General Services buys Allure apartments

A Virginia-based apartment investment firm has acquired the Allure at Gateway multifamily complex in Pinellas Park for $66 million, a little more than a year after the community opened.

General Services Corp., of Richmond, Va., has been one of the most active buyers of apartments along the Gulf Coast in recent years. In all, General Services has invested more than $500 million to purchase more than a dozen communities in Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota and elsewhere, according to its website.
