TAMPA, FL –– Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P. (HFF) announced it has closed the sale of two multi-housing communities in the Brandon submarket of Tampa, Florida, for a total of $95.6 million.

HFF marketed the properties in two separate transactions to one buyer, a private out-of-state investment company.

 The first of the properties, Columns at Brandon West, was marketed on behalf of a joint venture between ECI Group and funds managed by Ares Management, L.P. and sold for $46 million.

 The second asset, Westbury at Lake Brandon, was marketed on behalf of an affiliate of Goff Capital Partners and sold for $49.6 million.  Both assets traded free and clear of existing debt.

Columns at Brandon West, a 342-unit, Class A apartment community, is located at 10011 Balaye Run Drive in Tampa just off South Falkenburg Road offering access to Interstate 75, State Route 60 and the Selmon Expressway.

 The burgeoning area recently welcomed new developments such as the USAA’s 250,000-square-foot office campus, Bass Pro Shops and Topgolf, as well as the Brandon Healthplex, an outpatient hospital that is currently under construction.
