The Hallmark Cos. has sold Water’s Edge, a 184-unit community in Pensacola, Fla., to Strategic Holdings for $25.8 million. According to Yardi Matrix data, The Hallmark Cos. acquired the property in 2018 for $23.5 million.
Located at 2220 Gloria Circle on 21 acres, the 16-building property was completed in 2004. Water’s Edge comprises one- to three-bedroom units with private balconies. Common-area amenities include a fitness center, a playground, a swimming pool, a spa and laundry facilities.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Senior Director Josh Jacobs and Vice Chair Jimmy Adams assisted Hallmark in the transaction.
