  SARASOTA, FL, June 3, 2024 Atlas Real Estate Partners, a leading multifamily-focused private investment and development firm with offices in New York and Miami, announces the sale of Huntington Place Apartments, a 252-unit apartment community located at 3201 Huntington Place Drive, Sarasota, FL.

 Huntington Place was sold to Bridge Investment Group after an 11-year hold period with robust occupancy of ~95% at sale. The price was not disclosed.

The transaction, which closed in May, generated an impressive deal-level ~4.2x multiple and ~24% IRR. The buyer assumed the below-market Fannie Mae loan originated by Berkadia Commercial Mortgage.


The sale attracted considerable interest from both institutional and private investors eager to acquire a well-located asset with advantageous in-place debt and value-add potential.

 

Atlas Real Estate Partners, along with Andover Real Estate Partners, acquired the Sarasota property in 2013 for $21.75 million and executed a comprehensive renovation. The improvements included the renovation of nearly all units, upgrades to the clubhouse, extensive exterior enhancements such as façade improvements and new roofs, and the addition of modern amenities like a dog park, fitness center, and outdoor lounge area.

“In the time we owned Huntington Place, we have seen Sarasota emerge as a top multifamily market in Florida,” said Arvind Chary, co-founder of Atlas Real Estate Partners. “The combination of incredible job and population growth, along with the execution of our value-add business plan, enabled us to increase rents and value dramatically over our hold period and generate outsized returns for our investors. We look forward to replicating this model in our target markets throughout the Southeast.”
