 MIAMI, FL – The Miami office of HFF (Holliday Fenoglio Fowler, L.P.) announced today that it has closed the sale of Parrot’s Landing (top left photo), a 560-unit multi-housing community in North Lauderdale, Florida.

  Grand Peaks Property Management through a joint venture with Behringer Harvard purchased the property for $42 million utilizing a loan from Fannie Mae.

 Phase II was completed in 1997 and features seven buildings with 152 units averaging 968 square feet each.  Community amenities include a fitness center, car care center, lighted tennis court, two clubhouses and three pools.
