ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announced the sale of its second South Florida, value-add multihousing investment opportunity this month. Following the recent disposition of Addison Place Apartment Homes in Boca Raton, Florida, ARA Newmark has sold The Glen at Lauderhill, a 405-unit, garden-style apartment community located in Lauderhill, Florida for an undisclosed price.
Originally constructed in 1989 and approximately 96% occupied at the time of sale, the property was previously purchased in 2008 and underwent extensive renovations to the exterior and interior of the complex’s 27 buildings. The repositioning of the property included the construction of a brand new clubhouse with a state-of-the-art fitness center and club room for tenant use.
The ARA Newmark team of Executive Managing Directors Avery Klann and Hampton Beebe, Transaction Manager Jonathan Senn and Vice Chairmen Marc deBaptiste and Dick Donnellan represented the seller, Priderock Capital, in the transaction. Priderock Capital is a private West Palm Beach-based multifamily asset management and development firm, with a current portfolio of over 5,500 multifamily units across 11 states.
Santa Monica, California-based Turner Impact Capital (Turner Impact) was the buyer. Turner Impact seeks to acquire, improve and preserve workforce rental housing throughout the country, with a goal of acquiring up to $1 billion of properties over the next several years.
“The Glen at Lauderhill benefits from an unrivaled amenity package in its submarket - demonstrated by its rent rates and consistent levels of high occupancy - when compared to its competition,” said Beebe. “Turner Impact is new to South Florida and has a unique opportunity to provide affordable housing in the Central Broward market where demand for rental housing is outpacing supply.
The Glen at Lauderhill is centrally located in the heart of the tri-county region, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. The property also benefits from convenient access to the Florida Turnpike, I-95, I-595 and the Sawgrass Expressway, which are all within a five mile radius.
