ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announces the $73 million sale and financing of Tapestry Citrus Park, a 400-unit, gated multihousing community in Tampa, Florida.
ARA Newmark Executive Managing Director Patrick Dufour, Director Scott Ramey and NGKF Capital Markets Senior Managing Director Matthew Williams represented the seller, a Glenmont-sponsored investment vehicle in partnership with the developer Birmingham, AL-based Arlington Properties, Inc. in the sale and financing to Brookview Realty Group LLC of Uniondale, NY. Glenmont and Arlington acquired the land in late 2013 and completed the construction and lease-up of the Class-A community in 2015 and 2016.
Led by its president, David Ostreicher, Brookview Realty Group (Brookview) is a multifamily real estate company with over $150 million in real estate acquisitions since 2014 and a strong presence in multiple national markets, including New York, Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Florida. Brookview recently partnered with Mosaic Development, the entity affiliated with Incore Residential, Inc., in the construction of a new, 252-unit multifamily development on the I-75 corridor presently under construction in Ft. Myers, Florida. Incore Residential is a Florida-based, third-party fee management company with multiple well-located, new construction and stabilized assets under management. On behalf of Brookview, Incore Residential sourced and underwrote the development, and has assisted Brookview in the acquisition debt for Tapestry Citrus Park.
Williams explained, “We approached a broad range of lenders for this transaction as a result of the post-election interest rate volatility. The strength of the buyer and superior quality of the asset allowed us to garner competitive feedback from agencies, life companies and bridge lenders but ultimately, we secured a four-year bridge loan through ARES Commercial Real Estate at an all-in interest rate which will allow the sponsor to implement their business plan with the asset.”
At 12780 Olive Jones Road, Tapestry Citrus Park sits in the southeast corner of Veteran’s Expressway and Gunn Highway, just minutes from countless shopping and dining venues, beaches, Westshore Business District, Tampa International Airport and downtown.
The property’s one-, two- and three-bedroom units average 1,005 square feet and feature private entrances, nine-foot ceilings, designer plank flooring, walk-in closets, garden tubs and kitchens with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and islands with breakfast bar. Many units offer direct-entry or detached garages. Resort-like amenities include two beachfront-entry pools; fitness studio with virtual spin and yoga classes; sports pub with billiards and poker tables; business center and a dog park.
