Kevin Larimer, Greg Gonzalez and Cole Whitaker of Berkadia brokered the transaction.

The Reef at 10100-10121 Shephard St. opened in 2016, and the developer was Progressive Capital. On-site amenities for the garden-style property include two resort-style swimming pools with cabanas, outdoor billiards, a fire pit, bocce ball and sand volleyball courts, a clubhouse, fitness center, cyber café and private study rooms.
