Scoop: Penzance Under Contract To Sell Ballston Carpool Site To Jefferson Apartment Group

Penzance is under contract to sell the development site of a 22-story apartment building in Ballston.

Penzance rezoned the site of the Ballston bar for high-rise residential, and now, the DC-based firm expects to close this quarter on the sale of the site to Jefferson Apartment Group, two sources tell Bisnow.
