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.

With its partner, Lionstone Investments, Penzance retained MAC Realty Advisors to help sell the site. To boost its value, the JV received approval to build a 330-unit apartment building.
