American Landmark Expands Jacksonville Presence
American Landmark Expands Jacksonville Presence
August 31, 2023

The owner-operator has acquired a 322-unit community in a sought-after submarket.

American Landmark Apartments has expanded its portfolio in the Jacksonville, Florida, metro with the acquisition of The Wimberly at Deerwood from Olympus Property. The 322-unit development, located in southeast Jacksonville’s Deerwood submarket, is the firm’s sixth community in the metro.

The Tampa-based multifamily owner-operator has plans for an extensive renovation and repositioning of the property, which it has rebranded as The Drake at Deerwood.

“Jacksonville is benefiting from new and expanding employers in the region and has emerged as one of the fastest-growing cities in the country,” said Christine DeFelippis, chief investment officer. “A lower cost of living, diversified economy, and proximity to destinations like the beaches underpin future growth, and we’re excited to expand our footprint in the metro with a premiere, well-located, and well-maintained asset with plenty of upside potential.”

Built in 2000, the community offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom layouts from 659 to over 1,300 square feet. Interiors feature 9-foot ceilings, chef-style kitchens with stainless steel appliances, wood-style plank flooring, oversized closets, and patios or balconies. According to American Landmark, granite countertops, new kitchen backsplashes, and new cabinet faces will be added to each unit along with smart locks and thermostats, USB outlets, and new plumbing and lighting fixtures.

The community has a wealth of resort-inspired amenities, such as a swimming pool and sundeck, an outdoor kitchen with grills, a sand volleyball court, and two dog parks. Residents also have access to a community clubhouse with an oversized resident lounge, a movie theater, a media room, a billiards lounge, a game room, and a fitness studio. In addition, garages and boat parking are available for rent.

American Landmark plans to upgrade the clubhouse, fitness center, and the pool and outdoor kitchen area. In addition, it will add electric vehicle charging stations, package lockers, a new camera system as well as upgrade roofs, landscaping, and exterior paint.

American Landmark Apartments , one of the nation’s leading multifamily investment managers and owner-operators, has acquired Park Avenue at Boulder Creek, a 292-unit apartment community located in Houston, Texas. The property will be the firm’s 14th asset in the Houston area and rebranded as Toscana Parkway, further expanding American Landmark’s Texas portfolio while strengthening the firm’s presence in one of the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan areas. Located in southeast Houston adjacent to Pearland, the community benefits from the continued economic and population growth of the Greater Houston metropolitan area, which surpassed 7.9 million residents in 2025 after adding 126,720 new residents, marking the largest population gain of any U.S. metropolitan area (Greater Houston Partnership). The region’s diverse economy is anchored by nationally recognized healthcare, energy, aerospace, manufacturing and logistics industries, creating sustained demand for high-quality multifamily housing. Major employment centers including the Texas Medical Center, Port Houston and NASA’s Johnson Space Center continue to support the region’s long-term economic strength. “Houston continues to distinguish itself as one of the nation’s strongest multifamily investment markets because of its population growth, diverse employment base and long-term economic resilience,” said Elizabeth Roy , Chief Investment Officer at American Landmark Apartments. “Toscana Parkway is a well-located community with direct highway connectivity and immediate access to the retail and everyday amenities residents value. With no new deliveries in the submarket, we see a clear opportunity to invest behind the property’s fundamentals—executing the first capital improvement program since the community was built and bringing American Landmark’s operational expertise and value-add approach to enhance the resident experience for years to come.” Built in 2009, Toscana Parkway offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes and has not undergone a major capital renovation since its original construction, presenting a clear value-add opportunity. Community amenities include a resort-style saltwater swimming pool, fitness center, sauna, clubhouse, business center, volleyball court, children’s playground and poolside grilling areas. Apartment homes feature spacious floor plans with stainless steel appliances, island kitchens, dishwashers, crown molding, walk-in closets, and private patios or balconies. Located at 11575 Pearland Pkwy, Toscana Parkway offers residents highly accessible connectivity and a deep base of nearby retail. Sam Houston Pkwy is less than five minutes away, providing direct access to Interstate 45 and State Hwy 288 and seamless connectivity throughout the Houston metropolitan area. The community sits approximately 15 minutes from William P. Hobby Airport, 20 minutes from the Texas Medical Center—the largest medical center in the world—and less than 30 minutes from Downtown Houston, with abundant shopping, dining and daily-needs retail within immediate reach. With limited new supply delivered in the submarket, the property is well positioned to capture sustained rental demand. The acquisition aligns with American Landmark’s strategy of investing in well-located multifamily communities across high-growth Sun Belt markets supported by favorable demographic trends and strong long-term economic fundamentals.
