description

 

Midtown Apartments was one of several assets sold as part of a larger, multi-property portfolio transaction with a private institutional REIT. The building had been substantially upgraded in recent years and was fully leased at the time of sale — but the real success here wasn’t just the property itself. It was the strategic execution behind it.

As listing representative, I guided a private seller through the complexity of an institutional-level sale — something they would not have been able to navigate alone. From due diligence reporting to disclosure protocols, communication standards, and contract structuring, this transaction required a level of detail and professionalism few brokers bring to mid-market assets. I sourced the buyer directly, negotiated the terms, and ensured the building met the documentation and operational thresholds required for inclusion in the portfolio.

Deals like this aren’t won with marketing — they’re won with preparation, trust, and follow-through.

 

investment
thesis

 

A well-located, fully renovated apartment building with strong in-place income, low deferred maintenance, and embedded value — sold as part of a larger strategic acquisition.

 

policy
context

 

Zoned RM-1, the property supports low-rise multifamily rental use and is aligned with the City of Fort St. John’s urban residential goals. The existing use is fully supported by policy, and the well-maintained form reduces the risk of near-term capital intervention or redevelopment pressure.

 

buyer
appeal

 

This building was acquired by a private institutional REIT as part of a larger strategic investment. The buyer’s standards were high — not just for asset condition, but for deal execution. I managed every element of the process directly, ensuring compliance with institutional diligence, clear documentation, and timely delivery.

For the seller, this wasn’t just a sale — it was access to a level of buyer that most private owners can’t reach. And it only happened through the structure, professionalism, and experience I brought to the table.
