Groton, CT Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, completed the sale of The Ledges Apartment Homes, a 339-unit multifamily property. The sale price was not disclosed.

“The asset is extremely well positioned to benefit from the exceptional growth at Electric Boat/General Dynamics and the secondary companies that support the design and construction of Virginia- and Columbia-class submarines,” said Victor Nolletti, senior managing director and lead advisor for the IPA Northeast team. “The transaction highlights IPA’s ability to bring a strong understanding of secondary markets to a broad and diverse investor base.”

Nolletti, assisted by Eric Pentore, IPA first vice president, and Wes Klockner, senior associate with Marcus & Millichap, exclusively represented the seller, B.A.G. Investments Inc., and procured the buyer, Merion Realty Partners.

Constructed in 2004 on 30 wooded acres in a quiet country setting, The Ledges Apartment Homes is composed of 14 residential buildings and a leasing office/community center. The property has 11 units per acre and the average unit size is 1,034 s/f.

The property is located near the Thames River and one of the area’s most active retail corridors, Long Hill Rd./U.S. Rte. 1. The location provides access to I-95, Hartford, New Haven, Rhode Island and Boston. 

The New London Shoreline East train station is less than 10 minutes away.
