This property is an excellent addition to our growing Texas portfolio.”  

 

Built in 2018, The View of Fort Worth is located at 1852 North Eastside Drive, and consists of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 594 square feet to 1,169 square feet. Apartments feature chef-inspired kitchens with stainless steel appliances, designer tile backsplashes and quartz countertops; hardwood style flooring; large walk-in closets; energy-efficient thermostats; in-home washer/dryer; private patio or balcony; and views of downtown Fort Worth.

 

Community amenities include a resort-style pool and expansive sundeck and outdoor firepit lounge area; clubhouse with lounge, cyber café, business lounge, complimentary coffee bar, and package lounge; fitness center; bark park and pet wash spa; yoga loft; shuffleboard and life-sized snooker; and two courtyards.

 

In addition to rebranding, American Landmark will  add luxury lighting fixtures and electronic/smart locks in apartments, and complete upgrades to the pool deck area, fitness center and landscaping.

The community is conveniently located just off of I-35W, less than five minutes to downtown Fort Worth and the Fort Worth Stockyards historic district.

American Landmark Apartments, one of the fastest-growing multifamily owner-operators in the country, has acquired Sentosa Beachwalk, a brand new 348-unit multifamily community located in the Saint John’s suburb of Jacksonville, Florida. The community will be renamed The Elysian.
 
With this acquisition, American Landmark’s portfolio now stands at 30,000 units throughout the Southeast, with four communities in the Jacksonville MSA. 
 
“We remain bullish on the long-term prospects for Jacksonville and other cities in the Southeast, which we anticipate will recover quickly once the country re-opens for business,” said Christine DeFilippis, Chief Investment Officer of American Landmark. “Jacksonville’s population grew by about 10 percent this past decade, and it has a strong back-bone of jobs in manufacturing, logistics and financial services. While the city may see some tempering of job growth moving forward, we do anticipate continued in-migration from states in the Northeast which will shore up demand for apartments throughout the region.”
 
Brian Moulder and Dhaval Patel of Walker & Dunlop in Jacksonville brokered the transaction.
 
In addition to renaming the property, American Landmark plans to undertake minor property upgrades including adding USB outlets to individual apartments, installing a temperature-controlled package locker delivery system, landscape beautification and upgrades to the common areas, car wash and dog park areas. 
 
Built in 2019, Sentosa Beachwalk is located at 65 Sentosa Drive. One-, two- and three-bedroom units include spacious floor plans, granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and smart thermostat and light controls. Community amenities include a 24/7 fitness center, fireside lounge, resort-inspired swimming pool, volleyball courts, playgrounds and laundry and dry cleaning. 
 
The property is conveniently located a half hour from downtown Jacksonville in Southside. It is part of Beachwalk, a new resort-style community featuring a 14-acre Crystal Lagoon and over 450,000 square feet of retail and mixed-use space, including  a new Publix supermarket.
 
 
 

Charlotte, N.C. – American Landmark, one of the fastest-growing multifamily owner-operators in the country, has acquired Madison Square at Northlake, a 287-unit garden-style asset in Charlotte, North Carolina. Located in the Wedgewood neighborhood about 15 minutes north of downtown Charlotte, the Class A asset marks the firm’s seventh acquisition in the area. Madison Square at Northlake was 97 percent occupied at the time of acquisition.

American Landmark, and its equity partner Electra America, continue to selectively acquire properties in excellent locations across the Southeast and Southwest. The company has completed 26 property acquisitions worth over $1.5 billion since the beginning of 2018, adding over 10,000 apartment units to its portfolio.

“North Carolina’s growth continues to remain an attractive investment factor for us to consider, particularly new investments within Charlotte in the tech and innovation sectors,” said Christine DeFilippis, Chief Investment Officer of American Landmark. “From Lending Tree’s expected delivery of new jobs stemming from its expansion in Mecklenburg County, to the Charlotte and Triangle region’s upcoming Cleantech Commercialization Corridor platform for regional startups, the area is realizing a diverse labor market that will sustain apartment demand.”

American Landmark will carry out approximately $2.3 million in capital improvements throughout the property. Unit enhancements will include granite countertops within kitchens and bathrooms, USB outlets, and curved shower rods. Community enhancements will offer plank flooring throughout all common area levels and an expanded fitness center.

Built in 2013, Madison Square at Northlake is located at 10015 Madison Square Place. One-, two-, and three-bedroom units feature hardwood floors, crown molding, vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, window coverings, dishwasher and disposal.
