NORRIS & STEVENS, INC. BROKERS $8.63M SALE OF THE GARTHWICK APARTMENTS IN SE PORTLAND, OREGON

Yellow Submarine, LLC recently completed the $8,630,000 sale of The Garthwick, an approximately 30,507 square foot, 24-unit apartment building located at 8705 SE 13th Avenue in Portland, Oregon. The property was sold at a capitalization rate of 4.80% and set a new Portland metro record for the highest price per unit for a true apartment property (without a mixed-use component) sale at $359,583 per unit.

The Garthwick is a luxury multi-family apartment building located in the desirable Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood in southeast Portland. Built in 2018, The Garthwick features a unit mix of one and two-bedroom apartments as well as two and three-bedroom townhouse-style units. The building’s ownership included Mark Gossage of MacLeod Construction, who also served as the project’s developer. Mark is quoted as saying, “quality follows you, mediocrity will haunt you”, a sentiment that reflects his dedication to an elevated standard of design and construction that garnered such a high price.
