            Jeffrey Fript, an associate vice president investments, and Kyle Bruchmiller, an associate, both in Marcus & Millichap’s Houston office, represented the seller, a Texas-based investment firm. Fript also advised the buyer, an institutional investor from California.

            “Mediterra at Westchase Apartments is a stabilized asset with significant upside to be gained through the continuation of the value-add program,” says Fript. “The buyer plans to reposition the asset via interior and exterior upgrades in an effort to capitalize on the explosive growth in the Westchase submarket.”
