It was around 2013 when the Fuyang Tobacco Company decided to build an apartment complex for its employees. The company had six county branch companies, and my second elder brother worked in one of them.
My second elder brother had only one daughter, and she was already married. My second elder brother owned a three-story house in our hometown county and an apartment in Shanghai.
He didn't need another apartment. However, he was eligible to purchase two apartments. The apartments that the company was going to build were priced very low because they were different from the commercial apartments constructed by real estate developers.
The apartments the company planned to build were actually a form of welfare for its employees. The company raised funds from the employees and didn't make any profit from this project.
My brother asked me if I was interested in buying one or both apartments, as I could use his purchasing qualification.
At that time, my son was already in his twenties. According to Chinese tradition, it was about time for him to get married, and I should buy an apartment for his future marriage.
After discussing with my wife, we decided to buy both apartments. My son would need one, and my wife and I would need one too, since our first apartment had become quite dilapidated.
Eventually, we bought two apartments. One was approximately 110 square meters, and the other was around 140 square meters. The price was about 3,000 Chinese yuan per square meter, which was almost half of the price of commercial apartments.
We have been living in the smaller apartment since it was completed, and my son and his family have been living in the larger one.
My Second Apartments.
Seems ok but sounds wrong since apartments is plural, better "set of apartments".

Other words I can think of for qualification is "benefits", or "perks", but your sentence seems ok as it is and can be understood.

My Second Set of Apartments.
"second" implies the singular, but "apartments" is plural. To make "apartments" singular, you can use "set of".
