Butler and St. John of CBRE/New England handle sale of 288-unit Cumberland Crossing

Cumberland, RI CBRE/New England’s Capital Markets team completed the sale of Cumberland Crossing, a 288-unit garden style apartment community. CBRE/NE multi-housing experts Simon Butler and Biria St. John represented the seller and procured the buyer, an affiliate of Jones Street Investment Partners, LLC.

“We are pleased to have facilitated the sale of Cumberland Crossing on behalf of our client who had owned the community since 2005,” said Butler. “The sale marked the successful conclusion to an investment that yielded strong results for the seller, while at the same time offering the buyer an opportunity to add value through selective upgrades to both apartment homes and the common areas, as well as acquire the asset at a discount to today’s replacement cost.”
