Marcus & Millichap, a leading commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in investment sales, financing, research and advisory services, announced the sale of Seaside Apartments, a 84-unit affordable housing asset in Santa Cruz, California. The $45 million sales price equates to $535,714 per unit.
