Oklahoma real estate briefs

RAIA Properties of Ramsey, N.J., paid $21.5 million to Praedium Group of New York and Olympus Properties of Dallas for 216-unit Quail Landing Apartments, 14200 N May Ave., in a transaction handled by brokers Tim McKay and Aaron Hargrove of Hendricks & Partners. The price came to $99,537 per unit and was a 36 percent increase from when it last sold 20 months ago.

Hargrove said the increase is a result of improved management and marketing, as well as strong rent and multifamily revenue growth in Oklahoma City generally. “We had a ton of interest in this property. Nine very qualified and capable buyers were competing for this,” he said. “It's really pretty remarkable. Buyers are more aggressive in our market than ever before.”
