SAN FRANCISCO, CA - CIM Group announced today that it has completed the sale of 10 San Francisco apartment properties to multiple buyers. The properties are part of a 22-building, 418-unit portfolio the company acquired in June 2009. CIM is proceeding with the sale of the remaining 12 properties in the portfolio.
CIM acquired the apartment portfolio through a deed in lieu of foreclosure transaction. The properties span the geographic and demographic diversity of the City of San Francisco and, as is typical of this market, have high occupancies.
