    Overview

    This offering features an 18-unit brick apartment building in Malden, Massachusetts. The property includes twelve two-bedroom units, five one-bedroom units, and one studio apartment, providing a balanced mix of layouts for a range of tenant needs. The building is fully occupied, and it has been well maintained by a long-term private ownership group, which has completed recent improvements to both the building and individual apartments.

    The asset is presented as a for-sale investment opportunity and is being marketed as having positive cash flow, along with stated future upside potential. Recent improvements and ongoing maintenance support the property’s current operating condition and help preserve the building’s day-to-day functionality.

    For investors seeking a turnkey multifamily acquisition, the current fully occupied status and diversified unit mix can help reduce exposure to changes in any single apartment type. Prospective buyers can evaluate the documented recent improvements and the building’s existing occupancy profile as part of their underwriting, with the opportunity to consider the seller’s stated upside potential for future value creation.
