Marcus & Millichap Sells 44-Unit Apartment Building in DeLand, FL

DELAND, FL– Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has announced the sale of Penn Oaks, a 44-unit apartment property located in DeLand, Fla, according to Bryn D. Merrey, Regional Manager of the firm’s Tampa office.

 The asset commanded a sales price of $578,000.

Michael Donaldson (top right photo), a multifamily investment specialist in Marcus & Millichap’s Tampa office represented the buyer, a Florida based private investor who purchased the asset from a financial institution based out of Delaware. 

Penn Oaks was built in 1974 and is located at 315 West Pennsylvania Avenue. The property consisted of a majority of two-bedroom units and was recently foreclosed on by the first mortgage holder.

“This transaction represented an excellent opportunity for a local apartment owner with a large presence in the area to capitalize on an asset that had dwindling operations, due to the recent foreclosure”, said Donaldson.

 “With close proximity to Stetson University and downtown DeLand, this is an ideally located property that can be stabilized to market occupancy levels, through hands-on management and completion of necessary renovations” added Donaldson.
