Independence, Ohio, Aug. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With new neighborhoods celebrating their grand openings, a growing portfolio and additional projects in the pipeline, Redwood has enjoyed a solid start through the first half of 2024.
A developer and manager of single-story apartment homes, Redwood has opened more than 10 new neighborhoods so far in 2024, with more in the pipeline for the rest of the year and into 2025.
“The demand for housing is still strong, and Redwood is meeting the need in markets throughout the Midwest and Carolinas,” said Steve Kimmelman, CEO and Founder. “We’re pleased with our performance through the first half of the year and continue to see momentum heading into the remainder of 2024.”
New BTR Neighborhoods Across the Midwest & Carolinas
Redwood officially welcomed its first residents in the state of Nebraska, opening Redwood Bellevue South 25th Street, which is located about 15 minutes south of Omaha.
“We’re excited about the greater Omaha area and the broader state of Nebraska,” Kimmelman said. “We see significant opportunity to bring our unique model of single-story apartments to a growing area with a strong business community and excellent quality of life.”
Redwood also continues to build on its significant presence in Ohio, opening new neighborhoods from north to south, including the visitor destination of Sandusky on Lake Erie, West Jefferson in the greater Columbus area and Redwood Cincinnati Pippin Road on the north side of Cincinnati.
Other new neighborhoods include two in the greater Chicago area, one east of Indianapolis and two in North Carolina.
“We’re very selective about our geographies and excited by every one of our new markets,” Kimmelman said. “These are outstanding sites surrounded by amenities that will create the comprehensive lifestyle Redwood is committed to delivering.”
Looking forward, Redwood has a robust pipeline of projects in development, with openings scheduled throughout the remainder of 2024 and into next year.
Portfolio Growth, Solid Occupancy
Redwood’s portfolio now encompasses more than 18,000 apartment homes developed and under management.
“It’s our goal to not only grow our presence and market share but maintain our reputation as a best-in-class developer and operator,” Kimmelman said.
“We strategically select our locations, invest in high-quality neighborhoods and the talent to manage them, and view ourselves as a long-term operator. That’s reflected in our steady and stable portfolio growth.”
Redwood’s footprint includes almost 150 neighborhoods in nine states, supported by a team of more than 600 employees.
The Redwood portfolio also continues to report solid occupancy, averaging 94.75 percent across its stabilized properties as of August 14, 2024.
