ARA Florida Reports High Demand in Strong Multifamily Investment Sales


Richard Donnellan
Boca Raton, FL  — The Florida office of Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately-held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, recently announced that the office has closed $1.04 billion in multihousing investment sales, land sales, equity capital placement and financing to date in 2014 with 42 closed transactions.

This pace is expected to continue, as the firm has an additional 19 deals under agreement and a pipeline of 20 active marketing assignments.

ARA Florida is comprised of a team of eight brokerage professionals and support staff to cover multihousing transactions throughout Florida. The team has transacted more than $14.4 billion since its inception in 1995.  The ARA Florida office is led by industry veterans Dick Donnellan and Marc deBaptiste.

The Central and North Florida Team is comprised of Kevin Judd, Patrick Dufour and Scott Ramey. Avery Klann, Hampton Beebe and Troy Ballard comprise ARA’s South Florida Team.

“Multifamily investment sales remain a hot investment product due to high occupancies and strong rent growth,” noted ARA Founding Principal Richard Donnellan.

 “We are seeing a compression in cap rates for properties across virtually all markets in Florida as demand continues to outpace supply,” said ARA Founding Principal Marc deBaptiste. “Currently there is a lack of product for sale compared to 2013.” 

“With limited supply available, particularly in South Florida, core product continues to be highly sought after by both institutional buyers and large private groups,” said Donnellan.
