 “Salt Lake City is a very hot market that we have aggressively pursued over the past two years,” said Keith Wasserman, partner with Gelt, Inc. 

“We are pleased to acquire this prime property at significantly below replacement cost and at an excellent basis as very little product trades hands and many transactions occur off-market.”

The previous owners invested $3 million from 2007-2014 into Murray Ridge including asphalt resurfacing, interior upgrades to some units, renovations to the leasing office and clubhouse areas, and pool upgrades. 

Gelt plans to make additional capital improvements to some of the units, as well as upgrades to common areas and landscaping. 

Gelt was represented by Sage Sawyer and Jed Millburn of Equimark in the transaction. The same brokerage team represented the seller.
