WASHINGTON, D.C., and RICHMOND, Va. — April 7, 2021 — Berkadia announced today the sale of The New Downtown Portfolio, consisting of two iconic assets in Norfolk, Virginia, the Rockefeller and the Loraine. Senior Managing Director Drew White of Berkadia’s Washington, D.C. office and Director Carter Wood of Berkadia’s Richmond, Virginia office completed the $38.9 million sale on behalf of the seller, Norfolk-based Marathon Development Group, and the buyer, Virginia-based Waverton Associates. The portfolio closed on March 31.
“We were pleased to represent such a prolific developer, well known through the Norfolk community,” said Wood. “The uniqueness of the portfolio due to its historic nature, as well as the robust rent and occupancy growth in Norfolk, were two of the many reasons we had interested investors from all over the country.”
