Reston, VA-based Comstock Holding Companies, Inc., has completed the acquisition of the Ansel in Rockville, MD on behalf of a joint venture between CHCI and Comstock Partners, LLC.

The 250-unit, 18-story, luxury high-rise apartment building with 20,153 square feet of retail space on Monroe Street sits at the entrance to Metro’s Rockville Station in the I-270 technology and life science corridor in Montgomery County. Upper-level units feature views of Washington National Cathedral and distant mountains.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Jorge Rosa and Anthony Liberto arranged the sale, while Marshall Scallan, Michael Zelin and Bindi Shah, also of Cushman & Wakefield, arranged the debt.

Comstock acquired the project upon substantial completion and will begin leasing, managing and rebranding the property as BLVD Ansel. The property is the sister building to Comstock’s recently acquired BLVD Forty Four.
