Cortland, Clarion Partners Acquire Broadstone North Boca Village

Atlanta-based Cortland, a resident-centric multifamily platform, and Clarion Partners, a New York-based investment advisor on behalf of one of its fund vehicles, have partnered to acquire Broadstone North Boca Village in Palm Beach County. This is the fourth transaction between the two and the 15th addition to Cortland’s Florida-based holdings.

Cortland will be responsible for all community operations and will rebrand the property Cortland Boca Raton. The 17-acre community has a unique mix of homes, including five-story mid-rise buildings with elevators, three-story garden-style buildings and three-story townhome-style units. The diverse mix of floor plans appeal to a broad range of renters, from baby boomers seeking to downsize to the growing number of millennials starting families. 

The community is conveniently located east of Interstate 95. Residents are within walking distance of a Publix-anchored shopping center and a mere five-minute drive to Delray Beach. Boca’s two largest employment centers, The Park at Broken Sound and Downtown Boca Raton, are less than five miles away.

Clarion and Cortland plan to make some cosmetic upgrades to Cortland Boca Raton’s amenities, landscaping and unit interiors. The amenities within the community are extensive and include a resort-style pool, a manicured putting green and bocce ball court, a community playground, large central greenspace and courtyard, and a dog park with a washing station.

Cortland Investment Manager Kyle Bateh said the company is excited to expand its South Florida footprint with an exceptional piece of real estate.

“We believe we are uniquely positioned to breathe new life into the community through our focus on resident experience and expertise in value-add renovations,” Bateh said. “Completed earlier this cycle, and built to high-quality construction standards, Cortland Boca Raton has great bones. We look forward to executing our renovation program, which is geared toward enhancing the functionality of the common spaces and modernizing the interior finishes to improve the living experience of our residents.”
