Artists in residence can get free rent at this Tampa apartment complex

American Landmark Apartments provides a year of free rent to artists in exchange for classes for residents.

TAMPA (August 15th) — Brian “B.V.” Cooper set up an art table in the clubhouse of a Town ‘n’ Country apartment complex. He poured paint into little round trays, put on happy music and offered wine and snacks to a group of residents who had gathered for the evening.

The Paint and Sip event is an amenity offered at the Amira at Westly in Town ‘n’ Country. It’s led by Cooper, an artist-in-residence who lives at the complex rent-free in exchange for leading free art classes. In addition to a year of free rent, he gets a stipend to buy materials and refreshments for the classes.

The program was conceived of by American Landmark Apartments, the Tampa-headquartered company that owns and operates the Amira, as well as other multifamily units in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Rachel Lubeck and Gladys Diaz started the program in 2019 as a way to provide both a relaxing community experience and a little housing relief for artists. It began in Fort Lauderdale, where there now have been three artists-in-residence. (There have also been two in Texas, one in Orlando and one in Wesley Chapel, and another one is set to debut in South Carolina.)

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.
