The $9.3 million sales price equates to $87,735 per unit.
“Deanwood is a transitioning neighborhood experiencing an influx of private and city investment,” said Cameron Webb, senior associate in Marcus & Millichap’s Washington, DC office. “The transaction presented a rare opportunity to acquire an apartment community, with an affordable housing component, in a highly sought after rental market given Deanwood’s recent development and growth.”

“This transaction represented one of the largest multifamily deals in Deanwood in the past five years,” added Stacey Milam, senior vice president of investments in the firm’s Washington, DC office.
Webb, Milam and J. Dominic Vito, investment specialist, procured the seller. While marketing the listing, the team garnered several competitive offers. The ultimate buyer was also secured by Webb with plans to maintain the affordable housing status and make substantial renovations to the building.

“The property’s prime location brought an array of investors, some including condominium developers, multifamily investors, co-living operators, student and intern housing providers and various owner/users,” said Dennis Cravedi, associate in the firm’s Washington, DC office. “We were able to achieve a high price point for the client through our ability to articulate the value proposition of the transaction and our expertise in the market.”

The apartments are located at 1524 18th St. NW in the heart of the Dupont neighborhood, just one block from the booming Dupont Circle and the Metro. The zoning, MU-15, lends itself to a wide array of residential and commercial uses.
