Liv @ Boca Ciega is located at 1824 Shore Drive South in South Pasadena, Fla.  This is a Class “B” waterfront apartment community built in 1972 but extensively rehabbed between 2013 and 2014. 

  The property was originally designed by famed local architect, William B. Harvard Sr. and has been completely repositioned within the past year with approximately $900,000 in renovations to modernize and improve the overall aesthetic of the community. 

The property consists of six, two and three-story buildings on approximately 1.64 acres of land which backs up to Boca Ciega Bay and provides 12 units with panoramic water views. 

 “Given that this is a waterfront property with concrete block construction, the sale price was actually below replacement cost, in our opinion,” said Babb.

“In addition, the property recently received a major capital infusion to modernize the unit interiors, property exteriors and common area amenities which in turn, has caused rents to trend on a nice upward trajectory,” adds Babb. 

  “The buyer, to their credit, recognized the opportunity and should do very well given that they are a long-term holder.”
