ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announces the sale of Chickasaw Crossing, a 292-unit, garden-style property near downtown Orlando. The property sold to long-term client Oak Residential Partners, a Chicago-based real estate investment firm for an undisclosed price. It was 94 percent occupied at the time of the sale.
Executive Managing Directors Kevin Judd and Patrick Dufour, Associate Scott Ramey and Vice Chairmen Marc deBaptiste and Dick Donnellan represented the joint sellers, Villabar Real Estate, Inc., (Villabar) and Westdale Property Management (Westdale). A privately-held real estate investment company, Villabar focuses on projects across Canada and the United States. Westdale is a top real estate investment management, property management, leasing and construction services firm.
“Chickasaw Crossing is well-located with significant value-add potential,” said Judd. “Only a few units have been renovated, giving the new owner opportunity to generate rental premiums with enhanced unit interiors.”
In addition to two major hospitals less than 15 minutes away, residents enjoy a quick commute to downtown Orlando, UCF, Lake Nona, Waterford Lakes, Valencia Community College East Campus and the Orlando Airport through the East-West Expressway,” added Ramey. “This accessibility offers access to an abundance of diverse employment.”
Constructed in 1986, Chickasaw Crossing offers a functional mix of one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a gated entrance, cardio-fitness center, business center, on-site laundry facility, racquetball court and a tennis court.
