CPI Citrus Park Owner LLC, an affiliate Carlyle Property Investors that is a subsidiary of the giant Washington, D.C.-based investment firm Carlyle Group, bought the 420-acre property from Trost International Inc., Lee County property records indicate.
Citrus Park-Trost International developed the 1,536-unit community, which contains various recreational amenities such as swimming pools, tennis and shuffleboard courts, softball field and a golf driving range, beginning in the 1970s.
