RMR Residential Acquires Orlando Property to Launch Q3 Activity

RMR Residential acquired The Avenue apartment homes, a 522-unit multifamily community in Ocoee, Fla., which will be rebranded under the name ARIUM Lakeview. The asset was acquired through RMR Residential’s latest institutional fund vehicle, Carroll Multifamily Venture VI, LP, and increases the firm’s presence in the Orlando market to more than 2,500 units.

“Orlando has experienced a dramatic rebound in the first half of 2021, with record levels of demand for multifamily driving unprecedented occupancy gains and rent growth,” said RMR Residential Founder and CEO M. Patrick Carroll. “Orlando has a dynamic business climate that continues to diversify far beyond its tourism roots, benefitting from a highly-skilled workforce and a broadening industry base featuring rising healthcare and technology sectors. Apartment fundaments should remain strong as the area is expected to continue as one of the nation’s leaders in both employment and population growth during the coming years.”

The acquisition represents an opportunity to acquire a well-located, value-add asset in a rapidly growing Orlando market. Built in 1998, this vintage, garden-style community sits on 52-plus acres and is situated on a 19-acre lake, providing waterfront views for residents. Located less than 10 miles west of Downtown Orlando, the property offers residents access to the area’s employment, retail, and entertainment centers.

RMR Residential plans to renovate unit interiors and enhance amenity and common areas. ARIUM Lakeview will be managed by RMR Residential under its “ARIUM” multifamily brand to ensure that residents’ experiences are driven by their needs.
