ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announces the sale of Elmhurst Village, a 20-acre, 313-unit multihousing community in the affluent east Orlando suburb of Oviedo, Florida.
ARA Newmark Executive Managing Director Kevin Judd and Director Scott Ramey represented the seller, Virginia-based Chandler Management, in the sale to Eaton Vance Corp. The Boston-based investment management firm purchased the property for an undisclosed price at 97 percent occupancy.
“The property was financed through a loan assumption which was accretive to the transaction,” Judd said. “Also, Elmhurst Village shows significant value-add potential given the fact that the current renovation program achieved a 30 percent return on cost and 60 percent of the units are still in original condition.”
Built in 2001, Elmhurst Village features designer kitchens with pantries, oversized walk-in closets, screened-in patios and washer/dryer units in each apartment home. Community amenities include a clubhouse, fitness center, picnic area with barbecue grills, whirlpool/spa, resort-style pool, two new outdoor summer kitchens, updated playground, new dog park and billiards room.
“Elmhurst Village is in the heart of Central Florida, just east of the Central Florida Greenway, and minutes away from the affluent Winter Park community and the University of Central Florida,” said Ramey. “It’s suburban location, demographics, significant value-add potential and superb regional accessibility drove investor demand.”
