ORLANDO, FL - McCann Realty Partners announced it has started construction on the 192-unit second phase at the Vista at Lost Lake Apartments in Clermont, Florida. Located in the Lake County submarket of Orlando, the existing 276-unit, garden-style community was built in 2007. Phase two is scheduled to be completed at year end and will begin lease up in September 2013. The combined 468 apartment homes will be managed by Pegasus Residential, LLC. The construction loan was funded by Wells Fargo Bank, NA.
"We entered the greater Orlando market in May 2012 with the purchase of Vista at Lost Lake Apartments and believe this second phase will enhance our ability to offer exceptional apartment living in Clermont. We believe rents will continue to grow for the next several years and are actively looking to add more assets in Orlando," said McCann's President Matthew T. Akin. "We really like the demographics, the location adjacent to retail, and the close proximity to highly rated schools."
