Miami—Melo Real Estate, a Miami-based boutique real estate firm, recently brokered the $54 million sale of a 408-unit multifamily community located in Fort Lauderdale.
Parrot’s Landing LLC purchased Parrot’s Landing Apartments from an affiliate of Toronto, Canada-based Brass Enterprises for approximately $131,800 per unit. Ronald Meyerson, senior vice president of multifamily sales with Melo Real Estate, represented the buyer in the transaction. The deal closed on July 1.
“The buyer has a value add plan to upgrade the property and increase rents to meet surrounding comps,” said Meyerson in a prepared statement. “That combined with the ability to maximize economies of scale with the few hundred units the Buyer owns just a short distance away from Parrot’s Landing, should provide the new owners with plenty of growth opportunity.”
Located at 7900 Hampton Blvd. in North Lauderdale on a 17-acre wooded site with lakefront views, Parrot’s Landing comprises of 17 three-story buildings with one- and two-bedroom residences averaging 964 square feet. Units feature private patios and balconies, vaulted ceilings, ceramic tiled kitchens and baths, oversized closets and plenty of storage space.
