Berkadia Arranges Sale and Financing of Northern Palm Beach County Apartments

S2 Capital acquired the 359-unit Jupiter Isle Apartments in Jupiter, Fla.

Berkadia announces it has arranged the sale and financing of Jupiter Isle Apartments, a 359-unit value-add, garden-style apartment community located in the northern Palm Beach County city of Jupiter, Fla. Senior Managing Directors Jaret Turkell and Roberto Pesant, along with Associate Director Omar Morales and Senior Analyst Jose Mota of Berkadia Miami, marketed the property on behalf of Northland. S2 Capital, a national value-add multifamily investor with more than $9 billion in transaction volume, acquired the property for an undisclosed amount.

Managing Director Nathan Stone, and Associate Directors Brad Mason and Guy Griffith, along with Analyst Heather Culver of Berkadia Dallas, secured financing on behalf of S2 Capital.

“Jupiter Isle is a well-kept apartment community ideally located in an affluent community east of I-95, less than a 30-minute drive from the booming West Palm Beach/Delray Beach markets,” said Turkell. “The new owner has the opportunity to elevate the property’s finishes to compete with newer product, in a climate in which multifamily fundamentals have never been stronger.”

“We are excited to invest in Jupiter Isle and believe the property represents a compelling investment for both the community and our investors,” said Davey Leach, VP of Acquisitions at S2 Capital. “The county as a whole is enjoying growth, but with constrained supply and very limited new construction, the Jupiter submarket in particular offers tremendous opportunity to transform an older community into a market-leading option for its growing number of residents.”

Located on 30 acres at 6705 Mallard Cove Road, Jupiter Isle Apartments is a Class B, two-story apartment complex built in 1984. It features one-and two-bedroom units, multiple swimming pools, and other outdoor amenities. Over the next two years, S2 expects to complete a $5 million plus renovation to enhance common areas and remodel unit interiors. Improvements will include exterior painting and balcony repair; renovation of the leasing center, fitness center, and gym; and interior unit upgrades including stainless steel appliances, hardware and countertop upgrades, and the installation of new floors and ceramic tile showers. The refurbishment will position the property for future buyers as a premium asset in a supply constrained market with exceptional demographics.

The property lies in the Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens submarket of Palm Beach County, approximately 16 miles north of Palm Beach. It boasts convenient access to nearby jobs, retail establishments and entertainment, and is located 10 minutes from Jupiter’s beaches and 25 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport.
