     A group of investors related to Belz Enterprises Inc. and Makowsky Ringel Greenberg LLC has bought 18.31 acres of land in Collierville's Schilling Farms Planned Development for $2.4 million from Colonial Properties LLC.

     The property, which is on the north side of Winchester Road near West Schilling Blvd., eventually will be developed into multifamily housing, said Michael Greenberg, CEO of Makowsky Ringel Greenberg.
     "It's premature, although our plan pretty far down the line will be to develop it for apartments," Greenberg said. "The land is vacant and zoned, and we're just now going into the design process, so it will be a while before we submit plans and try to pull permits."
     Despite not being able to pin down a timeline, Greenberg said it made sense to invest in Schilling Farms and Collierville.
     "We think Collierville is a good market," he said.
     Schilling Farms is a $350 million, 443-acre, mixed-use planned development on the western edge of Collierville. It's being developed by Boyle Investment Co.
     The seller, Colonial Properties, bought the land in June 2006 for $2.2 million from Runnels Family Holdings LLC.
