Gerald Smith, Senior Investment Advisor for Smith
Equities Real Estate Investment Advisors brokered the deal. The Seller was V.L. Apartments Master,
LLC. The Buyer was Landmark Apartment
Trust of America Holdings, LP, a Virginia limited partnership.
“The continued
improvement in the multifamily rental market over the past 18 months has
resulted in the highest occupancy since the real estate boom in 2005/2006” said
Gerald Smith.
Vizcaya Lakes was 98% occupied at closing. “Given the strong rental market demand and
with interest rates beginning to trend higher, we see the opportunity for
buyers and sellers to capitalize on the current fundamentals in the
market.
“For owners considering disposing of assets over the next 24
months, we believe now is a good time to be making those decisions given the
strong rental market and the inherent risk of interest rates going higher. Likewise for buyers looking to lock in long
term debt at historically low rates we see this as an excellent opportunity to
do so” said Smith.
“Having the technology to assess the market conditions and
provide timely market data to potential buyers and sellers is the key to
successfully closing transactions.
“As a boutique brokerage specialized in multifamily
investments, the brokerage technology we have developed allows us to
immediately distribute detailed information about an investment opportunity to
buyers that we know would be interested in a particular type of asset.” says
