Vista Residential Partners Breaks Ground on 297-Unit Clear Lake Vista Apartments in Savannah Submarket of Pooler, Georgia

POOLER, GA – Vista Residential Partners, a national multifamily development firm, has broken ground on 14.8 acres on East Marketplace Way in Pooler, Georgia, for the development of Clear Lake Vista, a 297-unit multifamily project a part of the 181-acre master mixed-use development Clear Lake Reserve.
Clear Lake Vista will service the pent-up demand of Class-A multifamily finishes and amenities with a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartment units. Interior finishes include granite countertops in the kitchen/bath areas, stainless steel appliances, subway-tile backsplashes, wood-like flooring, tiled shower surround, and washer/dryer in each unit. Residents will benefit from a full amenity set including a resort-style pool, fitness area, pickleball court, clubhouse with coffee machines, package center, dog park and direct access to commercial uses within Clear Lake Reserve.
“Pooler and the greater Savannah submarket continues to undergo a population and job growth explosion catalyzed by a uniquely resilient economic environment that is uncommon among medium-sized markets” says Chase Beasley, Managing Director of Vista Residential Partners. “This significant growth will enable the submarket to continue on its upward trajectory within the nation, and we could not be more pleased to invest in the market with a quality driven product providing residents first-class finishes and amenity offerings.”
Located along the I-16 Corridor of Savannah, the project is approximately 13 miles West of downtown Savannah, 12 miles SE of the Hyundai Meta-plant and 8 miles South of Savannah International Airport. The submarket corridor has seen explosive growth over the past decade, primarily due to job growth within manufacturing, logistics, aerospace/airlines, healthcare and food/beverage.
30 million SF of industrial space is currently under construction within 15 miles of Clear Lake Vista while the Port of Savannah is projected to become the fourth largest port in the US by volume by 2030. With $106 billion in transaction volume, 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 is close to completing their $5.5 billion manufacturing facility nearby. The plant will use 8,500 workers between an electric vehicle assembly plant and an adjacent EV battery factory, making it the largest single economic development project in Georgia history. In addition to the announced job offerings by Hyundai, $2.4 billion dollars of investment by ancillary producers is expected to bring an additional 6,700 jobs.
“Vista continues to focus on delivering high-quality multifamily developments in markets experiencing outsized job and population growth”, says Scott Hartley, Chief Investment Officer for Vista Residential Partners. “Alongside PointOne Holdings and Amerant Bank, we’re excited to close on our second development in Savannah.”

Linc Housing and W&J Investments Start Construction on Heritage Park Affordable and Supportive Housing Community in Sonoma

WINDSOR, CA – Nonprofit Linc Housing and its co-developer W&J Investments announced the start of construction on Heritage Park Apartments, a 33-home affordable and supportive housing community in Sonoma County’s Town of Windsor. The all-new complex, located at 8685 Ancient Redwood Highway, will be for veterans who have experienced homelessness, veteran families, and low-income working families earning 30-80% of the area median income.
According to the latest data from the Association of Bay Area Governments, more than 55% of rental-occupied households in Windsor are cost burdened, paying more than 30% of their income on rent, demonstrating the needs for more affordable housing.
“This is an incredibly impactful project,” said Windsor Mayor Rosa Reynoza. “It’s vital to not only provide housing but also offer the support and services that can help people thrive in the long term. Having wraparound services will make a difference to the individuals and families residing here.”
The three-tale building will feature 4 one-bedroom homes, 16 two-bedroom homes and 13 three-bedroom homes for larger families. Ten units are designated for veterans who have been homeless and will be supported by Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) vouchers through the City of Santa Rosa Housing Authority. Eight additional apartments are subsidized with project-based vouchers from the Sonoma County Housing Authority. These 18 households will also receive onsite support through wraparound services provided by Reach for Home and the Veteran’s Administration HUD-VASH team. Support will include mental health and physical health services, employment counseling and job placement, education, substance use counseling, money management, help in obtaining and maintaining benefits, and referrals to community-based services and resources.
“As the cost of housing and other basic necessities continue to rise, families throughout California struggle to make ends meet and many are at risk of becoming homeless,” said Rebecca Clark, Linc Housing CEO. “Heritage Park reflects Linc Housing’s commitment to making opportunities and stability through housing with services for vulnerable populations while nurturing a vibrant, supportive community where everyone can thrive.”
Heritage Park will offer community spaces to foster connection and relaxation, including landscaped outdoor areas, a play area for children, and a multi-purpose room for resident events and activities. These amenities promote a sense of belonging and enhance residents’ quality of life. Other features will include a computer lab, bicycle storage, a community garden, and convenient access to public transportation, shopping and other services.
“This development has been a long time in the making,” said Michael Weyrick, president of W&J. “We’re so appreciative of our partnership with Windsor and Sonoma County and their support in helping us bring this much-needed housing to the community. We look forward to welcoming residents in early 2026.”
Funding for the development comes from a variety of sources, including loans from the Town of Windsor, American Rescue Plot Funds from Sonoma County, construction loan from JP Morgan Chase, permanent loan from Citibank, and tax credit equity from Raymond James. Predevelopment support was provided by the Town of Windsor.

Grand Opening of 424-Unit Aster & Links Mixed Use Apartment Community Brings Public Art and Luxury Living to Downtown Sarasota

SARASOTA, FL – Aster & Links, the highly anticipated mixed-use luxury apartment community by Belpointe OZ, is celebrated its grand opening, marking a transformative moment for downtown Sarasota. This landmark development replaces the former One Main Plaza, and revitalizes it into a thriving, pedestrian-friendly destination featuring world-class residential living, premier retail, and a stunning public art installation.
At the heart of the grand opening is “Touch”, a striking 15-foot stainless steel sculpture by nationally acclaimed artist Zachary Oxman, whose works have been commissioned by three U.S. Presidents. The sculpture, placed at Aster’s entrance, is an abstract interpretation of the human hand, symbolizing connection, curiosity, and exploration. Its open voids make shifting perspectives depending on the angle of view, reinforcing the power of human interaction. The sculpture anchors a vibrant community space where art, architecture, and urban living intersect.
Aster & Links has rapidly become Sarasota’s premier address for those seeking an upscale, culture-infused lifestyle. This two-building community offers distinctive styles—Aster’s light and airy sophistication with textured stone and driftwood finishes, and Links’ bold, urban vibe with vibrant hues and industrial-chic details.
“Aster & Links is redefining luxury rental living in Sarasota,” said Brandon Lacoff, CEO of Belpointe OZ. “Not only have we made an exceptional residential and retail community, but we are also proud to contribute to Sarasota’s rich artistic and cultural landscape with the incredible work of Zachary Oxman.”
Adding to the convenience, Aster & Links features approximately 60,000 square feet of curated retail, including Sprouts Farmers Market, OfKors Cafe, Isabel Boutique, ServisFirst Bank, and SkinSpirit, with more retailers coming soon.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Sarasota, Aster & Links places resident’s steps from top dining, shopping, and entertainment options, as well as cultural institutions like the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Ringling Museum, and Sarasota Opera House. With award-winning beaches just minutes away and Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport less than five miles from home, residents delight in both convenience and leisure in equal measures.
