Quincy, MA Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, completed the sale of 81 Pond St., a 24-unit apartment property. The asset sold for $5.375 million.

“The Quincy multifamily market continues to thrive as the city undergoes one of the largest revitalization efforts anywhere in Massachusetts. The $1.6 billion redevelopment spans roughly 50 acres and offers a vibrant mix of housing, commercial space, and retail,” said Pepdjonovic.
81 Pond St., constructed in 1970, is comprised of 12 one-bedroom units, 11 two-bedroom units, and 1 studio apartment. The units and common areas had been regularly updated during the course of the seller’s ownership. The building also features coin-operated laundry machines for the tenants and ample off-street parking.
