Brandon, FL – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real
estate investment and advisory firm, has acquired The Park at Avilla and
The Park at Pienza Apartments, a two property, 200-unit multifamily
portfolio in Brandon, Florida.
29SC plans to make cosmetic improvements to unit interiors, including
adding high-quality laminate countertops, vinyl plank flooring, modern paint
schemes and stainless steel appliances.
The firm also plans
value-creating improvements to the clubhouse, fitness center, grilling area,
roofing, exterior staircases, landscaping and more. It will also implement

“29SC feels that the strong market fundamentals in the Tampa Bay area
will continue for the foreseeable future and help drive renter demand,” said Ryan
Smyth, Vice President of Acquisitions for Florida.
“The properties have
easy access to several employment hubs in the Tampa Bay area as well as retail
centers,” Smyth added. “Plus, more than 50 million square feet of office space,
which is continuously growing, is within a 30 minute drive.”
The communities, which are two miles apart, are within 20 miles of
downtown Tampa. Each has several restaurants and shopping centers nearby.
