Dallas investment firm Highland Capital Management picked up the CityView Apartments in West Palm Beach for $22.42 million, or about $103,000 per unit.

Records show an affiliate of Los Angeles-based Investors Management Group sold the 217-unit complex at 500 North Congress Avenue. The nearly 12-acre lakefront property was developed in 1970.

Investors Management Group paid $20 million for CityView last June, which means they made about $2.42 million in 13 months.
