DALLAS & NEW YORK & LONDON & TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lone Star Funds (“Lone Star”) today announced that an affiliate of Lone Star Real Estate Fund VI, L.P. has successfully completed the sale of the Lofts at Reynolds Village, a 201-unit multifamily community with approximately 63,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space located in Asheville, North Carolina. The buyer is Continental Realty Corporation, a Baltimore-based commercial real estate and investment firm. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
