Multifamily industry leader takes on seven new community assignments in North Carolina and South Florida
Charlotte, NC and Miami, FL (March 13, 2019) — RKW RESIDENTIAL, a leading multifamily property management company, has continued the momentum from a historic 2018 with the addition of more than 1,700 units to its portfolio. The company was awarded seven new assignments in North Carolina and South Florida.
The new assignments include expanded relationships with existing clients such as Bluerock Real Estate and Greystone Development and a first-time partnership with Crescent Communities.
“In a competitive industry, there is not a bigger vote of confidence in our people than having developers and operators we presently work award us additional management and leasing assignments,” said Marcie Williams, president of RKW. “It is also incredibly gratifying to form new relationships. We look forward to those evolving into long-term partnerships.”
To support the aggressive growth in two core markets, RKW hired three new regional managers.
Nahleena Moore has joined the company’s Charlotte-based team to oversee its vast portfolio in the Carolinas. Julie Chu Zhang is also guiding operations throughout North Carolina, with a specialty in the Triangle and Triad markets.
In Miami, Elizabeth Vaccaro is on board to help guide the South Florida and Jacksonville portfolio of properties.
Moore, Chu Zhang and Vaccaro bring a combined 45 years of experience to RKW.
Inspire SouthPark is one of RKW’s new apartment community assignments. The 369-unit luxury building at 345 Sharon Township Lane in Charlotte’s SouthPark neighborhood was completed in 2018 by development partnership Morgan Bond. Inspire SouthPark is generating significant attention in the market for its array of amenities, including an on-site pet spa, dedicated yoga room, two dog parks and a coworking spaced called “Work Haus.”
The 90-unit Cade Boca Raton apartments is the seventh Bluerock-owned community managed by RKW. Cade is a Class A, townhome-style community located at Broken Sound Parkway and Yamato Road in Boca Raton, Fla.
In Miami, Fla., RKW oversees management and leasing at Greystone’s 14-story, 100-unit Aura Coral Gables. The company has launched pre-leasing at the 1501 SW 37th Ave. community.
Crescent hired RKW to manage Novel Research Park, a 280-unit luxury apartment community at the intersection of West Mallard Creek Church Road and Senator Royall Drive in Charlotte.
Additional new assignments include:
· The Pointe at Crabtree, a 336-unit community located at 4800 Waterford Pointe Drive in Raleigh
· Stone Ridge Apartments, a 318-unit community at 8940 Camden Creek Lane in Charlotte
· Whitehall Estates, a 252-unit community at 2400 Whitehall Estates Drive in Charlotte
