RMR Residential and PGIM Real Estate Execute A 12-Property Portfolio Purchase Across Four Markets in Florida

RMR Residential, in partnership with PGIM Real Estate, the real estate investment manager of PGIM, the global asset management business of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE: PRU), has purchased 12 multifamily communities, spanning Orlando, Sarasota, West Palm Beach, and Ft. Lauderdale. Comprised of 3,976 units, all properties were acquired through RMR Residential’s latest institutional investment vehicle, Carroll Multifamily Venture VI, LP, and will be managed by RMR Residential. Included in the purchase were: seven Orlando properties, three Sarasota-Bradenton properties, one West Palm Beach property, and one Ft. Lauderdale property. The properties will be rebranded under the “ARIUM” name.

The rebranded ARIUM properties will be: ARIUM Altamonte Springs (Ashford Altamonte Springs), ARIUM Winter Park (Bishop Park), ARIUM Springs Colony (Springs Colony), Twelve Oaks at Windemere by ARIUM (Twelve Oaks at Windemere), ARIUM Valencia Gardens (Verona at Valencia Park), ARIUM Mission Bay (Mission Bay), ARIUM Mariner’s Village (Valencia Plantation), ARIUM Bristol Bay (Perico Apartments), ARIUM Citrus Run (Mcintosh Apartments), ARIUM Grove Walk (Heron’s Run), Gardens East by ARIUM (Gardens East), and Park Place at Turtle Run by ARIUM (Park Place at Turtle Run).

“We are thrilled to add 12 well-located assets to the growing Florida market,” said M. Patrick Carroll, founder and CEO of RMR Residential. “Florida continues to be one of our most desirable markets as it acts as a magnet for corporations and individuals seeking a business-friendly environment, lower cost of living, and improved quality of life. Since inception we have invested more than $1.5 billion in equity across the state and we anticipate no signs of slowing down in 2022 due to strong in-migration, job growth and apartment demand.”

In the past 12-months, Florida has experienced steady population and employment growth, coupled with record-high demand for multifamily housing. With an unemployment rate that continues to remain well below the national average, and Florida’s projection of adding 1.2 million jobs in the next five years, RMR Residential’s new portfolio will offer tremendous upside in several of the nation’s most desirable and high‐growth markets.

Since its inception, RMR Residential has maintained an active presence in the Florida market. RMR Residential currently manages 39 properties throughout Florida (more than 13,000 units), totaling $3.5 billion in assets under management. Between 2015 and 2021, RMR Residential has realized 46 total investments in Florida.

With 37 acquisitions and 32 dispositions totaling $6 billion in transaction volume – including deals closed and under contract – 2021 will be a record year in transaction activity for RMR Residential.
