As reported in The Real Deal.

A Miami investor paid $13 million for a multifamily property in Hialeah.

Antonio Hernandez, an electrical contractor who owns nearly a dozen properties in the Miami area, purchased the 66-unit Hilton Estates buildings at 6365 West 24th Avenue. The seller is Hilton Estates of Hialeah IV, led by Tomas Betancourt Jr.

The deal breaks down to $197,000 per unit. 

The rental buildings, built in 1989, sit on a 2.4-acre lot. The site last sold in 1988 for $1.7 million. Hernandez plans to keep the apartments, all three-bedroom, two-bathroom units, as is.

Development and investment sales are ramping up in Hialeah.

In July, developer Masoud Shojaee closed on a $67 million loan for Shoma Village, a mixed-use apartment project with a food hall component in Hialeah. The Estate Companies recently paid $15.3 million for a former Ramada Inn at 1950 West 49th Street, with plans to redevelop the site.

A partnership of developers is also building Pura Vida Hialeah, a 9-acre development with 260 apartment units and 51,000 square feet of retail space at 2901 to 3099 West 16th Avenue and 1571 West 29th Street.
