The Slade at Channelside recently sold and at $186,000 per unit, the price is less than some other Channel district properties fetched — Pierhouse sold for $214,000 per door in early 2014.
Built in 2009, The Slade is one of the older apartment properties in the Channel district and faces competition from several newcomers, including the SkyHouse, a 23-story tower that wrapped up construction this summer and is already for sale.
