an approximately 92-acre land site in the rapidly-growing Apex, North Carolina,

the transaction. The Halle Companies

The Westford PUD

Additionally, Westford is
situated approximately 10 miles south of the Research Triangle Park and 19
miles west of downtown Raleigh. Other

“Since the opening of
interstate-grade Highway 540 in 2012, the surrounding Apex area has been
transformed into one of the region’s most sought-after suburbs claiming the top
spot on Money Magazine’s Best Places to Live 2015 list,” said Good. “The area’s explosive growth made it
especially attractive to developers.”
“We saw great potential in
Apex when we made our initial investment five years ago,” added Maurice
Malfatti, managing partner of Blue Heron.
“Working collaboratively with the town, we were able to execute our
business plan and add significant value through the entitlement and approval
process.”
