FT. LAUDERDALE, FL-Forest Properties Management, a real estate company based in Newton, Massachusetts, purchased the remaining 272 units at the Olivine at the Township Condominiums in Coconut Creek for $22.5 million or just under $83,000 per unit. The property previously closed 100 units with an average sales price of $227,415. The seller of the units was a consortium of lenders led by KeyBank.
