One Real Estate buys Lake Worth apartments for $26M

UPDATED, Aug. 2, 6:05 p.m: Naya USA Investment & Management just sold an apartment complex in Lake Worth for twice what it paid for the property four years ago.

The Hollywood-based company sold the 160-unit, 200,000-square-foot development at 2425 Second North Avenue for $25.6 million, about two times the $12.9 million that Naya paid for the property in 2014. One Real Estate Investment, led by Jeronimo Hirschfeld, bought the complex, known as Oakwood Apartments.

One Real Estate paid about $160,000 per unit. The complex, built in 1993, is near Palm Beach College. It’s 96 percent occupied, Hirschfeld, chairman and CEO, said. The apartments are all four-bedrooms and each rent for about $1,500.

Hirschfeld plans to upgrade the clubhouse, gym and pool, as well as add a new children’s playground. He was attracted to the property’s large, four-bedroom units.

Tal Frydman, Yoav Yuhjtman, Nicholas Perrone of Berkadia represented the seller, according to a press release. Berkadia’s Brad Williamson and Jared Hill also arranged a $19.23 million seven-year, fixed-rate loan for the buyer to finance the deal.

One Real Estate has acquired a portfolio of more than 6,000 multifamily units in Texas and Florida. The company is planning to break ground on a 12-story mixed-use project at 2201 North Miami Avenue in Wynwood called Wynwood Square in the next few months.

The seller, Naya, recently paid $17.7 million for an office building at 6301 Northwest Fifth Way in Fort Lauderdale.
