Versity Investments Acquires 306-Unit Astoria at Celebration Apartment Community Near Orlando’s Disneyworld for $89 Million

CELEBRATION, FL – Versity Investments has bought Astoria, a multifamily property built in 2015 located in Celebration, Florida. According to Versity CEO Blake Wettengel, the property is the first multifamily asset for the company and is currently 97.1% leased. Astoria was offered as a 1031 exchange with a DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) structure.
“We are thrilled with our newest DST offering, Astoria, in the famed city of Celebration, Florida” said Wettengel. “In addition to this being a gorgeous property, complete with a vintage art deco motif, it’s location and proximity to jobs, entertainment, and health care may help keep this project healthy with substantial growth potential for years to come. In addition, the value of Florida real estate is at an all-time high, and with the unprecedented growth in raw material costs and construction wages, rents have the potential to continue to grow for the foreseeable future. In small, we believe we have positioned investors for yet another stellar investment.”
The property, situated on 14.41 acres, consists of one, two and three-tale residential buildings with one – two – and three-bedroom units offering resort style amenities.
