About First Coast Apartment Association: In 1979, a group of apartment owners and managers joined together to form an association dedicated solely to the needs of the multifamily industry on the First Coast. That association was the Jacksonville Apartment Association. The association grew rapidly and formed an alliance with the Apartment Council of the Northeast Florida Builders Association. In 2003, recognizing that one organization could better serve the industry, the Apartment Council officially joined the Jacksonville Apartment Association. The result was the First Coast Apartment Association (FCAA). Today, FCAA is the fourth largest apartment association in Florida and continues to grow in both members and services. Its mission is, as it has always been, to promote, inform, and serve the apartment industry through education, legislation, and professional networking.
