Cove Investment Group has landed $29.7 million of acquisition financing to purchase a multifamily asset in central Florida, Commercial Observer has learned. 

Argentic Real Estate Finance provided the loan for Cove’s The Park at Via Velino in Melbourne, Fla., which it acquired for $33.5 million from Blueroc Premier, sources told CO.

The debt package was arranged by Newmark‘s Daniel Fromm, Dustin Stolly, Jordan Roeschlaub, Daniel Matz, Kyle Schlitt and Jason Kennedy. The Newmark multifamily investment sales group of Ryan Moody, Scott Ramey, Brad Downing and Paul Grant represented Blueroc in the transaction.

Located at 3151 South Babcock Street, 72 miles east of Orlando, the 1974-built garden-style apartment community comprises 212 one-, two- and three-bedroom units. Its amenities include two swimming pools. 

The purchase of The Park at Via Vellino fits with multifamily investor Cove’s recent strategy of targeting underperforming properties in Florida.

“The Park at Via Velino’ is very centrally located, close to great retail, the beach and right next to the Florida Institute of Technology,” said Avi Abadie, principal and co-founder of New York-based Cove, who previously was president of AMS Acquisitions for 10 years. “We are excited for the opportunity to improve the asset by upgrading and enhancing the units, amenities, and exteriors of the property so that the tenants  can enjoy a high quality living experience at the property.”
“There are very strong fundamentals in Melbourne, great job growth, in-migration and an incredible supply/demand imbalance and it was ranked number three in the country by the U-Hall Growth index for in-migration,” he added.

Representatives for Newark did not immediately return a request for comment.
