Tampa, FL – American Landmark Apartments, one of the fastest-growing multifamily owner-operators in the country, has announced its intentions to add another $2 billion in apartment properties to its growing multifamily portfolio in 2019 – exceeding its 2018 investment target. The privately held company, which specializes in value-add multifamily acquisitions and repositioning, acquired nearly 9,000 apartments worth over $1.5 billion in 2018. The company’s total portfolio now exceeds 25,000 apartments, valued at over $4 billion, in key markets throughout the Southeast and Texas.

 

Specifically, American Landmark is focused on expanding its portfolio of workforce apartments in fast-growing Sun Belt markets like Orlando and Jacksonville, Fla.; Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.; and Houston, Texas; which are all experiencing above-average job growth and a significant influx of new residents. 

 

“We achieved our goal of $1.5 billion in acquisitions in 2018, capping off a successful year that exemplifies our strength at identifying off-market opportunities and executing quickly,” said Joe Lubeck, CEO of American Landmark Apartments. “We intend to stay the course in 2019 and continue to focus on Sun Belt cities where job and population growth remains healthy and the demand for workforce apartments – particularly Class A minus and B product – is incredibly strong. It feels like we’re in the 17th inning for multifamily real estate now, but with more people renting than ever before, I think we’ve still got several innings ahead of us.” 

 

In 2018, American Landmark acquired 28 multifamily assets in key markets throughout the Southeast and Texas, adding 8,960 apartments to its portfolio. The company simultaneously divested $800 million in assets. American Landmark acquisitions in 2018 are listed below according to geography:
