MIAMI, Florida—June 11, 2021 – Lee & Associates South Florida announces the sale of a 48-Unit Multifamily Portfolio located at 999 & 1007 W Prospect Road in Oakland Park-Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The portfolio sale closed on May 26^th, 2021 for $7,250,000.

Lee & Associates South Florida Principal, Matthew Jacocks, and Senior Vice President, Patrick Montelus, represented the Seller, Schulman Properties, LLC, and the Buyer, Jass 2, LLC. After extensively consulting the seller through value-add strategies including a conversion for one of the buildings in the multifamily portfolio from a sober living facility to market rate units, Matthew and Patrick were able to procure multiple offers for the buildings during the height of uncertainty through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The deal ultimately closed with an all-cash offer and quick closing terms at the record price for the Oakland Park area for a property of its class at $151,041 per unit, $197.62 per square foot.

The 48-Unit multifamily portfolio consists of two contiguous parcels separated by NW 10^th Avenue, both fronting the main thoroughfare of W Prospect Rd at the I-95 overpass for excellent visibility and accessibility in the Oakland Park community. The parcels total 1.89 acres and include three apartment buildings with all two bedroom/one bathroom units. The property features several desirable tenant amenities including a pool, laundry facilities, cabana area, courtyard garden and 74 surface parking spaces.

As the South Florida market continues to ease out of pandemic conditions, the multifamily sector in the region has experienced a significant increase in activity as demand for both housing and investment product remains high. The Seller, Schulman Properties, LLC, is currently working on several large multifamily development projects in the South Florida market, and has also just recently closed another record deal in the Las Vegas, Nevada market for $115MM.
