BRADENTON, FL – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, today announced the sale of Avalon Square, a 154-unit multifamily community located in Bradenton, Florida, according to Richard D.

Avalon Square is a 154-unit multifamily community located at 3506 14th Street West in Bradenton, Florida. The property consists of 15 two-story residential buildings and one, one-story clubhouse.

 The residential buildings are comprised of 19 efficiency units with 545 rentable square feet, 40 one-bedroom/one-bathroom units with 800 rentable square feet, 28 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units with 1,014 rentable square feet, 28 two-bedroom/two-bathroom units with 1,014 rentable square feet and 39 three-bedroom/two-bathroom units with 1,187 rentable square feet.
