An affiliate of the Oakland Park-based multifamily investment firm acquired Station 21 Lofts at 102 East 21st Street in Hialeah, according to records and Vizzda. Rental Asset Management, or RAM, assumed the seller’s $13 million mortgage from Boca Raton-based Amzak Capital Partners.

An affiliate of Prestige Companies, a Miami Lakes real estate development and investment firm led by Marty Caparros, sold the four three-story buildings with 102 units and 2,710 square feet of commercial space. The deal breaks down to $269,600 per unit.

RAM, led by German Guzman and Axel Jordan, owns 39 multifamily properties in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, according to the firm’s website. In December, the company paid $31.1 million for a 14-story building with 96 apartments in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood. Also last year, RAM acquired another Little Havana apartment building for $30.1 million. The building is 13 stories and has 100 units.

Prestige is one of the most active developers in Hialeah. In January, a joint venture between Florida Value Partners and Prestige landed a $20.5 million construction loan to develop a multifamily project on the site of a former Salvation Army store in Hialeah. The partnership is proposing 100 rental townhomes and a three-story building with 12 apartments atop 5,000 square feet of retail, said Prestige’s Alexander Ruiz.

Last year, Prestige paid $13.7 million for a 13.1-acre vacant lot in an unused portion of Hialeah Park race track. The developer plans to build a 343-unit apartment complex and a charter school.

Also last year, Prestige sold four apartment complexes in Hialeah for $17.2 million, about 30 percent above the company’s purchase price in 2021.
