Pinnacle

Pinnacle Realty Management's Jeff Gilson and Jo Maynard have brokered deals for two of Sam Zell's Tacoma apartment complexes, including one that brought a record per unit price. The Gold Pointe, which has views of Puget Sound, sold for $5.7 million or $67,857 per unit. That's well above the mid-range Pierce County price of $45,000 for newer complexes. While it set a record in Tacoma, the top per-unit price in Pierce County this year was $84,000 for Harbor Village in Gig Harbor. Goodman Financial, headed by Pinnacle founder John Goodman, bought the 84-unit Gold Pointe from Zell's Equity Residential Properties Trust. Equity Residential also sold the 80-unit Windridge for $3.4 million. Buyers were two Puget Sound-area investors: Peter Morkill and John Lind, a Mercer Island dentist. Both complexes were developed by Holly Homes, which was acquired by the real estate investment trust Wellsford, which was acquired by Equity.
