The communities include: Brackenbrook Apartments (168 units), North Bluff Apartments (144 units), The Landing (119 units), Sawbranch Apartments (112 units) and Woodlocke Apartments (104 units).
Originally developed between 1975 and 1985, the portfolio has been owned and managed by the same group for many decades, according to Ginkgo, which is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based investment firm that pursues value-add acquisitions across the Southeast.
The seller and sales price were not disclosed. The Charleston portfolio acquisition follows Ginkgo’s April purchase of the 219-unit Preserve at Pine Valley in Wilmington, North Carolina.
