CBRE Arranges Sale of 253-Unit The Nic on Fifth in Downtown Minneapolis

CBRE has arranged the sale of The Nic on Fifth, a 253-unit multifamily property in Minneapolis. Weidner purchased the property from AEW Capital Management for an undisclosed amount.

CBRE’s Abe Appert, Keith Collins and Ted Abramson represented the seller in the transaction.

“Buyer depth and interest in this fantastic property was strong, led by private capital taking advantage of market correction while having confidence in the downtown Minneapolis commercial real estate market,” said Appert. “The Minneapolis rent-to-income ratio is one of the most affordable among all major U.S. metros at 17.8% and Minneapolis was the only major metro where wage growth outpaced rent growth since COVID-19. This affordability has and will continue to be a key factor in future rent growth.”

The Nic on Fifth is located at 465 Nicollet Mall near the Nicollet Mall Station and provides direct access to the Minneapolis Skyway System. The 26-story property includes a range of one, two and three-bedroom floor plans and features a community gourmet kitchen, a resort-style pool, a Zen garden, an outdoor kitchen and grilling station, a spa, an indoor pickleball court, indoor-heated parking, a yoga studio, a fitness center and 25,404 square feet of commercial space.
