Rockledge, Fla.—Boston-based Long Wharf Real Estate Partners has sold Polo Glen, a 252-unit community located in Rockledge, Fla., to Atlanta-based Pollack Shores. ARA represented Long Wharf in the $28.2 million sale, which was the highest price paid for a multifamily community in Brevard County in more than four years.
“We are noting a trend where both private and institutional capital sources are targeting secondary and tertiary markets throughout Florida,” says ARA principal Marc deBaptiste. “There are core quality properties available, providing higher yields than what is found in the primary markets.”
Polo Glen is located minutes from major area employers such as Boeing and Patrick Air Force Base, as well as shopping at The Avenue Viera, Merritt Square Mall and Melbourne Square Mall.
