MYRTLE BEACH, SC – Buvermo Investments, a commercial real estate investment company, announced the acquisition of Inspire Coastal Grand, an active adult apartment home community in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The property, which now operates under the name, The Grove at Coastal Grand, is located at 1749 Sea Pine Blvd.
The acquisition highlights Buvermo’s growing investment in the active adult sector and will bring capital improvements to the current property, as well as the introduction of Greystar, the global leader in rental housing, as the new property management team onsite. Greystar is also the leader in active adult space, currently operating 90 active adult apartment homes and roughly 15,000 units nationwide.
“We are seeing an influx of older adults migrating to coastal towns that are seeking connection and community,” stated Kevin Woodley, Managing Partner at Buvermo. “Our goal in acquiring this resort-influenced community is to further develop community partnerships and both enhance the development offerings and innovate the operations for current and future residents. We are excited to be a part of all the growth in Myrtle Beach.”
Myrtle Beach’s first and only active adult community opened its doors in April 2021 to residents aged 55 years and older. The four-story, 194-unit development offers residents one-, two- and three-bedroom floorplans with private balconies and patios. Spanning over 9 acres, the community features include a resort-style pool, fitness center, yoga studio, creative arts room, theater room, billiards room, dog park, outdoor courtyards, walking trail, pickleball and bocce ball courts, and more. The property is located just minutes away from the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk and Promenade and near the Whispering Pines golf course, as well as a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options in the heart of Myrtle Beach.
“We are thrilled to partner with First National Bank on this acquisition,” said Jim Lindsey, Managing Partner at Buvermo. “We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with each of these experienced entities in both broadening our collective portfolios and serving the needs of residents 55 and older in Myrtle Beach. We look forward to further developing this property’s potential and offering tremendous value to the local community.”
The Grove at Coastal Grand is currently the only active living community that offers rental units in the local Myrtle Beacharea. Residents enjoy a resort-inspired carefree lifestyle, a strong sense of community, engaging programming with a plethora of on-site events, and amenities geared towards staying healthy and active, as well as a maintenance-free lifestyle—all differentiators between this property and others serving the 55+ age demographic.
Myrtle Beach is more than just a tourist destination and has been rated in the “Top 25 Best Places to Retire” by U.S. News & World Report, based on the happiness of local residents, housing affordability, tax rates and healthcare quality. With mild weather year-round and a coastal location with proximity to sprawling beaches and fine dining, the area draws tourists and retirees alike.

PORT ST LUCIE, FL – Lerner Enterprises of Rockville, Maryland has acquired Lerner Parc at Gatlin Commons, previously Parc at Gatlin Commons, located in Port St. Lucie, Florida. This class-A multifamily garden community is comprised of 200 apartments and 5,935 square feet of luxurious amenity space in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The building spans a total of 201,000 residential square feet over 14 acres, completed in September 2020. Lerner will also be the property and asset manager of Lerner Parc at Gatlin Commons.
“Parc at Gatlin Commons is the perfect complement to our existing Florida multifamily portfolio as we strive to acquire and develop Class A assets in the path of growth either in the Washington, D.C. metro or Florida markets. We plan to hold this asset for a long time and hope to continue adding to our Florida portfolio,” explained Michael L. Cohen, Vice President of Investments at Lerner.
The community is located only 2.5 miles east of Tradition, a master-planned mixed-use development featuring 1.2 million square feet across office, residential, numerous retail outlets and the Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital. In addition to Tradition, directly adjacent to the property are a number of retail outlets including Walmart, Sam’s Club and other shopping center favorites. The property’s location offers convenient access to major interstates with on-ramps to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike only 1.5 and 3.5 miles away, respectively. In addition to the multitude of existing employment opportunities, local growth has forced the expansion of major employers such as the Cleveland Clinic’s Martin Health and Tradition Hospital locations.
Located on Florida’s east-coast between Miami and Orlando, Port St. Lucie has emerged as one of the nation’s premier growth cities and the 3rd largest city in Florida. In 2019, it was named one of the fastest growing cities with the population doubling between 2000 and 2019. In the same year, the city was named as one of the safest cities in the U.S. and one of the best places to retire according to the TC Palm news agency. In May 2022, the Census Bureau named Port St. Lucie as the 12th fastest growing city during the pandemic with a growth rate of 5.2% and the population now topping more than 217,000 people.
“The Port St. Lucie submarket is one of the most dynamic across all of Florida. We have been looking for the right community in St. Lucie County and are thrilled with this addition to our portfolio. We are excited about the opportunity to offer an incredible living experience for our residents,” said Melissa Balkin, Managing Director, Lerner Residential Florida.
Lerner Parc at Gatlin Commons includes a resort-style swimming pool, outdoor kitchens and a top-class fitness center housed in the 5,935 square foot clubhouse. The residential property is fully equipped for resident life and comfort. Lerner received a loan from PCCP to finance the acquisition of Lerner Parc at Gatlin Commons.
“PCCP sees this as a compelling opportunity to lend to Lerner, an experienced multifamily operator, on this well-located, newly built Class A project in a high growth submarket of South Florida,” said Kevin Chin, Managing Director with PCCP.

