$4.3 million
AMC Delancey Group’s portfolio of three apartment buildings totaling 26 units near the intersection of 22nd and Walnut streets in Center City has sold to an unnamed Philadelphia investor for $4.3 million.
The properties are at 2205 Walnut St., 2213 Walnut St. and 2200 Walnut St.
MPN Realty’s Nadia Bilynsky and Ken Mallin represented the seller. The portfolio was marketed as a value-add opportunity and the buyer plans to renovate the apartments as leases rollover, Bilynsky said. The portfolio consists of 17 one-bedroom apartments and nine studios. The three buildings are all listed as contributing properties of the Philadelphia historic register.
“Even when we’re in a difficult market like today, value-add investment properties like these in Philadelphia are always a stable asset that investors are looking for and investors are willing to purchase,” Bilynsky said.
