Orlando, Fla. (March 16, 2018) – Berkadia has secured $40.5 million in acquisition financing for Art Avenue Apartment Homes, a 300-unit garden style community located in Orlando. Senior Managing Director Mitch Sinberg, Associate Director Matthew Robbins, and Senior Analyst Wesley Moczul of Berkadia’s South Florida office arranged the loan on behalf of Robbins Property Associates, a real estate company with offices in Tampa and Boston.

“Central Florida’s workforce will continue to attract investors that seek stable returns on newly built properties,” said Sinberg. “The region’s unemployment rate continues declining, with multimillion dollar construction projects in the pipeline, such as a new Amazon distribution center, new Drive Shack facility, and a KPMG training facility, all in Lake Nona.”
