AVE is excited to bring its best-in-class multifamily apartment living experience and flexible-stay, housing solution to the Tampa Bay area with AVE Tampa Riverwalk!
The brand new, 353-unit, eight-story, residential community boasts 25,000 square feet of resident amenity space, and offers a unique flexible-stay living solution in Downtown Tampa.
AVE Tampa Riverwalk is AVE’s first professionally managed property in the Tampa Bay area.
“We are focused on growing our AVE portfolio of first-class residential properties in key growth markets across the U.S. This acquisition represents the first of many new ventures in Tampa,” says Bradley Korman, co-CEO of the Philadelphia-area-based Korman Communities. “We are proud to have RXR as our partner on this venture, as our organizations are aligned on values and visions for the future.”
AVE will be introducing its furnished apartment service, offering flexible month-to-month leases to the Tampa market. All furnished apartments include a custom furniture package, a fully accessorized kitchen, a washer and dryer in residence, a linen package, and all utilities.
“We are a solution for individuals who need a comfortable, flexible place to stay for 30 days or more. The Tampa Bay metro area is one of the top five relocation destinations in the U.S. right now,” says Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and president of the AVE. “We can be a place for them to test drive the area or hang their hat until they purchase a home.”
AVE also will bring its best-in-class multifamily apartment living experience, which is designed to deliver the ultimate carefree lifestyle and a strong sense of community.
