PHILADELPHIA, March 27, 2018 -- Rittenhouse Realty Advisors is pleased to announce the sale of Las Casas Apartments, located at 7 Colony Boulevard in Wilmington, Delaware.

Las Casas Apartments

Las Casas Apartments is located just minutes from downtown Wilmington with convenient accessibility to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Atlantic City.  It offers a great value-add opportunity as it is situated in a bustling business district with many major employers, including DuPont Company, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Blue Cross Blue Shield.

“RRA has sold three apartment buildings totaling 515 units for this particular client,” stated Ken Wellar, Managing Partner at RRA, “All three complexes were major value-add opportunities.”

Corey Lonberger, Managing Partner, added: "The property was purchased by a group out of the New York/ Northern New Jersey market. We have seen buyers from these markets be extremely aggressive in the Philadelphia and Wilmington markets over the last few years."

Wilmington’s housing stock is made of up a variety of Victorian townhouses, high-rise residential buildings, and single-family dwellings.  Las Casas is located in a forested area just minutes from the amenities and nightlife of the city. “Las Casas offered investors a perfect value-add opportunity with its large units and outstanding unit mix with 50% two-bedroom apartments, coupled with the fact that it is located only 10 minutes from downtown Wilmington,” said Mark Duszak, Director at RRA.   

This multi-unit property was an opportunity to invest in Delaware, which is experiencing all around phenomenal growth, and the state’s largest city of Wilmington.
