Christina Alletto and Jewel McDonald, JM Real Estate.
Tzadik Management, a North Miami-based multifamily manager and investor, acquired another Florida real estate company managing a portfolio valued at over $300 million.
Tzadik, also based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, bought out Melbourne-based JM Real Estate Inc., which manages, leases and sells commercial real estate.
The purchase price wasn't provided in a news release, which listed only the $300 million asset valuation.
JM Real Estate includes management contracts for 60 locations of retail, office, medical and industrial properties totaling more than 2.5 million square feet. Founded in 1997, the company has worked on sales, leases and development projects.
Jewel McDonald, broker-director of brokerage services for JM Real Estate, said in a news release the merger is a good thing for JM.
"This acquisition allows us to stay competitive with today's technological advancements in commercial property management and brokerage activities," McDonald said.
Formed in 2007, Tzadik has managed 19,000 apartments valued at more then $1 billion in 20 states. Its websites lists Tzadik communities in Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota and other Florida cities, as well as Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Texas.
One area of interest for Tzadik is distressed apartments with a value-add goal. More of these opportunities are expected this year in light of the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic with tenants — especially in the hospitality industry — being out of work for months. This means Tzadik likely is looking at more buys as properties enter receivership.
This is the first time Tzadik acquired a commercial real estate brokerage.
Christina Alletto, chief people officer with Tzadik and president of JM, will oversee onboarding in the transition.
"Through excellent management, a focus on company culture and a tech-driven style of operating, we are pleased to bring a new level of automation and customer service to the JM team," Alletto said in a release.
