26 Story High Rise in Downtown Minneapolis
Minneapolis – December 22, 2014 -- CBRE announced today that it has closed the sale of the
26-story, high rise Symphony Place Apartments in downtown Minneapolis. Abe Appert, Keith
Collins and Laura Hanneman of CBRE’s Minneapolis office represented the seller, Chicago based
Waterton Associates L.L.C. The purchaser was MLVI Symphony Place Apartments, LLC, an
affiliate of CASA Partners VI, LP, a closed-end multifamily real estate fund sponsored by TIAACREF Alternatives Advisors, LLC.
Symphony Place was built in 1983 with 250 apartment homes ranging from one bedroom units at
718 square feet to two bedroom units at 1,188 square feet. There is also some commercial space
