Gardens is a multi- building, 97-unit complex predominately comprised of one- and two-bedroom apart-

ments. The seller invested a significant amount of capital into the property during their tenure to improve unit finish - es, common areas, and major building systems. Grand Court Villas is a 63-unit loft-style apartment building featuring 14’ ceilings, massive private balconies and expansive window lines which offer ample natural light to residents. Built in the early 1930’s by La Corona cigar com- pany for the manufacturing and distribution of cigars, the property is a Spanish Colonial Revival and is one of the most unique adaptive reuses in the New Jersey market. CBRE senior VP, Richard Gatto said, “We are very pleased to have represented Metropolitan America in the sale of these assets. After a long period of lower rental growth pre-pandemic, Tren- ton is currently in the midst of a post-pandemic boom with rents growing roughly 10% year-over-year on aver- age. This growth should con- tinue to attract investment into the community.” CBRE senior VP, Fahri Ozturk added, “We have now closed over 20 deals for Met- ropolitan America to date. We are so appreciative of them entrusting us with the disposition of their assets and look forward to our continued partnership for years to come.” Managing partner of Metro- politan America, Cliff Corrall added, "Rich, Fahri, and their entire CBRE team did a great job getting both deals to the finish line in a very difficult market environment. These were two distinctly different properties that each required their own unique marketing plan. A job well done on both as usual." MAREJ
