The landlord pays for the heat and hot water through a central gas system. The building has a laundry room for the tenants.

“We are pleased to have represented the sellers who had owned the property for over 54 years,” Cawley said. “The sale marks one of the lowest cap rates ever recorded in the city of Bridgeport for an apartment building.

“With 10 offers in the first 10 days of marketing the property, it shows how strong of a demand there is for investment properties in both Bridgeport and Fairfield County as a whole. We expect the buyer to do tremendously well at the property as they continue to invest in the complex.”
