TAMPA, FL-Two multifamily portfolios with a total of 13 properties with 2,680 units have been placed on the market. Combined, the two portfolios carry a nearly $225-million asking price.

A Naples-based private regional group of investors is the seller of one of the portfolios, which contains five properties with 1,619 units and has a listing price of $160 million. Two of the properties are located in Tampa suburbs. They are the 390-unit Grand Rivage in Brandon and the 228-unit Hawthorne Place in Riverview. Three are located in South Fort Myers, including the 360-unit Park Crest at the Lakes, the 320-unit Beach Club and the 320-unit Viridian Lake.

The other portfolio is being sold by a Tampa-based private investor and contains eight properties with 1,061 units and a listing price of $64.7 million. The properties are the 130-unit Ashley Oaks in Tampa, the 212-unit Sterling Lakes in Tampa, the 144-unit Gateway in St. Petersburg, the 125-unit Palisades in Brandon, the 92-unit DeSoto Village in Bradenton, the 93-unit Bentwood in Gainesville, the 81-unit Whisperwood in Gainesville and the 184-unit Outrigger in Orlando. Two of the properties in this portfolio traded hands just recently. Last month, Gateway was acquired from Miami-based 2000 Gandy LLC for $7.7 million, or about $53,500 per unit. GlobeSt.com records put Mallah Enterprises as the buyer; however, GlobeSt.com could not confirm if Mallah is the seller of the eight-property portfolio. In October, Desoto Village was acquired for $5.6 million from Mitchell Zerwin, of Bradenton.
