Residents of Point Ruston enjoy the benefits of a modern urban oasis with outstanding walkability to a broad array of boutique retailers, entertainment destinations, live music, miles of waterfront trails and hundreds of acres of parks.

The JLL Capital Markets Investment Sales team that represented the developer was led by Senior Managing Directors David Young and Corey Marx, Senior Director Chris Ross, Director Jordan Louie and Associate Michael Lyford.

“Yet again Chris Ross and his investment sales team coordinated an excellent outcome for us in the Tacoma market,” Said Developer Loren McBride Cohen. “In partnership with Tom Wilson, who originally sourced our construction financing, the team at JLL has helped move the Point Ruston project forward in very meaningful ways.”

“The sale of Village on Main Apartments is further evidence that buyer appetite is returning to the Seattle/Tacoma MSA in a big way as we begin to emerge from COVID – especially for well-located assets in high-growth submarkets with the appeal of a truly unique master-planned community like Point Ruston.”, added Chris Ross.
