JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Berkadia, one of the nation’s largest and most active multifamily investment banking and research companies, recently completed the $12,750,000 sale of the Avesta Townsend apartments located at 3450 Townsend Blvd. in Jacksonville’s Arlington area.
Greg Rainey, Director in Berkadia’s Jacksonville office, Cole Whitaker, Managing Director in the Orlando office, along with Berkadia Senior Directors Tal Frydman and Jason Stanton, negotiated the transaction representing the Seller, 3450 Townsend LLC, an entity controlled by Avesta Communities. Berkadia Senior Director, Justin Ownby, assisted in the financing of Avesta Townsend.
HH Townsend LLC purchased the property which includes 208 garden-style apartments ranging from studio to three-bedroom, two-bath units in 13 two-story buildings. The sale also included a community swimming pool, laundry facility, clubhouse with recreation room and fitness center, tennis court and playground.
Avesta Townsend was built in 1970 and since 2012 the Seller invested $3+ million in interior renovations and exterior upgrades. The apartments were 96.15 percent occupied at the time of the sale.
Between the collaboration of its Jacksonville, Boca Raton and Orlando offices, Berkadia was able to secure the exclusive listing and closed the deal with the South Florida buyer. Berkadia has closed numerous deals with the buyer and brought them to Jacksonville for the cash flow that they were not able to achieve any longer with South Florida properties.
