Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), announced the sale of Summit at Landry Way, a 224-unit multifamily asset in Fort Worth.
“The property gives the buyer, Jay Duarah of Aspen Capital Group Inc., a significant value-add opportunity through continued and additional upgrades supported by exceptional submarket fundamentals,” said Drew Kile, IPA senior managing director. “In Q2 2021, assets of a similar vintage in the East Fort Worth submarket averaged 93% occupancy and 4.6% rent growth.” Kile, IPA’s Joey Tumminello, Will Balthrope and Asher Hall, in collaboration with Marcus & Millichap’s Tommy Lovell III, Nick Fluellen and Bard Hoover, represented the seller, One Real Estate Investment, and procured the buyer, Aspen Capital Group Inc.
Built in 1978 on 12 acres, the property is just off Interstate 30, near Downtown Fort Worth, Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Hurst-Euless-Bedford.
The two-story, 27-building, garden-style community has an outdoor grilling area with pergola, a picnic area, a resort-style pool, and a secluded wooded area with waterfall pond. The average unit size is 794 square feet.

The buyer, a private investor, was also secured by Payne. The asset is located at 1304 W.

Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI) has announced the sale of a two-property, 162,960-rentable-square-foot, 1,321-unit self-storage portfolio in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
“Institutional-grade self-storage facilities in growing primary markets are in high demand,” said Brandon Karr, senior vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Worth office. “Even though the properties in this portfolio had not yet achieved economic stabilization, our team secured multiple offers based on a pro-forma income stream that yielded a price point beyond the seller’s requirements.” Karr represented the seller and procured the buyer.
The properties are a four-building, 557-unit facility located near Interstate 35 East in Corinth and a one-building, 764-unit property 150 feet from Interstate 35 West in Fort Worth. Both assets were constructed in 2018 and are managed by Extra Space Storage.
In an all-cash transaction, a private investor from North Texas has sold a 5.2-acre prime development site in Fort Worth’s Eastchase submarket to a townhome developer.
The acreage is located at 8661-8689 John T. White Road at its hard corner with Eastchase Parkway, less than a half mile north of a major Interstate 30 interchange. The neighborhood includes densely developed multi- and single-family developments, including a new DR Horton community, as well as a Walmart supercenter, Sam’s Club and Lowe’s Home Improvement store. More than 100,000 vehicles pass the site each day.
Erik E. Blais, first vice president in the Fort Worth office of Dallas-based Bradford Commercial Real Estate Services, represented the seller, Morteza Naghavi of Frisco, in a direct deal. The buyer is Mmarooful H. Choudhury, also a private investor from North Texas.
The site – zoned neighborhood commercial – has been on the market roughly two years. During that timeframe, two other contracts fell out because of local resistance to prospective buyers’ plans for commercial developments.
The acreage boasts 305 feet of frontage along Eastchase Parkway and 240 feet along John T. White Road. From a development perspective, the site is strategically situated midway between Fort Worth and Dallas.
“Coming out of the pandemic, the buyer needed to be someone who was able to close and then go through the rezoning process,” Blais says. “This buyer checked all the boxes and was able to move forward on the closing.”
Almost 200 new homes are coming to Waxahachie next year – First Texas and TriPointe plan to build about 185 single-family homes priced from $300,000 to $400,000 in The Oaks of North Grove subdivision at North Grove Blvd and FM 813.
Younger Partners Vice President David Hinson brokered the deal between buyer, Carrollton-based Bluebonnet Capital Partners and the seller, a private family.
The North Grove master planned single-family home community in the northeast area of Waxahachie has its next phase ready to go with the purchase of more than 70 acres at The Oaks of North Grove subdivision.
The model homes will be open this fall, and the first homes are on track to be completed in the first quarter of 2022, said Clayton Snodgrass, founder of Bluebonnet Capital Partners.
