Situated in Pinellas County less than a mile away from Gulf of Mexico beaches, and offering views of the Intracoastal Waterway and Gulf, Courtney at Bay Pines is steps from shopping and restaurants. The property is located across the street from the Bay Pines VA Healthcare System medical center. It is also situated within 15 minutes of downtown St. Petersburg and is a similar distance from Florida Botanical Gardens.

 The property was 95 percent occupied at the time of sale.

NKF Multifamily Vice Chairman Patrick Dufour, Director Ryan Crowley and Associate Pibu Aulakh represented the seller in the transaction. Vice Chairman Patrick Adam Randall, Assistant Vice President John Westby-Gibson and Associate John Meany arranged for a loan on behalf of the buyer.

The sale price of Courtney at Bay Pines set a new pricing record for garden-style apartment communities in Central Florida.
