ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announces the $52.5 million sale of Enclave at Wesley Chapel, a 312-unit multihousing asset in Tampa, Florida, as well as the agency financing as part of a 1031 exchange for the sale of the suburban value-add property.
Executive Managing Director Patrick Dufour, Director Scott Ramey and Transaction Manager Ryan Crowley represented Chicago-based Sherman Residential in the sale to Valhalla Holdings of Denver.
“Buyer demand is at an all-time high,” said Dufour. “Given such limited investment opportunities and favorable market conditions, buyers are aggressively trying to pre-empt the marketing process and secure the asset with compelling pricing and terms - which was the case for Enclave at Wesley Chapel. Because Sherman and we have transacted with Valhalla before, we had confidence in their ability to perform at their stated conditions.”
Senior Managing Director of Newmark Capital Markets Matt Williams arranged $28.9 million in financing from Freddie Mac through a seven-year fixed-rate loan. “The lower leverage as a result of the borrower’s 1031 exchange combined with their previous agency experience in this market, allowed us to secure a full-term interest-only loan through Freddie Mac at an extremely attractive rate,” said Williams.
Located in Pasco County, Enclave at Wesley Chapel has access to SR56 and is two miles from I-75. Also, the Shops at Wiregrass, Tampa Premium Outlets and Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel are a short drive away. Property amenities include a resort-style pool, fitness center, dog park and business center.
“With Tampa water locked to the west and south, the primary path of growth is north into Pasco County, which is the fastest growing area in the greater Tampa Bay region,” said Crowley. “Strong demographics, great schools, new retail and limited apartment supply make Pasco County a very desirable multifamily investment market.”