Overland Property Group Opens 216-Unit The Reserves at Green Valley Ranch Mixed-Income Apartment Community in Denver, Colorado
DENVER, CO – Overland Property Group announced the grand opening of The Reserves at Green Valley Ranch mixed-income apartment community. Managed by Mission Rock Residential, the 216-unit community opened with residents moving in just in time to help alleviate the City of Denver’s growing housing affordability challenges.
“Our team has focused on the development of mixed-income housing since our company’s inception more than 20 years ago,” said Ryan Zent, the Vice President of Development with Overland. “We have been delivering affordable housing in Colorado’s mountain communities for years and are thrilled to now be doing the same right here in the Front Range. Denver’s housing needs are vast, and we are grateful to have participated in this successful partnership with both the City and State to help alleviate the growing demand for accessible housing in this fantastic community.”
The master-planned community of Green Valley Ranch (GVR) was annexed to Denver from Adams County nearly 50 years ago. No longer the new addition to Northeast Denver, GVR now holds a well-established place within Denver’s thriving Aerotropolis metro area. GVR is home to schools, a golf course, a recreation center, a public library, Town Center Park, a light rail stop at Pena Station, and a booming economic opportunity with its close proximity to Denver International Airport and the Gaylord of the Rockies resort and convention center.
In 2021, the Gateway Landing development broke ground in the Northwest Quadrant of Green Valley Ranch, thanks to the investment of Equity Ventures Commercial Development and project partner Wall Development Group. The total Gateway Landing development includes plans to develop a total of 525 residential units alongside commercial properties as well. The opening of The Reserves marks the delivery of the first 216 residential homes within this project.
144 of The Reserves’ 216 residences were crafted as permanently affordable housing, with income restrictions for renters ranging from 30% to 80% of the area’s Average Median Income (AMI). These units have already undergone the pre-leasing phase, with nearly 500 Denver residents applying for the homes. This deluge of applications has captured the attention of the City and County of Denver’s Department of Housing Stability, which provided $2,160,000 in financing toward the project.
“Projects like The Reserves at Green Valley Ranch help to get us well on our way of meeting our goal of producing 7,000 affordable homes over just five years,” said HOST Executive Director Britta Fisher. “These homes will make a lasting difference for Denver’s hard-working individuals and families for decades to come.”
The 72 additional market-rate apartment homes have also just completed construction and are now available for lease as well. These residences range in size from one to three bedrooms.
The community’s robust amenity package provides the full resident population with outstanding features such as a clubhouse with a leasing office, a 24/7 fitness center, a community room with indoor/outdoor fireplace, a fully equipped business center, a private theater, covered outdoor seating and firepit along with a community basketball court, kid’s playground, walking trails and picnic areas.
Mission Rock Residential has been selected to manage this new community and is already in place on-site delivering their award-winning community management and community engagement activities, along with handling the leasing activity.
“We are delighted to have partnered with the Overland Property Group in the activation and management of this beautiful new community,” said Meredith Wright, CAPS, CPM, President of Mission Rock Residential. “Our company has more than 10 years of experience in managing mixed-income communities across Colorado and around the country, and we are always thrilled when new communities like The Reserves open their doors, given the clear demand in markets like Denver today.”
In addition to Overland Property Group’s work with the City and County of Denver, the team also worked closely with the Colorado Housing & Finance Authority (CHFA) to garner tax credit support for the development, a key component of the project’s financing. The development was also made possible thanks to the IRS’ new income averaging program which allowed The Reserves to reach residents earning between 70-80% AMI, an audience who has historically been underserved. Through this income averaging program, residents will also have the chance to remain at The Reserves for longer periods, even as their income increases along the AMI spectrum.
“We have heard from residents in our apartment communities around the country that they want to be able to stay, and grow within their communities, not forced out due to incremental income increases,” said Matt Gillam, Managing Partner with the Overland Property Group. “Therefore, our team has worked hard to implement this new opportunity within the LIHTC program, and we are thrilled that our residents here in Green Valley Ranch will have the chance to stay in their homes and remain close with their neighbors and friends.”

The off-campus student apartment complex will undergo a $10 million renovation to further upgrade certain public and private spaces.
