“Multiple bids, all-cash offers and six-figure non-refundable deposits are all becoming commonplace among potential buyers as demand for well-located and maintained apartment developments continue to outstrip supply,” Wallace said in a statement. “New apartment developments are being built to meet growing demand, but construction of new product is met with ever increasing restrictions on development, which keeps supply low and buyer interest strong in core high-barrier markets.”

The complex was constructed in 2010. The apartments include studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans. – Katherine Clarke
