AUSTIN, TX – National multifamily developer Wood Partners and its partner ParkProperty Capital (PPC) announced the start of construction on a 336-unit multifamily development in Hutto, Texas, a suburb outside of Austin. The project broke ground this week and is slated to deliver to the community in the third quarter of 2026.
Located off of Ed Schmidt Boulevard, the new community offers residents suburban living with access to urban conveniences, including the Co-Op District, Bushy Creek Amphitheater, a curated selection of retail and restaurants and more. Additionally, with access to Austin’s major highways, the development is in the center of some of the city’s top employers, including many high-tech, manufacturing and service companies. A recent report by The Williamson County Economic Development Partnership forecasts significant growth for the city of Hutto, which is projected to gain 32,800 new residents, requiring an additional 11,700 housing units to be delivered in the area.
“At Wood Partners, we’re committed to delivering high-quality multifamily developments that support the growth and success of cities like Hutto,” said Bart Barrett, Managing Director at Wood Partners. “Hutto offers a unique balance of a suburban lifestyle with accessible urban amenities and proximity to Downtown Austin, one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities. We’re proud to contribute to the region’s evolution by providing housing options that meet the needs of this thriving community.”
The multifamily community comprises 10 three-tale buildings and offers a variety of amenities including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a business lounge, private offices, a club room with a coffee station, a resort-style pool and a fenced dog park. In collaboration with city officials, the development will also feature two pickleball courts, parkland with a walking trail and an 18-hole disc golf course that will also be available for public use. Residents can expect granite countertops, 42-inch shaker-style cabinets, wood-like flooring, stainless steel appliances, full-size washer and dryer and ground-floor units with private fenced yards.

CHICAGO, IL – Oxford Capital Group announced its acquisition of the Carefree Portfolio, eleven seniors housing properties totaling 489 units in the Minneapolis area and northern Minnesota. An affiliate of Oxford bought the properties from an independent operator. Oxford’s senior housing management affiliate, Oxford Living US, LLC, will manage the properties. Terms of the transaction were not told.
“We are excited to continue to expand our senior housing silo as we strategically assemble a portfolio of properties throughout the United States and Canada,” said John W. Rutledge, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Oxford Capital Group, the Chicago based investor, manager, and developer, as well as Chairman of Oxford Living. “Oxford Living has made targeted senior housing acquisitions and investments in a number of growing markets throughout the southeastern United States, the Pacific northwest and Canada, including Florida and Ontario. Our Minnesota acquisition fits well into our acquisition strategy. We plot further portfolio acquisitions in these and other markets.”
“While most institutional investors focus on high-end development in urban centers, our strategy is to buy overlooked mid-market properties which are dependable, comfortable and affordable,” said Oxford Living President Lawrence Cummings, who has over thirty years of experience in seniors housing management, operations and development. “We have been warmly received by the resident community in the properties we are acquiring, as well as by the civic leadership in the Minnesota markets in which we are investing. We look forward to continuing to fulfill the properties’ mission to serve their residents and surrounding communities.”
Oxford Living focuses on high private pay senior housing properties in both primary and vital secondary markets throughout the United States and Canada. Acquisitions focus on markets with compelling demographics and properties with significant value-add potential.
The eleven property Carefree Portfolio totals 489 units located in the greater Minneapolis area, Duluth and other markets in northern Minnesota. Oxford will invest several million dollars in the coming years enhancing the properties and will add services in several of the properties as needed.

ATLANTA, GA – National multifamily developer Wood Partners expands its presence across the Southeast with the start of construction on projects in Palmetto, Florida, Nashville and Atlanta. The multifamily communities are part of the Wood Partners’ new attainable housing initiative offering upscale living at cost-effective rates.
“Wood Partners’ recent expansion in the Southeast makes valuable living opportunities in the region’s fastest-growing markets as we continue to deliver upscale yet attainable housing,” said Joe Keough, CEO at Wood Partners. “The growth of our attainable housing strategy has allowed us to provide high-quality, cost-effective apartments where they are most needed. We are meeting this unmet attainable housing demand across our entire national footprint.”
Palmetto is a 246-unit, four-tale attainable development in Palmetto, Florida, featuring a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment layouts. Centrally located between St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch, Palmetto offers proximity to award-winning beaches, top-tier medical facilities and premier shopping and dining destinations. In addition to neighborhood offerings, the multifamily community features a resort-style pool, a sundeck with shade sail, grill areas, a package room, fitness center, resident clubhouse with pool table and shuffleboards, coworking space, day office, hospitality kitchen, a dog park and an outdoor pet wash.
Gallatin, located at 1330 Nashville Pike, spans 35 acres and features 372 multifamily apartments for rent, including one- and two-bedroom units. The development will include 5,000 square feet of commercial space at the front of the property. Residents can delight in a range of amenities, including a clubhouse, fitness center, business hub, pool, dog park, amenity lawn and for-rent detached garages. Gallatin broke ground in February, with the first units expected to be delivered by Spring 2026.
Ben Hill is a 236-unit community in southwest Atlanta, featuring a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. The multifamily community is ideally located near Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Georgia’s largest employer, as well as major industrial corridors, including the Fulton Industrial Corridor and the I-85 South industrial corridor. Amenities will include a clubroom, coworking space, day offices, a fitness center, a pool and a dog park, enhancing the living experience. The development broke ground in January and is slated for completion in August 2026.
Wood Partners’ attainable communities are built with upscale finishes such as granite countertops and stainless steel appliances and top-of-the-line amenities. The developer saves on costs by selecting well-located suburban sites rather than more expensive urban locations, executing an efficient and consistent design and embracing minimal, yet well-done, landscaping. These savings allow for a lower price point for the renter. Last year, Wood Partners introduced multiple attainable housing communities, including Union City in Atlanta, Conner Park in Tampa, Mint Hill in Charlotte, North Carolina and Rayzor Ranch in Dallas.
