A pair of Hartford apartments totaling 80 units in the city's South End have been sold, a loan broker says.
New York-based Aria Legacy Group LLC acquired a 70-unit property at 37 Charter Oak Place and another at 29 Charter Oak Ave., with 10 units and a pair of ground-floor spaces from seller DR Management, according to the acquirer's lending broker Eastern Union Funding.
According to Eastern Union, it arranged $4.5 million in acquisition financing for the two apartment communities in the South Green neighborhood with CBRE Capital Markets. Purchase price wasn't disclosed.
Both were built in the 1930s and underwent a full rehabilitation in 2014, according to an Eastern Union spokeswoman. Their combined occupancy rate is 98 percent.
With the latest acquisitions, privately held Aria has expanded its Connecticut footprint. Last November, it acquired a pair of Waterbury apartment complexes, Eastern Union said.
