Berkadia announces it has arranged the sale of Indigo Champions Ridge, a brand-new, 300-unit luxury Class AA garden-style apartment community strategically located in-between the greater Orlando and Tampa metropolitan areas. Managing Director Brett Moss, Associate Director Tyler Swidler, Senior Managing Director Cole Whitaker, and Senior Managing Director Matt Mitchell of Berkadia’s Orlando and Tampa offices represented the Sellers, Red Clay Development Partners, a real estate development company based in Peachtree Corners, Ga., and Atlantic Residential, a private commercial real estate firm based in Atlanta, Ga.

Middleburg Real Estate, a real estate company based in Middleburg, Va., acquired the property for $100.5 million.

Ideally situated in Polk County, Indigo Champions Ridge’s location just north of the I-4 and Highway 27 Interchange positions the Property to enjoy proximity to a multitude of logistics titans including Amazon, Walmart and CVS, amongst others.
