SANFORD, FL – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, announced the sale of Tropicana Apartments, a 120-unit apartment property located in Sanford, Florida, according to Richard D. Matricaria, regional manager of the firm’s Tampa office. The asset sold for $4,100,000.

Nicholas Meoli and Michael Donaldson, both vice president investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, an Orlando based private investor.  The buyer, a private investor based out of South Florida, was secured and represented by Donaldson and Meoli.

“The sale of the Tropicana Apartments represented an excellent value-add opportunity in today’s marketplace,” says Donaldson. “With some of the lowest market rents in the submarket, Tropicana has the potential to increase revenue substantially through renovations and immediate rental upside as many other communities in the area have already implemented.”

“With some of the most spacious and desirable floor plans and being situated blocks from Seminole High School, the property generated substantial interest during our national marketing campaign with over 280 registered buyers and 18 offers generated,” adds Meoli.
