Kristol, executive managing director investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Fort Lauderdale office. “The buyer owns and operates affordable housing facilities across the United States and plans to invest significantly in Cabana Club.”

Kristol and Felipe Echarte,first vice president investments, represented the seller, a New York-based investment group, and procured the buyer.
