TAMPA, FL - Carter, a leading Atlanta-based real estate development company, announced its role as co-developer for Prospect Highland Oaks, a new 324-unit luxury apartment community in Tampa, Florida. This garden-style project, being developed in partnership with Brook Farm Group, will address the growing demand for high-quality housing in the thriving Brandon submarket.
"We are thrilled to bring Prospect Highland Oaks to the Tampa community," said Jerome Hagley, COO/CFO of Carter. "This project exemplifies our dedication to delivering thoughtfully designed developments that not only meet the needs of today’s residents but also positively impact the neighborhoods we serve. Together with our partners at Brook Farm Group, we look forward to contributing to Tampa’s remarkable growth and vitality."
Carter’s experience in Florida is underscored by notable projects, including NINE15, a luxury mixed-use community in downtown Tampa; The DeSOTA, a premier apartment tower in Sarasota; Prospect Lake Wire, a sophisticated new Class-A multifamily anchored mixed-use development in historic Lakeland; Story Wesley Chapel, a 320-unit luxury apartment community in Wesley Chapel; and Story Lake Gibson, a 300-unit luxury apartment community in Lakeland. These developments reinforce Carter’s commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality communities throughout the state and the greater Southeast region.
Located less than half a mile from the I-75 and Route 574 interchange, Prospect Highland Oaks will offer residents exceptional access to Tampa's central business district and other key employment centers. The site is strategically positioned within one mile of the regional headquarters for JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup, which together employ over 7,500 professionals. This proximity provides a convenient, walkable commute for employees of these major corporations.
The development is poised to capitalize on Hillsborough County's strong in-migration and macro growth trends. The east side of Tampa has seen limited new multifamily supply, positioning Prospect Highland Oaks to meet growing demand in a market with minimal competition. The project team includes equity partners Mill Green Capital and Fundrise, construction lender Ameris Bank, general contractor Oxford Properties and project architect Preston Partnership.
This development underscores Carter's commitment to creating high-quality, strategically located residential communities that enhance their surrounding areas. By providing modern living spaces with unparalleled commuter access, Carter continues to contribute to the dynamic growth of markets like Tampa.
