Bluerock buys Polk apartments

Continuing its surge into Florida, a New York-based private equity firm has acquired a 270-unit apartment complex in Polk County for $34.5 million, property records show.

Bluerock Real Estate Holdings LLC's mid-May purchase of the Landings at Four Corners ranks among the largest single-asset real estate deals of the past year in the county, according to records.

The deal for the 1000 Ketner St. multifamily complex, in Davenport, followed $86 million in investments by Bluerock in a pair of complexes in Sarasota County in January, Property Appraiser records indicate. There, the company bought Summer Winds and Citation Club Apartments.
