The apartment community is situated near multiple transportation nodes with easy access to I-75, I-95, Florida’s Turnpike, and the Ronald Reagan Turnpike. The rental community is located in a highly ranked school district and features community and apartment amenities that are comparable to market-rate apartment projects of similar vintage.

Sorrento offers spacious apartment units with one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plan options ranging from 651 to 1,187 square feet in size across 13 3-story buidlings. Unit interiors feature energy-efficient appliances, granite countertops, tiled kitchen and bathrooms, private balcony patios, modern bathroom vanities, and open floorplans. Residents of Sorrento enjoy community amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, clubhouse, resident pavilion with a barbecue area, a resident lounge, and a computer lab. Rents range from $826 for a one-bedroom unit to $1,382 for a three-bedroom apartment, and prospective tenants must meet certain income requirements at or below 50% to 60% of the area median income in Broward County.
The sale of Sorrento coincides with surging demand for affordable housing in South Florida, propelled by rapid population growth and a housing shortage. Related Companies’ acquisition signifies a substantial investment in the region’s affordable housing sector. Property records indicate that Related secured a $25 million acquisition loan through Berkadia Commercial Mortgage.
