Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap, arranged the sale of the Trellis Apartments, a multifamily property in Federal Way, just north of Tacoma. An investment fund sponsored by Prime Residential acquired the asset from CEP Multifamily for $32.4 million, or $291,892 per unit.

Ryan Harmon, Giovanni Napoli, Philip Assouad and Nicholas Ruggiero of IPA represented the seller and procured the buyer in the deal. Brian Eisendrath, Cameron Chalfant and Jake Vitta of IPA Capital Markets arranged $21.1 million of interest-only acquisition financing for the buyer. Prime Residential, a multifamily owner and manager, is part of the Prime Group, which also includes a commercial real estate lending arm.

Built in 1985 on 8.6 acres, Trellis features 33 one- and two-story duplexes and fourplexes. The community offers 111 two- and three-bedroom apartments with large windows, wood-burning fireplaces, washers and dryers and private decks or patios.
