Tai Cohen, Jordan McCarley and John Phoenix of Cushman & Wakefield represented the sellers, an affiliate of NY-based Cedar Grove Capital, in the transaction. Charlotte, North Carolina-based QC Capital, a buyer of institutional-quality multifamily assets throughout the United States, acquired the property.
