Vista Residential Partners Announces Groundbreaking on 300-Unit Riverchase Vista Apartment Community in Savannah, Georgia

SAVANNAH, GA – Vista Residential Partners, a national multifamily development firm, has broken ground on 15 acres on Chatham Center Drive in Savannah, Georgia, for the development of Riverchase Vista, a 300-unit multifamily development. Vista has partnered with the strategic real estate development investment firm Batson Cook Development Company to construct the project. This will be Vista and BCDC’s third development project together.
Located on Chatham Center Drive, Riverchase Vista is part of a master plotted mixed use development that will be neighbored by a Class A hotel, restaurants, and retailers. The development will sit within Chatham Center, one of the first business parks of its kind, concentrated around a 43-acre lake with a walking and jogging path. Riverchase Vista will welcome residents in early 2024.
Riverchase Vista is conveniently located to Interstate 16 and minutes from Downtown Savannah, Interstate 95, and various job centers throughout the metro. The Port of Savannah, home to the largest single-terminal container facility of its kind in North America, continue to be a major source of economic growth for the city. With $106 billion in sales, over five plotted expansion projects, and additional capital improvements approved, the Port of Savannah continues to be an economic powerhouse fostering growth statewide.
South Korean automaker Hyundai recently announced their $5.5 billion investment to build a new manufacturing facility nearby. The site, which will be complete in 2025, will use 8,100 workers between an electric vehicle assembly plant and an adjacent EV battery factory, making it the largest single economic development project in Georgia history.
Amazon is close to completing a 640,000 SF fulfillment center that will make 1,000 new full-time jobs. The new facility is located within the Savannah Megasite off I-16 and will be Amazon’s third location in the Savannah area.
“What a remarkable location. Riverchase Vista has fantastic pedestrian and vehicular access, proximate to neighborhood amenities and greenspace and the Vista team always does a fantastic job with design,” says Litt Glover, President and CEO of BCDC. We’re proud to be part of the team working to deliver something special.”
The community will offer a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment homes averaging nearly 1,000 square feet. Designed by architect Niles Bolton, the garden style apartments will feature stainless steel appliances, 9-foot ceilings, vinyl plank flooring, in-unit washers and dryers, and spacious floorplans. Riverchase Vista will also features a luxury clubhouse, resort style pool, fitness center, a large pet park, 24/7 package concierge, and more.
“The Savannah metro region is an economic star, with a broad foundation for continuing robust growth in the near term,” says Michael Neyhart, Managing Director of Vista Residential Partners. “Its GDP has grown by nearly 50% over the last decade, a by-product of its deep-water port, the 3rd busiest container port in the U.S., and the fastest growing seaport by container volume in the past 10 years.”

Lyle, Remy, and The Settler represent the first three joint ventures in North Texas under the strategic relationship that Toll Brothers and Equity Residential established in 2021. The three communities join the continued expansion of Toll Brothers Apartment Living in Texas, with future communities in the state plotted for Austin and Houston.
Hosted at the construction site of Lyle in Dallas, the October 27 groundbreaking celebration was attended by senior executives from Toll Brothers Apartment Living and Equity Residential, and members of the media.
We are excited to break ground on our first three Class A residential development projects in Texas as part of our new partnership with Equity Residential. Through our continued successful partnership, we look forward to providing thoughtfully designed and uniquely elevated apartment homes, said Charles Elliott, President of Toll Brothers Apartment Living. These communities are located in some of the most vibrant and desirable neighborhoods of the Dallas-Fort Worth market, offering the perfect blend of lifestyle and luxury with everything a resident would need and want right outside their doorstep.
The three new communities currently under construction in North Texas include:
Lyle, a five-tale, 334-unit multifamily rental community in Dallas. Located at the intersection of Trinity Mills and Addison Road, and adjacent to the Dallas North Tollway, the site offers fantastic access to several employment hubs including the Galleria Dallas, Legacy Business Park, Granite Business Park, Las Colinas, CityLine, Hall Park, and The Star, which is located within the $5 Billion Mile. The project is being financed through a construction loan facility from Santander Bank, N.A. Lyle broke ground in August 2022 and is anticipated to open in spring 2024.
Remy, a five-tale, 357-unit multifamily rental community in the vibrant Frisco Town Center in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. The site is located at the intersection of Gordon and Church Streets and along Frisco s North Platinum Corridor, a Development Center on the Dallas North Tollway. Residents will benefit from walkability to an abundance of restaurants, retail, and entertainment options, including a Cinemark movie theater, a free public library, and MLS franchise FC Dallas soccer stadium. It is also located adjacent to Frisco s City Hall and Medical City Frisco hospital. The project is being financed through a construction loan facility from Santander Bank, N.A. Remy broke ground in February 2022 and is anticipated to open in Fall 2023.

The project is being financed through a construction loan facility from U.S. Bank. The Settler broke ground in June 2022 and is anticipated to open in early 2024.
All three communities will feature high-end luxury finishes and residents will delight in best-in-class amenity packages, including resort-style pools, co-working spaces, state-of-the-art fitness centers, and more.
Dallas-Fort Worth is a dynamic market with a growing population of the affluent renter demographic that we are interested in capturing. We are expanding our presence in the market and believe that these properties will make brilliant additions to our existing portfolio there, said Benjamin Stoll, Equity Residential s Senior Vice President of Development. We are delighted to be partnering with the highly capable team at Toll Brothers and feel that these developments are a terrific start to a strategic partnership that will be very beneficial for both Equity Residential and Toll Brothers.
Through the partnership between Toll Brothers and Equity Residential, the parties initially intend to focus on selectively acquiring and developing sites for apartment rental communities in specific metro markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth, where both parties have a significant or growing presence. Under the partnership, Equity Residential has committed to invest 75% of the equity for each selected project and Toll Brothers will invest 25%. It is expected that each project will also be financed with approximately 60% leverage. Equity Residential will have the option to buy each property upon stabilization. The parties have targeted an initial minimum co-investment of approximately $750 million in combined equity, or nearly $1.9 billion capacity, assuming 60% leverage.
These joint venture projects join a growing portfolio of Toll Brothers Apartment Living apartment communities across North Texas, including Aster, a 22-tale, 270-unit luxury high-rise in Dallas, and Ferro, a four-tale, 383-unit luxury apartment community in Plano.
