Cambridge, MA NAI Hunneman, a leading provider of commercial real estate services, brokered the $8.7 million sale of a 23-unit multifamily portfolio located 131-157 Columbia St., 200 Harvard St., and 220-222 Prospect St. in the Central Sq. neighborhood of the city.

Executive vice president Carl Christie, assisted by assistant vice presidents Dan McGee and Henry Lieber represented the seller Columbia LLC and procured the buyer Columbia Prospect Family L.P.

“The sale drew significant interest from middle market investors, due to the rather rare opportunity to establish an ownership interest in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Cambridge,” said Christie. “In the last 2 years there have only been 6 apartment sales in Cambridge over 20 units, almost all being larger institutional sales ranging from $30-$200 million. There have not been many comparable buying opportunities for assets of this size.”

The portfolio consists of 131-151 Columbia St. & 200 Harvard St.; a seventeen unit mixed-use building located on the corner of Columbia and Harvard St. within walking distance of Central Sq. The building includes four street-level commercial stores and thirteen apartment units. The other property, 220-222 Prospect St., is a 6-unit apartment building located between Central Sq. and Inman Sq. Both sites are.4 miles (8 minute walk) from each other.
