Friday Real Estate Roundup: Sales, apartments, revitalizations and more

Written by:

Ask anyone in real estate, and they’ll tell you the apartment market is the only sector that didn’t really experience a downturn.
And now that the recession is well over and behind us, you can almost say it’s booming. But we all know how careful people in real estate are being with the “B” word.
We lead this week’s edition of Real Estate Roundup with a big multifamily sale that went down last month in the area near The Mall at Millenia. Lake Buchanan LLC, an entity related to Miami-based NRI Investments, bought the 558-unit Carlton Arms South Apartments at 4444 S. Rio Grande Ave. in southwest Orlando for $15.3 million from Harrison, N.Y.-based Carlando Realty Co. LLP.
Shelton GranadeLuke Wickham andJustin Basquill of CBRE Inc. in Orlando exclusively represented the seller in the deal, which closed on Dec. 12.
Here are some other interesting things going down in our area:
• Two building sales by Avalon Island LLC in downtown Orlando are pointing to a revitalization of Pine Street. Orlando-based Pine Street Buildings LLC, whose managing member is nightclub owner Team Market Group LLC, bought the 3,500-square-foot Phoenix Building at 30 S. Magnolia Ave. for $1.4 million last month. Nicholas Fouraker of BishopBeale represented the seller, while Tyler Peterson of Real Property Specialists Inc.represented the seller. Team Market Group, which is run by young entrepreneurs and brothers Keith and Romi Marwadi, plan to open a social club on the first floor and lease offices on the second floor.
Meanwhile, Nunziata Holdings LLC spent $475,000 on a 3,500-square-foot building at 38 E. Pine St. in November, but has yet to announce plans for the building. BishopBeale represented both sides of that transaction.
