Apartments This is not the first such purchase for Jones & Murphy Inc., the buying entity for CV Associates, Welles said. “They’ve been a real estate syndicator, primarily in multifamily, since the early ’70s,” he said, adding that just last year, the company was involved in the purchase of Glen Park, a 464-unit complex in Federal Way. The sale, finalized May 8, is part of former owner Covington Farms Apartments LLC’s plan to exit the multifamily housing market and purchase commercial real estate in the Seattle area, said Ed Delava, Chief Financial Officer of ACF Property Management, the managing member of Los Angeles-based Covington Farms Apartments LLC.

Club The deal will allow the college, Trajal USA, to offer its students training in golf course operations, said Katsu Nishimoto, the school’s top executive, who has been a member at Mill Creek since 1988. It also will mean little change in how the club operates, Nishimoto said. The only likely change is that the new owners want to offer equity memberships to new and current members. Exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the sale price was close to the $7 million that golf course developer United Development Corp. had sought, according to a statement from the company. The deal will close this month. Everett Farmers

Marine plans weeklong shutdown All eight Brunswick boat-building plants nationwide will shut down for one to five weeks this year, in an effort to clear out inventory, spokesman Dan Kubera said. Another 170 jobs nationwide are being eliminated, he added. He didn’t know how many layoffs will occur at Arlington, where the company has more than 400 workers. The announcement came as Brunswick, the nation’s No. 2 boat manufacturer, announced a 38 percent decline in first-quarter profits and lowered expectations for full-year earnings amid what it expects to be a 10 percent drop in marine sales for 2001. Other cost-reduction moves include a hiring freeze, reduced bonus accruals, travel restrictions, the sale of noncore assets and delay of nonessential capital projects, the company said.
