RICHMOND, Va. – June 15, 2022 – San Francisco-based real estate investment firm Hamilton Zanze is pleased to announce the sale of Hunter’s Chase Apartments in the desirable Chesterfield County submarket of Richmond, Virginia.

HZ asset and project management teams were able to complete all property improvements within three years of acquisition.” said Anthony Ly, senior director of dispositions at Hamilton Zanze. “Hunters Chase returns exceeded initial expectations and occurred in just five years versus the projected 10-year hold period.
