Record $180M MF Deal Completed in St. Louis

Berkadia completed the sale and financing of a six-property portfolio located in St. Louis County, MO. The 2,000-unit, garden-style portfolio sold for nearly $180 million, marking it the largest multifamily deal in the history of St. Louis.

Berkadia’s Andrea Kendrick and Ken Aston completed the sale on behalf of New Jersey-based GEM Property Management. Berkadia’s Peter Benedetto arranged the financing on behalf of the buyer, Colorado-based Monarch Investment and Management Group.

“The portfolio included six outstanding apartment communities with long-term ownership,” said Kendrick. “In recent years, the seller invested more than $50 million into capital improvements.”

The Midwest Metropolitan multifamily portfolio includes:
