Advisory Conclusion

If you own an apartment building in Downtown St. Pete, these are the numbers a buyer or lender will test your rent roll against. Units priced inside the 25th to 75th percentile band for their type are leasing in about a month; units priced above the band are the ones that sit on the market.

Own an Apartment Building in Downtown St. Pete?

Know what your building is worth before you need to. A BOV is the number behind every good decision an owner makes: the return on your equity, the case for a refinance, the timing of a sale, and the planning your estate will one day depend on knowing how much equity you have in your building. Owners who plan ahead get one every one to two years. Confidential and at no cost.
