LAKELAND, FL, February 4, 2019Cushman & Wakefield has negotiated the sale of Victoria Landing, a 352-unit multifamily community in Central Florida.

Brad Capas, Luis Elorza and Robert Given of Cushman & Wakefield’s Florida Multifamily Group represented Duluth, MN-based Mercury Investment in the disposition. Tampa-based property management company Blue Roc Premier obtained the property for $50 million ($142,045 per unit) and has rebranded it as The Park at Palazzo.

The Park at Palazzo is a 12-building, 383,212-square-foot community developed in 2007 on ±24.0-acre site at 3685 Victoria Manor Drive. The property features one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans with an average size of 1,089 square feet and an average market rent of $1,376 ($1.51 per square foot). The garden-style asset was 98% leased at the time of sale.

Units at The Park at Palazzo feature walk-in closets; full-size washers and dryers; security alarms; nine-foot ceilings; garden tubs; ceramic tile in all wet areas; linen closets; ceiling fans in all bedrooms; built-in computer desks and side-by-side refrigerators. Select units offer detached garages, microwaves, dens and walk-in showers.

Community amenities include a resort-style swimming pool featuring a hot tub, cabanas and a tiki bar; an athletic facility; a business center; gated access; a sand volleyball court; a car care facility; a gaming room with a billiards table; a playground; indoor basketball and racquetball courts; a yoga/meditation room; two dog parks and a pet washing station; a hammock pavilion; picnic areas with grills and indoor bike racks.

The Park at Palazzo’s location provides immediate access to Interstate 4 and is proximate to numerous area employers, retail centers and entertainment venues. The property’s position midway between Tampa and Orlando also appeals to commuters working in these markets.

“This listing offered investors the opportunity to acquire a well-positioned multifamily community appealing to a large pool of potential residents in three major Florida growth markets,” said Capas. “Further, there is potential for significant revenue enhancement through the completion unit upgrades.”

Cushman & Wakefield’s Florida Multifamily Team, directed by Given, includes Capas, Elorza, Michael Mulkern, Nick Meoli and Mike Donaldson in West-Central Florida; Jay Ballard and Ken Delvillar in Central Florida; Julie Bohn in Jacksonville; and Zachary Sackley, Troy Ballard, Calum Weaver, Errol Blumer, Neal Victor, James Quinn and Perry Synanidis in South Florida.
