Dunne, Pride and Apfel of CBRE Institutional Properties handle $42 million sale of Park Square West

Stamford, CT CBRE Institutional Properties has completed the $42 million sale of Park Square West, a nine-story mixed-use property. The CBRE team of Jeffrey Dunne, Gene Pride and Eric Apfel represented the owner, an affiliate of UC Funds, in the sale and also procured the buyer.

Built in 2001, the 143-unit property, which also includes two ground-floor commercial units, is located in the city’s restaurant, retail and entertainment corridor and features views of the Long Island Sound from the newly renovated rooftop deck. Park Square West has been upgraded with a new lobby, featuring a water feature, and offers a secure parking garage and a resident game room. The updated unit interiors boast gourmet kitchens complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and new cabinetry, hardware and lighting.

“Park Square West is an ideally located residential property, as it’s walkable to dozens of restaurants and bars, three movie theaters, the Stamford Mall, the Palace Theatre, numerous downtown employers and the Amtrak/Metro North Stamford train station,” said Dunne. “The renovations made at the property over the past two years have led to strong leasing activity and will allow the new owner the ability to capitalize on the long-term appeal of Stamford’s 24/7 lifestyle, which continues to attract new residents and businesses to the community.”

The Park Square West property traded at a 4.21% cap rate on T12 NOI, but offers the opportunity to grow revenue through unit renovations, additional income from parking and common area upgrades to produce a 6.5% cap rate by year three.
