NORTHBROOK, IL - Prime Property Investors, Ltd. Co-CEOs, Barbara J. Gaffen and Michael H. Zaransky announced the purchase of The Arbors of Brookdale in Naperville, Illinois, a 281 Unit, full amenity luxury Class A Garden Style Apartment Complex. The fully stabilized property was 96% occupied at closing. Gaffen stated, "This acquisition provides a significant opportunity to purchase a rarely available highly stable quality asset, in an excellent community, at a price level significantly below replacement cost." Zaransky added, "Emerging demographic trends coupled with unique market conditions have created a significant opportunity for increased cash flow and future appreciation in values for Class A suburban garden style apartment complexes. The Chicago suburban MSA, and Naperville in particular, provides considerable upside due to a lack of new construction, significant barriers to entry, and projected growth in renter demand."
