,(Bloomberg) -- Preferred Apartment Communities Inc., a real estate investment trust that owns retail and multifamily properties, is exploring options including a full or partial sale after receiving inbound interest, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

As of Sept. 30, it owned or was invested in 107 properties in 13 U.S. states such as Florida, South Carolina and Texas, mostly Class A apartment buildings as well as grocery-anchored shopping centers. The REIT also makes multifamily real estate loans.
