Bell Partners Inc., one of the nation’s leading apartment investment and management companies, announced today that, on behalf of its Fund VI investors, it has acquired Broadstone Plantation, a premier 250-unit community located in Plantation, Florida. The community has been renamed Bell at Plantation and will be managed by Bell Partners.
Bell at Plantation is comprised of a mix of five-story midrise buildings and three-story garden buildings with a combined average unit size of 989 square feet. The community is centrally located in Plantation and provides convenient access to a variety of high profile employers, desirable retail amenities, and major transportation arterials. Residents also benefit from being a short distance from the South Florida Education Corridor, a consortium of five colleges with a combined total of 65,000 students.
Joseph Cannon, Executive Vice President, Investments, said: “We are very pleased to add Bell at Plantation to our Florida portfolio. This acquisition represents the continuation of our strategy to invest in high-quality communities that provide attractive income and growth prospects for our investors.”
Bell at Plantation’s apartment homes offer a well-appointed mix of one, two and three bed-room units with granite countertops, 36” full wood shaker cabinets, GE stainless steel appliances, tumbled marble backsplash, wood plank flooring and 9’ ceilings.
Community amenities include a luxurious 5,800 square foot clubhouse with billiards, shufflepuck, and a theater room, as well as a fitness center with boxing and fitness-on-demand, and a kitchen area. The outdoor pool area has an expansive resort-style pool and pool pavilion with billiards table, seating area, TV and fireplace. The clubhouse and pool overlook an expansive lake with a walking path.
The purchase of Bell at Plantation will grow Bell’s Florida portfolio to 28 communities.
