TAMPA, FL – TruAmerica Multifamily and RSE Capital Partners have acquired a two-property, 454-unit multifamily portfolio in a $63.75 million joint venture transaction. This is the first joint venture between the two firms.

The acquisition, located in the Tampa submarket of Pinellas County, is comprised of Twin Lakes and Runaway Bay apartment communities, located 20 minutes apart, along US Highway 19. Both two-story buildings currently feature a 1980s, vintage garden-style design and offer one- and two-bedroom floorplans.

The acquisition increases TruAmerica’s Florida portfolio to nearly 5,000 units, 20% of which are located in the Tampa/St. Petersburg market. The companies plan to capitalize on Tampa’s job growth and affordable rental housing demand.

Newmark Knight Frank’s Patrick Dufour and Ryan Crowley marketed the properties on behalf of the seller. NKF’s  Mitch Clarfield and Ryan Greer secured 10-year agency financing for the deal.
