Realty Asset Advisors Facilitates the Sale of The Marquis Apartments in Tampa, FL

TAMPA, FL – Realty Asset Advisors has announced the sale of the Marquis Apartments (photos above and at right) in Tampa, Florida for $7,850,000. The sales price represents $56,071.43 per unit and $64.60 per square foot.

Realty Asset Advisors’ principal and investment advisor Tim Johnson represented the Seller in the transaction. Mr. Johnson and RAA cooperated with Frank Leto of Great American Realty to secure the Buyer through RAA’s competitive marketing process. The Seller was Marquis Apartments, LLC, based in Largo, Florida. The Buyer was Sabina Properties, LLC, a South Florida based corporation.

“The Marquis Apartment community is well located in the Central Tampa submarket - near both major transportation routes and area shopping,” states Johnson, a Principal and Investment Advisor for Realty Asset Advisors. “The Marquis Apartments traded competitively at 95% of the Marketed Price and will offer the new owner immediate upside through both rent growth and operational expense reductions.”

“In spite of overall economic uncertainty at both local, and national levels, the Marquis Apartments transaction illustrates the inherent and underlying demand for quality Florida investment real estate, comments Mr. Johnson.”

Built in 1969 and renovated in 2000, The Marquis Apartments consist of 140 units situated on well landscaped grounds. The community has a total of fourteen 2-story buildings with solid block construction and pitched roofing. The property features a central courtyard, pool area, laundry facility, and plenty of parking.
