Wellington-based multifamily housing developer Bainbridge Companies paid $3.2 million for 9.7 acres in Morrisville, North Carolina, for a 200-unit apartment development.

Ginger Ackiss, senior development director at the Cary office of Bainbridge, told the Triangle Business Journal that construction of the apartment development should start in June.

Morrisville is located northwest of North Carolina’s capital city, Raleigh, and the Bainbridge development site is near the global technology campus of MetLife in Cary.
