Dallas, Texas – Huffines Communities, one of the largest residential developers in the DFW Metroplex, announced the sale of the 644-unit Harmony Hill Luxury Apartments. The two-time MCSam ‘Multifamily Community of the Year’ was sold to the Seattle-based Weidner Apartment Homes in May.
Harmony Hill Apartments was not on the market and the opportunity for sale was originated by Kevin O’Boyle with CBRE. “Our firm was in the process of refinancing the asset when we were approached with an offer we could not refuse,” said Haley Gigliotti, Huffines Communities’ Director of Multifamily.
This exit for Huffines comes only 2 years after the firm sold their flagship development, Hebron 121 Station, to a New York based buyer. Hebron was a Class-A trophy asset with over 1,400 units located in Lewisville, Texas. Despite the recent exits, Phillip Huffines, President of the firm, passionately believes in developing for long term holds. He and his brother Donald enjoy the details of design and creating unique communities that consistently outperform the competition.
