The property sold for $49.7 million or $197,321 per unit, marking Cushman & Wakefield’s second Class A apartment sale in Fort yers this year.

Mosaic Development has multifamily development ongoing throughout southwest Florida, Tampa and Orlando. 

The buyer is an entity led by InvestRes, a privately held real estate investment company with multifamily assets throughout Florida and several other states. InvestRes has a Florida headquarters in Tampa.

Completed in December 2017, Mosaic at the Forum, which was managed by Incore Residential, experienced a rapid lease-up and was approximately 95 percent occupied at the time of sale. The gated apartment community consists of 10 three-story buildings on a 13-acre site. 

Robert Given

“Southwest Florida continues to attract a broad audience of multifamily buyers ranging from private investors to large institutions,” said Capas. 

“It is among the fastest-growing submarkets in the country with an impressive employment story, and investors are taking note. 

"We are continuously contacted by investors who are specifically targeting Lee and Collier counties for multifamily investment.”

At 3100 Champion Ring Road, the property has direct frontage along Interstate 75, exposing it to an average of 86,000 cars per day.

“Mosaic at the Forum represented the prototypical investment opportunity offering many of the qualities core investors seek including superior quality construction, a high-visibility location and convenient access to employment and shopping,” added Elorza. 

“The property’s rapid lease-up at competitive rents makes a strong statement for the continued strength of the Fort Myers rental apartment market.”

In February 2018, the Cushman & Wakefield team facilitated the sale of Spectra Apartments for $71.4 million or $220,000 per unit, representing the highest per unit apartment price in Lee County.
