"Parrot's Landing is an excellent example of our investment strategy at work, from acquisition to disposition. We acquired it at a compelling basis and have been pleased with its performance in terms of sustained occupancy and net operating income, which exceeded expectations," said Mr. Michael O'Hanlon, Chief Executive Officer of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. "In addition to these property-level performance factors, heightened investor interest in the multifamily property sector has been compressing cap rates. These conditions combined to make this an opportune time for us to market Parrot's Landing and capture an attractive return on our investment."

Behringer Harvard acquired a 90 percent ownership interest in Parrot's Landing in September 2010 through a joint venture between Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., a public non-listed real estate investment trust, and Grand Peaks Properties, a Denver-based real estate firm that acquired a 10 percent ownership interest and managed the property. The Boca Raton office of ARA brokered the sale of Parrot's Landing, which was managed by a team including Avery Klann, Marc deBaptiste, and Hampton Beebe.

The Parrot's Landing community, at 7900 Hampton Blvd., comprises 24 three-story residential buildings constructed in two phases, three swimming pools, a fitness center, a car-care center and a lighted tennis court. Units feature up to three bedrooms and two baths and average 927 square feet. Residents of Parrot's Landing are conveniently situated within 12 miles of major employment centers including downtown Fort Lauderdale, the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and the deepwater harbor of Port Everglades.
