Cushman & Wakefield Arranges Sale Of The Nine At Central Student Housing Apartment Community

Cushman & Wakefield arranged the sale of The Nine at Central, a recently built 201-unit and 764-bed student housing apartment community located at the University of Central Florida.

The Nine at Central was sold by 908 Group and Scannell Properties and purchased by L3 Campus, a student-housing focused owner and operator with around 5,000 beds across various markets. Travis Prince, Shawn Lubic, and Victoria Marks-Vagnier of Cushman & Wakefield’s Student Housing Capital Markets team represented the seller in the transaction. The firm also brokered the sale of the land, on which the community was developed, back in 2021.

“Florida’s growth story has been a catalyst for the high demand we are seeing for student housing beds in the Orlando market. The opportunity to acquire The Nine at Central allows new ownership to benefit from this and acquire best in class product and location in a Power 5 market,” said Travis Prince, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield.

Built in 2023, The Nine at Central is one of the area’s top housing options that provides students with superior amenities and convenient access to campus. Units are fully furnished with in-unit laundry and residents also benefit from the community’s state-of-the-art fitness center, pool with cabanas, dog park, study pods and suites, and a 24/7 coffee bar.
