WALNUT CREEK — A Walnut Creek apartment complex with hundreds of units has been bought by an East Coast real estate firm in a deal that points to sturdy prices for multifamily residential properties in the Contra Costa County city.
The 285-unit Hanover Walnut Creek apartment property, located at 3050 Del Hombre, has been purchased for $163 million by a TA Realty affiliate, documents filed on Oct. 7 with the Contra Costa County Recorder’s Office show.
This deal marks the second time within the last two months that a large and relatively new apartment complex in Walnut Creek was bought at a price that was well over $150 million.
In late August, Waymark, a 358-unit apartment complex at 101 Pringle Ave. in downtown Walnut Creek, was bought for $190 million, county real estate records show.
In both instances, the seller was the real estate firm that developed the apartment complex.
These two deals and another involving a recently constructed apartment complex in Walnut Creek suggest prices for these kinds of properties are robust.
Here are some details of the recent deals:
• Hanover Walnut Creek, the latest large apartment complex to be bought in Walnut Creek, fetched a price of $571,900 a unit.
• Waymark was purchased for $530,700 a unit.
• The Rise, a 97-unit apartment property at 1380 North California Blvd. in Walnut Creek, was bought in May 2024 for $57 million. This price works out to roughly $587,600 a unit.
As for the just-completed deal involving Hanover Walnut Creek, the new owner, TA Realty, has been in business since 1982.
