Located adjacent to the Property is a Fresh Market retail center that also includes several smaller retail/restaurant-related tenants. A CVS is proposed for development adjacent to this site. Also located within close proximity is Downtown Jacksonville that features numerous high-rise office buildings and employers including Wells Fargo, Bank of America, EverBank, Prudential, Baptist Health and Haskell.

WHY APARTMENTS?
Nationwide, the apartment market has been a top performer driven by the growth of Echo Boomers (those born between 1980 and 2000) and aided by the lowest home ownership rate in 20 years.*
The majority (59%) of the 22 million new households that will form between 2010 and 2030 will rent, while just 41% will buy their homes. This change will create a surge in rental demand from now until 2030.
Consistent with this national trend, the Jacksonville Metropolitan Statistical Area (“Jacksonville Metro”) apartment market is very robust with a low
6.7% vacancy rate. Rental rates have risen steadily since 2010 and REIS Inc. forecasts sustained rent increases of 11% through 2020 driven by low vacancy rates.
