Robert Goldfinger, senior investment associate and director of Marcus & Millichap's National Multi Housing Group, tells GlobeSt.com that the seller wanted to get out of the apartment business. Goldfinger and Marcus & Millichap investment specialist Elizabeth Calleja represented the seller, Palm Island Group LLC. Palm Island Group's president is Mark Calleja.

The complex has access to Interstates 275 and 75 and the University of South Florida, which is the third largest university in the state with more than 39,000 students and 2,000 faculty members. It is also located near three hospital facilities. The occupancy level of the property at the time of the sale was in the high 80s.
"This is a very functional and good-looking asset on a well-traveled street with a lot of apartments around it and a fair amount of retail," Goldfinger says. "On top of the university, there is a medical environment nearby."
