GAINESVILLE, Fla., Sept. 15, 2009 – Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has retained the exclusive listing for The Courtyards, (top left photo) a 91-unit, 375-bedroom, 110,597-square foot student housing community in Gainesville.
The Courtyards’ listing price of $18 million represents $197,802 per unit, $48,000 per bed and $163 per square foot.
The current weighted average rent is $1.69 per foot with all leases running 12 months and backed by parental guarantees.
“The Courtyards is directly across the street from the University of Florida,” notes Jackman, “and leases by-the-bed. This is an opportunity for an investor to own a well-performing asset with the future potential of a mixed-use development opportunity. This is truly irreplaceable real estate that rarely becomes available, given its close proximity to the University of Florida,” adds Jackman.
