            John E. “Jay” Brigel, a senior investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, represented the sellers and buyers in both transactions. The Residence at Five Points’ seller is a South Georgia private investment group. The purchaser is based in South Florida. A Texas-based company acquired College Station from a local owner.

            “The two properties received a great deal of interest from the investment community and the sales set a high standard for per door pricing in South Georgia, particularly College Station, where 80 percent of the units are two-bedroom/two-bath,” says Brigel.

 “The new owners, both of whom happen to be first-time investors in the state of Georgia, are well positioned for revenue growth in this strong multifamily and student housing submarket.”

The Residences at Five Points is a gated 264-unit apartment development located on approximately 15 acres at 100 Garden Drive in Valdosta. The property is conveniently located near South Georgia Medical Center, Valdosta State University and Moody Air Force Base.
