Horvath & Tremblay worked with the seller and procured the buyer in the transaction. The asset sold for $74 million which represents $268,115 per unit.
The Presidential Estates are located at 2 Presidential Dr. Situated in a high-density, urban-infill, Quincy Point neighborhood, the highly-walkable location is convenient to area retailers, marinas, parks, beaches and is a short commute to Downtown Boston. Constructed in 1971, The Presidential Estates is a 276-unit residential community comprised of 120 one-bedroom/one-bathroom units and 156 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units with 278,826 s/f of living area in 308,970 s/f of total area on a large and secluded 12.49 acres. The apartments are separately metered for electricity, electric heat, electric hot water, and air-conditioning which the tenants pay for directly. The landlord pays for water & sewer for the residential units. Most of the residential units feature balconies and some offer vaulted ceilings and skylights. The property also features an on-site laundry facility, clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, tennis courts, grill area, courtyard, and 24/7 on-site management.
