Wood Trail Apartments is a fully entitled, shovel
ready multi-family development located in the growing New Port Richey
submarket of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater MSA. This 90-unit project
is strategically positioned within one of Florida’s most dynamic and affordable
suburban markets, benefiting from strong population growth, infrastructure
investment, and increasing demand for high-quality rental housing.
This thoughtfully designed, garden-style community has received all necessary
zoning approvals and entitlements, eliminating pre-development risk and allowing
for a streamlined path to construction. With architectural plans complete and
permits ready to issue, groundbreaking is anticipated in Q3 2025. The property
will feature one four-story building with ground-floor parking, an average unit size
of 1,125 SF, and a total of 101,244 net rentable square feet.
Located within minutes of Clearwater Beach, St. Pete, and Downtown Tampa,
the site enjoys proximity to major employment hubs including Tampa General
Hospital, MacDill Air Force Base, Bloomin’ Brands headquarters, and the bustling
Downtown Tampa business district. The New Port Richey submarket offers
an attractive cost advantage compared to surrounding coastal communities,
appealing to workforce renters seeking affordability without sacrificing access
to jobs, retail, and recreation.
Importantly, this investment opportunity offers strong projected returns with an
8% preferred return and a 50/50 backend split targeting a 22–25% IRR. The project
is fully entitled, with land acquisition completed and debt funding scheduled for
Q3 2025. All major design and engineering work is in place, providing a turnkey
opportunity for investors to participate in a high-demand, supply-constrained
rental market poised for growth.
