PRICE: $2.1 million

PLANS, DESCRIPTION: Tampa-based Avesta Homes LLC purchased the 119-unit Sunrise Villas multifamily community in Sarasota for $2.1 million.

The price equated to $17,647 per unit.

Built in 1961, the 6.13-acre, 10-parcel community covers a two-mile stretch between 19th Street and 36th Street. The development features 46 one-story buildings with 117 two-bedroom, one-bathroom units, one two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit and one three-bedroom, one bathroom unit.

Michael Regan and Francesco Carriera in Marcus & Millichap's Tampa office handled the transaction.

“There is a lack of properly priced C quality properties in the Sarasota market,” Carriera says. “We were able to receive multiple offers and close the property with an all-cash buyer for 93% of the list price.”

Avesta Homes LLC, which also operates as Integritas Residential LLC, has been an aggressive buyer of multifamily properties since the recession. It recently purchased a 43-unit portfolio of three adjacent apartment properties on Executive Drive in New Port Richey for $1.18 million. The investment group also owns the 120-unit Southern Oaks apartment in Tampa, 193-unit Treesdale Condominiums in Bradenton and 187-unit Fredericksburg Apartments in Tampa.
