The new owner plans to implement professional third-party property management and will complete a value-add strategy by renovating unit interiors and improving operations.

Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, announced the sale of Whispering Pines, a 48-unit multifamily property in Paulding, Ohio, for $2,855,000.

“We received strong interest immediately upon bringing Whispering Pines to market, fielding four offers in the first week and ultimately closing 3% above list price,” said Teddy Kenny, associate investments. “Paulding may be a smaller community, but its proximity to Fort Wayne, a rapidly growing Midwest city, continues to attract investors to the area. With a new data center set to break ground near Van Wert in 2026, bringing an estimated 200 to 250 jobs, we anticipate continued growth in rental demand throughout the region.”

Kenny, Aaron Kuroiwa and Austin Meeker, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Indianapolis office, in association with Michael Glass, Marcus & Millichap’s Ohio broker of record, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller,
Covington Properties, LLC, and procured the Buyer, Colarusso Properties, LLC.

Located at 1001 W. Wayne Street, Whispering Pines features 47 two-bedroom units and one one-bedroom unit, along with 67 self-storage units. The property was built in 1989 and is situated about 40 minutes from Fort Wayne.
