LOS ANGELES and SEATTLE – December 16, 2019 – Berkadia today announced the sale of Colby Creek, a 336-unit garden-style multifamily property in Everett, Washington. Senior Managing Director Kenny Dudunakis and Senior Directors Benjamin Johnson and David Sorensen of Berkadia’s Seattle office completed the $80.35 million sale on behalf of the seller, California-based FSC Realty, LLC. The buyer was Canada-based RISE Properties Trust partnering with Aegon Real Assets US (Aegon RA), and the deal closed on November 20.
