The apartment community was developed in 1995 by Gables Residential, a Boca Raton-based developer, builder, owner and manager of luxury multifamily communities. Greystar Capital Partners was adviser to the seller in the transaction.
The apartment community has Spanish barrel tile roofs. Amenities include an exercise facility, two tennis courts, two pools, and a washer and dryer in every floor plan. In addition, 90% of the townhouse-style apartments have remote-controlled, direct-access garages.
The property has key frontage on University Drive, a major north-south thoroughfare in the county. The city is an affluent submarket of Broward County and the property is eight miles west of downtown Fort Lauderdale.

"We are delighted to have supported the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust in the acquisition of this luxury multifamily project and anticipate it to outperform our expectations," says Wilberding of Legg Mason Real Estate Services.
Greystar Capital Partners had retained CB Richard Ellis Multihousing Group's South Florida team to market the apartment community.
