Clarion Partners LLC, a New York investment management company, bought a garden-style Boca Raton apartment community for $120.8 million in a strong multifamily market fueled by population growth and decreased homeownership.

A Clarion affiliate bought the renamed 384-unit Cortland Boca Raton from an affiliate of another real estate investor, PGIM Real Estate based in Madison, New Jersey, on July 12. The price breaks down to $314,674 per unit and $277 per square foot.
