Favorably located Atlanta property recently purchased by CARROLL
As the Southeastern United States’ real estate market continues its strong performance, the CARROLL real estate investment and management firm continues to take a leadership role in this highly competitive arena. In mid-July 2021, the Atlanta-based CARROLL launched its 2021 Q3 activity with a strategic multifamily community acquisition. Led by Founder and CEO M Patrick Carroll, CARROLL recently purchased The Avenue apartment homes in Ocoee, Florida.
CARROLL acquired this 522-unit Orlando multifamily community through Carroll Multifamily Venture VI, LP, the Company’s most recent institutional funding channel. This acquisition bolsters CARROLL’s Orlando market presence to over 2,500 units.
Orlando’s Strong Business and Investment Climate
M Patrick Carroll, speaking at a recent real estate summit, emphasizes that the Orlando metropolitan market offers many advantages. “Orlando has experienced a dramatic rebound in the first half of 2021, with record levels of demand for multifamily driving unprecedented occupancy gains and rent growth,” noted Carroll.
“Orlando has a dynamic business climate that continues to diversify far beyond its tourism roots, benefitting from a highly-skilled workforce and a broadening industry base featuring rising healthcare and technology sectors. Apartment fundaments should remain strong as the area is expected to continue as one of the nation’s leaders in both employment and population growth during the coming years.”
Florida Offers Statewide Real Estate Investment Advantages
Taking a wider perspective, Florida’s population has been steadily increasing, creating a corresponding demand for varied housing options. The state’s low taxes and business-friendly government policies have also contributed to Florida’s growth.
Florida’s COVID-19 pandemic response was also more conducive to real estate market expansion. During the pandemic’s peak in 2020, the state imposed relatively few lockdown constraints, causing less disruption to the flow of real estate market cycles.
Factors Behind The Avenue Multifamily Community Purchase
CARROLL’s purchase of The Avenue apartment homes represents the acquisition of a favorably located property in the expanding Orlando metropolitan market. This 1998-era garden-style multifamily community is ideally set on over 52 acres. A scenic 19-acre lake invites residents to enjoy waterfront views.
This desirable enclave is also less than 10 miles west of Orlando’s downtown area. Residents have easy access to regional employment hubs, entertainment venues, and retail centers.
How CARROLL Will Rebrand This Orlando-Area Community
CARROLL will completely renovate the apartments’ interiors while upgrading the community’s amenities and common areas. When complete, CARROLL will rebrand this vibrant multifamily community as ARIUM Lakeview. CARROLL will manage the property as part of the Company’s “ARIUM” multifamily brand.
CARROLL’s 2021 Q2 Property Sales Demonstrate Southeast U.S. Market Expertise
CARROLL has gained a widespread reputation as a major player in the Southeastern United States’ real estate markets. Specifically, the Company has successfully completed numerous transactions in the multifamily housing sector.
Two Atlanta Upscale Multifamily Communities Property Sales
To illustrate, in 2021 Q2 CARROLL executed the sale of two desirable Atlanta-area apartment communities. CARROLL CEO M Patrick Carroll managed the sale of the ARIUM Station 29 and ARIUM Dunwoody multifamily developments. The Company realized a favorable investment return on both property sales.
Both garden-style apartment communities offer a gated setting, giving them an upscale appearance among the many competing developments in the metropolitan Atlanta area. Although each property has specific attributes, both complexes offer easy access to thriving office submarkets and growing employment hubs.
