The 32-unit property consists of two garden-level apartment buildings. Chris led the Colliers team that repped seller Qianlong Management—Jen Price, Jonathan Bryant and Maggie Collins; the buyer was local owner Tremont Asset Management. Colliers' Stephen Horan coordinated financing for the buyer through JP Morgan Chase.
