Huntington Place was sold to Bridge
Investment Group after an 11-year hold period with robust occupancy of ~95% at
sale. The price was not disclosed.
The transaction, which closed in May, generated an
impressive deal-level ~4.2x multiple and ~24% IRR. The buyer assumed the
below-market Fannie Mae loan originated by Berkadia Commercial Mortgage.

The sale attracted considerable interest from both institutional and private investors eager to acquire a well-located asset with advantageous in-place debt and value-add potential.

Partners, along with Andover Real Estate Partners, acquired the Sarasota
property in 2013 for $21.75 million and executed a comprehensive renovation.
The improvements included the renovation of nearly all units, upgrades to the
clubhouse, extensive exterior enhancements such as façade improvements and new
roofs, and the addition of modern amenities like a dog park, fitness center,
and outdoor lounge area.

“In the time we owned Huntington Place, we have seen
Sarasota emerge as a top multifamily market in Florida,” said Arvind Chary,
co-founder of Atlas Real Estate Partners. “The combination of incredible job
and population growth, along with the execution of our value-add business plan,
enabled us to increase rents and value dramatically over our hold period and
generate outsized returns for our investors. We look forward to replicating
this model in our target markets throughout the Southeast.”

The Sarasota multifamily market has been surging in
popularity in recent years. The city has consistently been recognized for its
quality of life, earning accolades ranging from Best Place to Live in FL, Best
Places to Retire in the U.S., Fastest Growing Places in the U.S., and Best
Beach in the U.S. (Siesta Key) from publications such as U.S. News and World Report and Travel + Leisure.
