A pair of Charleston-area apartments recently changed hands in separate deals.
Ohio-based real investment firm CREC Real Estate recently partnered with Rincon Capital Partners of Miami and Colombia, South America, to buy the 96-unit Planters Trace Apartments at 2222 Ashley River Road near the Mark Clark Expressway for nearly $18 million, according to Charleston County land records.
The new owners said they plan to invest $2.8 million to upgrade common areas, amenities and unit interiors on the 10.6-acre site, where the Class-B apartments were built in 1974.
