 TAMPA BAY, FL. (March 6, 2015) – Passco Companies, LLC has acquired the recently completed Azure Luxury Apartments, a 308-unit, Class A, luxury multifamily community in the City of St. Petersburg within the Tampa Bay region of Florida, for $54 million, according to Gary Goodman, Senior Vice President Acquisitions of Passco Companies LLC.

“Azure is located in one of the fastest growing job markets in the country.  The St. Petersburg region has added over 65,000 jobs in the past 18 months alone,” explained Goodman.

“With several planned office building developments underway in the region, demand for quality housing will continue to rise, especially among the area’s increasing population of professionals. 


“These factors, combined with the community’s high-end finishes and amenities, will contribute to Azure’s strong future as a profitable acquisition for Passco’s investors.”

In addition to increased job growth, Goodman also notes that there has been a lack of multifamily development in the area in recent years, as well as high barriers to entry for new developments.

“St. Petersburg’s current multifamily inventory averages 20 years in age, and there are simply no other development sites remaining in the immediate area that would accommodate a garden-style multifamily community like Azure,” he explained.

“This lack of supply has created substantial pent-up demand for quality housing, which was demonstrated during Azure’s rapid lease-up. The property is already 94 percent leased after being completed only one year ago.”
