US-based asset management business Forum Capital Advisors has concluded a preferred equity investment deal for a multifamily development in Fort Myers, Florida, US.
The $26m capital will be used to support the construction of the development, which is expected to feature 384 market-rate apartment units.
Forum Investments’ senior director Ross Macdonald said: “We are thrilled to close this deal in what we believe to be a strong market, with an experienced sponsor.
“We continue to see positive rent growth projected in the Fort Myers submarket, which was one of the key factors in making this an attractive investment opportunity for Forum.”
Known as Tailor Apartments, the development is an eight-building, three- and four-storey community. It offers 48 individual garages and 718 surface parking areas.
Featuring different floor plan types with one to three-bedroom units, Tailor Apartments will provide residents with access to a resort-style pool, an outdoor kitchen, a dog park, and a cornhole court amongst other amenities.
