Jan. 31, 2023 –  The Connor Group completed its first property acquisition of 2023 with the purchase of The Boulevard in Tampa earlier this month. The 260-unit property is the Dayton-based real estate investment firm’s fourth purchase in Tampa since entering the market in 2019. “The Tampa market is one where we’ve been incredibly successful, and we are excited to expand our portfolio,” managing partner Larry Connor said. “The Boulevard is a Class-A asset, in an excellent location and it fits our business model.” The transaction expands The Connor Group’s portfolio to 12,971 units across 17 markets. The acquisition comes on the heels of another record-setting year for the company, which closed more than $3 billion in transactions in 2022.
