PLANS, DESCRIPTION:
Sarasota-based Insula Cos. purchased the 96-unit Bryan Dairy Place Apartments and the 104-unit Forest Creek Apartments for a combined $16.6 million.
The combined price equated to $83,000 per unit. That figure is higher than the two-year average price per unit for multifamily space ($72,609) in the Tampa Bay area, according to the CoStar Group.
The same seller owned the two properties, which are roughly a mile apart. To the south, Bryan Dairy Place is the bigger of the two apartments and features two-bedroom and two-bathroom units. Forest Creek primarily has one-bedroom units.
“Bryan Dairy is a little more tucked away and has more of a condo feel,” says Jeff Talbot, the principal responsible for acquisitions, disposition and financing for Insula. “The average unit size is 925 square feet. Forest Creek has a more traditional apartment feel ... units average 770 square feet.”
The two apartments were more than 95% occupancy at the time of the sale.
The buyer has budgeted $300,000 per apartment community to make improvements and upgrades.
The purchase entities, FL Bryan Dairy LLC and FL Forest Creek LLC, mortgaged the properties to Berkeley Point Capital LLC for a combined $13.28 million.
