ST PETE BEACH, Fla., March 15, 2019 – Marcus & Millichap (NYSE: MMI), a leading commercial real estate investment services firm with offices throughout the United States and Canada, has announced the sale of The Clay House, a 12-unit apartment property located in St Pete Beach, Fla., according to Grant Fitzgerald, sales manager of the firm’s Tampa office. The asset sold for $2,200,000.

Nataliia Musick, Luis Baez, CCIM, Casey Babb, CCIM, and Shawn Rupp, investment specialists in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office, had the exclusive listing to market the property on behalf of the seller, a private investor.  The buyer, a private investor, was also secured and represented by Nataliia Musick, Luis Baez, CCIM, Casey Babb, CCIM and Shawn Rupp.
