Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present Olde Towne Apartments, located at 748 Bruns Lane, Springfield, IL (the “Property”). The Property is a 218-unit, garden-style community on ±11.84 acres with ±190,080 RSF and a balanced mix of 1- and 2-bedroom flats plus townhomes. Built in 1974, the Property’s low-finish vintage and multi-building layout suit a focused value-add program (unit interiors, common areas, curb appeal) that can be executed in phases. The clear utility split (tenant-paid electric; owner-paid water/sewer, gas, trash) and straightforward systems (TPO roofs, thru-wall HVAC, cooling towers) keep capital planning predictable.
As the capital of Illinois, the Springfield area is a hub of public sector activity and is also now a national historical site that draws many tourists to the region.
