 The 20-story property is 98 percent leased and features studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units.  Community amenities include a swimming pool, fitness center and covered parking.  Gaia Park Apartments is undergoing a renovation that includes adding a West Wing build-out with seven additional units, a new office, a larger laundry room and a community center.

The HFF investment sales team representing the seller was led by senior managing directors Jose Cruz and Andrew Scandalios, and directors Kevin O’Hearn and Jeffrey Julien.

“Gaia Park Apartments has an excellent location in Essex County; it’s one of the state’s most populated counties with nearly 800,000 residents, as well as being situated in a submarket with less than six percent vacancy,” said Cruz.  “SDK purchased a very prominent asset in the submarket”.
