Rentals Trump Condos for NBA Star

If you don't know, then your bar trivia team  will be contacting you with a pink slip later today. The Admiral is the nickname of former Spurs star David Robinson. In a JV with Wood Partners, he picked up the remaining unsold condo  units (209 total) at The Brookhaven, a 240-unit multifamily project on Peachtree Street, from The Private Bank for an undisclosed sum, says Admiral Capital Group's  Dan Bassichis (left with David, SDM Partners' Steve Martin and USAA's  Greg Knowles).

 
Dan and the crew above were in town for a broker event at 200 Ashford Center North, a 160k SF office building  in Central Perimeter that Admiral and SDM Partners purchased last month in a JV with USAA. Above, David  is with Cushman & Wakefield's Gary Waddell (who also played b-ball at the University of Florida). Ashford is Admiral?s second purchase this year.

However, he also thinks it's  "too soon" to know if there will be an impact on commercial real estate demand coming off the election.
