S2 Capital Acquires Amberly Place Multifamily Community in Tampa, Surpasses 50,000 Units Acquired

DALLAS, May 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- S2 Capital ("S2"), a national vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, today announced the acquisition of Amberly Place, a 1989-vintage, 770-unit, garden-style multifamily apartment community in the Tampa, Florida market. With this transaction, S2 has now acquired over 50,000 units since inception in 2012. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

The property was acquired off-market through a deal arranged by Shelton Granade of commercial real estate brokerage firm Institutional Property Advisors (IPA). IPA's Harry Krieger assisted S2 in securing Freddie Mac financing. S2 acquired the asset on behalf of its current value-add fund, S2 Real Estate Fund II, along with two institutional co-investors, including an overseas group based in London.

Michael Bippus, Managing Director of Acquisitions, said, "We are excited to add to our activity in Florida with this terrific asset in a top growth market for us. The equity void for large value-add housing acquisitions has created a unique pricing opportunity for GPs with discretionary capital and deep lending relationships, and we are delighted to acquire an asset that fits so squarely in our wheelhouse."

Amberly Place is located in the Northeast quadrant of the master-planned Tampa Palms community. S2 will undertake comprehensive interior renovations to bring the property's original apartments up to the design scope and standards of those units that have already been upgraded. The firm intends to make additional enhancements to interior and exterior amenity spaces and targeted capital improvements to address deferred exterior capex items.

The surrounding area is expected to experience strong projected population growth in the coming years. With high market demand and no new nearby supply expected over the next 24 months, S2 anticipates its proven value-add strategy and operating platform will enable the firm to execute on its business plan to reposition the asset and improve operating efficiencies successfully.
