The sale marks the launch of RRA\/GREA\u2019s operations in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>The property was marketed on behalf of FPA Multifamily, a known giant in the multifamily industry out of San Francisco, and sold to Core Spaces, a large owner\/operator based out of Austin, TX and Chicago, IL. Located at 14200 Bruce B Downs Boulevard, ULake is approximately one mile from USF\u2019s Tampa campus, on a bus route that takes students to and from campus. The property recently underwent significant renovations and offers students furnished or unfurnished units, on-site parking, three resort-style pools, pet friendly units with an on-site dog park, a fitness center, and sand volleyball courts.<\/p>\n<p>Ken Wellar, managing partner at RRA\/GREA, stated: \u201cWe are pleased to announce this successful transaction our team completed for FPA, one the largest buyers and sellers of multifamily properties in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Sitt, RRA\/GREA\u2019s student housing specialist, added: &#8220;University of South Florida is one the best performing student housing markets in the country, with strong year over year rent growth and high pre-leasing velocity. Large tier-1 universities in growth states are becoming the most competitive student housing markets in the U.S. to invest in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>RRA\/GREA recently opened an office in the Brickell neighborhood of Miami, following the growth of the South Florida market during the Covid-19 pandemic.
