ARA Executes Sale of Seagrass Development Site in Tony Beaches Submarket of Jacksonville, FL



Jacksonville, FL (Oct.  31, 2011) — The Jacksonville office of Atlanta-headquartered ARA, the largest privately held, full-service investment advisory brokerage firm in the nation focusing exclusively on the multihousing industry, brokered the sale of the 23 acre Seagrass Development Site (top left aerial photo) on behalf of Atlanta-headquartered TriBridge Residential, a multi-family investment, acquisitions, property management, development and construction firm.š

 ARA Jacksonville-based vice president, Matt Wilcox, served as lead broker on the deal, working together with ARA Orlando-based principal, Kevin Judd (middle right photo) and ARA Tampa-based vice president, Patrick Dufour (lower left photo).

 Located in the highly affluent area of Atlantic Boulevard and San Pablo Road, this high barrier-to-entry site represents an incredible opportunity for the buyer to develop a unique multifamily property in the affluent Beaches Submarket of Jacksonville,

Florida.š Seagrass is ideally situated across the street from high end retail, including a recently opened Fresh Market and less than three miles from the world renowned hospital, The Mayo Clinic, and the average household income within a one mile radius of the site is $101,093, nearly double the average household income for the city of Jacksonville.

The site is currently entitled for 399 units and available for immediate development upon site plan approval from the city of Jacksonville.š It is currently cleared, pad ready and all utilities have been delivered to the site.š

 According to Matt Wilcox, “Seagrass is an irreplaceable, truly infill site located in the strongest submarket in the Jacksonville MSA.š With high local occupancy rates, rising effective rents and no units slated for delivery in the foreseeable future, Seagrass presents its buyer with an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the tightening market in Jacksonville and be the newest product available to potential residents.”
