Bringing Unsurpassed Residences to Both Desert and Seaside Communities
Expanding upon its initial investment with AVE in over 1800 residential units spanning seven properties in northern New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia Area, RXR and Korman Communities have partnered in two vibrant new markets: Phoenix, Arizona and Tampa, Florida.
AVE Phoenix Terra was introduced in early 2022. Boasting 60,000 square feet of amenity space, the brand new 348-unit, seven-story, AVE Phoenix Terra is more than just luxury apartment living. It’s a new style of living for individuals, couples, and families seeking both short- and long-term leases in the Phoenix region. AVE brings its best-in-class multifamily apartment living experience, designed to deliver the ultimate carefree lifestyle and a strong sense of community.
As Lea Anne Welsh, COO of Korman Communities and President of the AVE division, explains, “The Phoenix housing market has never been hotter in recent history.” Describing AVE’s flexible-stay offerings, which are novel and unique to the Phoenix area, “We can be a place for individuals needing a stay for 30 days or longer to hang their hat until they find their next home. They just need to bring their suitcase – we’ll take care of the rest!” AVE’s dedicated on-site hospitality team excels in superb concierge services.
Since its opening, AVE Phoenix Terra has become a highly sought-after first-class residential property. Residents are attracted not just by its month-to-month leasing options but by the inspired floorplans and community features such as a pristine pool, access to courtyards, putting green, fire pit lounge, 24/7 fitness center, supportive business center, mixology lounge, and even a dog wash station. Long-term residents can rest easy knowing that they get to enjoy all first-class amenities as well. Welsh notes that the focus her team is to ensure residents feel like their every need is anticipated and met.
AVE Phoenix Terra will feature onsite dining concepts and more convenience amenities. These will come concurrently with the opening of another similar space downtown, AVE Phoenix Sky, opening January, 2024. Like Phoenix Terra, AVE Phoenix Sky has been purchased by Korman Communities and RXR to serve as yet another multifamily unit building aimed at surpassing resident expectations. This brand new, state-of-the-art residential high-rise soars over Downtown Phoenix with 17 floors of chic, spacious apartments for rent and sophisticated fully furnished apartments for shorter stays. AVE Phoenix Sky, with inspiring city and Camelback views, features unparalleled amenities including a sky deck with resort pool, hot tub, and grilling stations, spacious clubhouse with comfortable seating options and gaming, resident social lounge with fully equipped, chef-inspired kitchen and dining areas.
Developing innovative housing solutions in the desert beauty of Phoenix is only the beginning of the Korman-RXR partnership. The partnership has also concentrated its winning strategy along the seaside city of Tampa, Florida. Chosen because of its location in the heart of Downtown Tampa, AVE Tampa Riverwalk appeals to residents because of the city’s dynamic cultural scene. This central location also makes it desirable for area professionals.
AVE Tampa Riverwalk features a variety of apartment floorplans ranging from studio to three-bedroom featuring contemporary amenities including chef-inspired kitchens. All residents enjoy complimentary access to unprecedented, on-demand amenities featuring a palm-tree lined pool courtyard with lounge areas and outdoor kitchen, a dynamic rooftop lounge boasting a fully equipped kitchen, fire pit, comfortable seating, and breathtaking views of Tampa. AVE’s professional Resident Services team is on site seven days a week to assist with day-to-day living needs.
“We want to ensure our residents are comfortable and feel taken care of,” says Welsh. “Our experienced, friendly team is on site every day to provide a quality living experience and a sense of community through concierge support, events, and partnerships.”
AVE Tampa Riverwalk also boasts 12,000-square-feet of retail space, with the goal to bring six exciting dining and fitness concepts to the neighborhood and ultimately offer more convenience amenities for residents. Rumble Boxing, Pacific Counter, BARE Blends, Melting Pot Social, and Flatbread & Butter have already signed commitments.
