The new owner of the 149-unit apartment complex is a group that’s affiliated with San Francisco-based Interstate Equities Corp. and New Jersey-based PGIM, the global investment management unit of Prudential Financial, a life insurance titan.
The four-story complex consists of one- and two-bedroom units and features a swimming pool among its amenities, according to the Apartment Finder website. The apartment hub was built in 2016.
