Axonic Properties plans to make significant improvements to the property, which was originally constructed in 1974.

Franklin Street’s Tampa multifamily investment sales team, comprising Darron Kattan, Zach Ames, Avery Jordan and Mark Savarese, arranged the sale.
“The demand for multifamily investments in Tampa Bay continues to skyrocket, and the market’s solid demographic trends and rent growth is allowing values to push to new highs every day,” states Kattan. “Osprey Pointe Apartments offered an attractive opportunity to acquire 517 units in the Pinellas Point submarket, which with its proximity to the beach, downtown and a significant amount of new development, is becoming an increasingly in-demand rental market.”
