Another Center City apartment complex hits the market




It appears the owners of Edgewater are testing investors’s appetite for Class A apartment properties in urban and well-established suburban areas.

The Granary at 411 N. 20th St. recently sold, though 2040 Market St. was taken off the market reportedly because the offers didn’t meet the seller’s expectations.

Edgewater, a development that includes 270 apartments in a 13-story building and 20 townhouses at 23rd and Race streets, has been put up for sale. The property is being packaged with an adjacent site that has been approved for the second phase of Edgewater, according to people familiar with the situation. That would involve the construction of a 22-story building on an existing surface parking lot at the ramp off 23rd Street. That building would have 240 apartments. The first phase of Edgewater totaled $70 million.

It's difficult to pinpoint how much the property could sell for especially since its two separate pieces. However, one estimate pegs the existing apartment development trading for roughly $110 million and the undeveloped parcel going for an estimated $10 million or so.

Realen Properties of Wayne, Pa., constructed Edgewater with its finance partner Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. A representative from Realen couldn’t be reached for comment. Holliday Fenoglio Fowler is marketing the complex.
