PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 30, 2018 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of the Fishtown Portfolio, a 15-unit apartment portfolio located in Philadelphia, Pa.

Andrew Townsend, Clarke Talone, Joseph Sutow and Ridge MacLaren, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Philadelphia office, had the exclusive listing to market the portfolio on behalf of the seller, who owned the properties for more than a decade. With four offers on the table, ultimately the buyer was a private real estate investment group, who was secured and represented by Sutow, Townsend, Talone and MacLaren, as well.

“New ownership plans to initiate a renovation plan and upgrade the units to meet market rent in the neighborhood,” said Sutow. “Located in an area with considerable rent growth, there is a tremendous opportunity to enhance value and increase revenue.”

Fishtown Portfolio is located at 1417-1419 East Columbia Avenue and 1243 East Susquehanna Avenue in Philadelphia, Pa.
