The Collier Cos. has sold Lakeside Apartment Homes, a 228-unit community in Brandon, Fla. According to public records, Robbins Property Associates purchased the asset for $30 million. Marcus & Millichap represented the seller and procured the buyer in the $131,579 per unit transaction.

Lakeside Apartment Homes was completed in 1985 and consists of 128 one- and 100 two-bedroom units. Common amenities include a swimming pool, sports courts, car-care facility and a lakeside gazebo. The community at 529 S.

The property also offers easy access to the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and interstates 75 and 4. 

Marcus & Millichap’s Senior Vice Presidents of Investments Nicholas Meoli and Michael Donaldson, along with Associate Ned Roberts oversaw the transaction. “The buyer plans to build on the seller’s improvements with extensive common-area and unit-interior upgrades,” Roberts said in prepared remarks. 

According to Yardi Matrix, Collier acquired the asset in 2014 for $22.4 million, through a $17.9 million, 10-year term Fannie Mae loan. Collier is also in charge of managing the 487-unit Seminole Grand, one of the largest Florida student housing communities.
