The buyer of both properties is Steadfast Companies of California.

"The Forty-57 sale saw the highest price per unit ever achieved in KY," Todd Stofflet, ARA Senior Vice President, tells GlobeSt.com. "It also had one of the lowest cap rates we have seen in Kentucky too."

ARA also closed on South Pointe at Valley Farms, a 256 unit development opportunity in Louisville, KY, sold to Steadfast Development for $5.25 million by Valley Farms Apartments, LLC.
