SYRACUSE, NY: August 7, 2018 – Cushman & Wakefield and Pyramid Brokerage Company have arranged the sale of Nob Hill Apartments, a 761-unit multifamily complex located at 100 Lafayette Road in Syracuse, N.Y. The asset, which traded for $58.5 million, was acquired by Sinatra & Company Real Estate of Buffalo, N.Y. in a joint venture with Santa Monica, Cal.-based hotel management and development company, Windsor Capital Group, and a minority equity investment from Basalt Capital LLC, a real estate investment and advisory firm.

Pyramid Brokerage Company’s Robert W. Scherreik, CCIM, SIOR, MCR and John L.

Nob Hill is one of the largest apartment complexes in Syracuse, ideally located just minutes from major commuting corridors, the Syracuse Central Business District, Syracuse University and the area’s largest employer, SUNY Upstate Medical University.
