GFH Capital, the subsidiary of GFH Financial Group, today announced that it has successfully completed the sale of one of the properties in its Diversified US Residential Portfolio in Atlanta with a sale value of exceeding USD 43 million dollars. The portfolio has been acquired 3 years back.
The Atlanta based asset, a Class A property, is comprised of 19 three-story luxury residential buildings with 306 units.

GFH have kept a close eye on the market since our acquisition in 2014 in order to ensure capitalizing on the most opportune time to exit.
