Atlas Real Estate Partners of New York sold the property through AREP Pier LLC.

The sale was recorded Jan. 8 by the Duval County Clerk of Court.

Both parties were represented by John Rutherford and Luke McCann of the CBRE Group, according to a Dec. 22 news release.

The 22.11-acre property has 46 two-story buildings constructed in 1972. It has more than 500 feet of St. Johns River frontage and offers Downtown skyline views.

Pier 5350 has studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. They are 625 to 1,750 square feet with monthly rents from $1,249 to $2,149.

“Large, pre-1980s waterfront assets such as Pier 5350 are increasingly rare and difficult to transact in the current climate,” said Rutherford, senior vice president at CBRE said in the release. 

“Achieving a successful sale at this scale and vintage speaks to the quality of the asset, the stability of the location and the conviction of the buyer in Jacksonville’s long-term fundamentals.” 

The property has undergone $14 million in renovations and amenity additions, the release said.

It last sold in August 2018 for $31.3 million.
