ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – January 29, 2019 – San Francisco-based real estate investment firm Hamilton Zanze (HZ) sold The Pearl at Spring Creek Apartments in Albuquerque, NM on December 19, 2018.

Pearl at Spring Creek Apartments is located just seven miles southeast of Downtown Albuquerque in the Siesta Hills neighborhood.
