“This was an exciting quarter both for us as an organization and for the multifamily market in general,” said ABI Multifamily Senior Managing Partner John Kobierowski, “and it really showcases our exclusive focus on multifamily. The fact that we had three major transactions close in one day shows just how much opportunity there is in the market right now.”

Phoenix Leads Nation; ABI Leads Phoenix
Kobierowski expressed great enthusiasm about Phoenix’s status as the most exciting multifamily market in the county and ABI Multifamily’s role in it.

“The Phoenix MSA is leading the country in in-migration right now and riding a sweet spot between affordability and attractive rent growth,” he said. “Depending on what reports you read and what criteria they choose to target, there are several contenders for ‘hottest multifamily market’ in the nation, but when we attend national conferences and industry events, we’re positively mobbed with investors of all types looking for first-hand expertise in the Phoenix market.”

He added, “If I can brag for just a moment, ABI Multifamily is the leading brokerage for the hottest commercial real estate sector in the most exciting market in the country, and that feels really good.”

To best serve its clients’ needs, ABI Multifamily maintains dedicated teams of brokers covering the gamut of opportunities in the sector, including two-nine units, 10-99 units, 100+ units, land sales and manufactured housing. “The fact that our advisors are experts in their respective areas is one of the keys to our success,” Kobierowski said. “Another major factor is that, unlike in many brokerages that foster an ‘everyone for themselves’ mindset, our team members actively share their expertise, insights, contacts and sources as part of our operating culture.”

Senior Managing Partner Alon Shnitzer echoed Kobierowski’s enthusiasm and praised both the company’s brokers and the behind-the-scenes members who help with every transaction.

“None of what we do happens in a vacuum,” Shnitzer said. “We have 22 advisors in four markets handling complex transactions of, literally, every possible size. We’re supported by administrative and support teams of marketing, research and operational staff that are second-to-none, and our entire talent pool is brought to bear, as needed, to maximize our clients’ value and return on every opportunity, regardless of size.”

Casa Grande 85-Site RV Park Sells for $1.66 Million

Sierra Vista RV Park, Casa Grande, AZ

Park Brokerage is proud to announce the sales of the Sierra Vista RV Park located in Casa Grande, Arizona was completed on March 29, 2019 for the price of $1.66 million ($19,529 per space).  John Sheedy represented the sellers in each transaction while procuring the Florida-based experienced buyer.

Sierra Vista is an 85 site all-ages RV park with a near 100% occupancy located three miles west of Casa Grande, Arizona.  The park is on a large fifteen-acre parcel with local approval to expand to 160 sites.   The park is on a private well and septic system, has gravel roads, and has a limited amenity package which consists of a store, laundry room, and storage area.  The property was in poor condition when the seller purchased it in 2017 however sold in quality shape.  The seller improved the entry area, built the storage component, and reduced the vacancy occupancy up to market levels to achieve stabilization.  Rents were slightly before market at time of sale and vacancy was under five percent.

John Sheedy commented “this is a win-win deal for both parties whom I was happy to represent on this transaction.  The seller did an excellent job stabilizing the property from its former condition and the buyer stands to take over a park with rent upside and expansion opportunities due to local job growth especially with Lucid Motors plant opening nearby.”

Please feel free to contact John for more information about this sale at 602-821-4666 or at [email protected]
