The new investing entity is unclear but is listed in public records as SP/RGA Trax LP.
The property is located at 980 Ross Ave. in Dupont, Wash. Security Properties originally acquired the asset in 2017 for $32.25 million, or about $181,180 per unit from Spokane-based Garco Construction.

“Trax at DuPont Station is classy living at its finest. Our beautiful apartments offer open floor plans that have a touch of traditional styles mixed with sleek contemporary styles found throughout our fixtures and features,” Security Properties states on its website.
Community amenities include a pool and clubhouse, fitness center, a basketball court, gazebo with barbecue and a game room. A business center, garage parking and playground are also available to residents.
Security Properties owns a number of properties throughout the Puget Sound, including the nearby Clock Tower Village Apartments, which it purchased in 2016 for $30 million, or about $160,000 per unit. It also owns the Argyle Apartment homes in Federal Way, Wash., the Hanan Apartments and the Janus Apartments in Seattle, as well as numerous other complexes in Bellevue, East Seattle, and other suburbs.
