Updated on Oct. 28, 2026 in Commercial
Hamilton Zanze has sold the 196-unit Indigo 19 apartment community in Virginia Beach. The property, located at 1940 Pavilion Drive, marks the second sale for the firm in 2026.
Why it matters
A favorable investment climate in the Virginia Beach market, characterized by limited new supply and rent growth, supported the decision to sell the asset. The firm previously executed a capital improvement program at the location to enhance the property's value.
The Indigo 19 community features 196 units with an average size of 931 square feet. The property, originally constructed in 2013, is situated approximately 17.3 miles from downtown Norfolk.
