Avenida Partners

What Avenida Partners does

Avenida Partners, LLC is a privately held U.S. real estate development firm headquartered in Newport Beach, California with a secondary office in Nashville, Tennessee. Founded in 2008, the company specializes in developing, operating, and selectively divesting market-rate rental apartment communities for active adults aged 55 and better. Its portfolio spans seven states (California, Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas, and previously Ohio) and includes 10 or more communities with unit counts ranging from 138 to 230 apartments per property, occasionally supplemented by villa formats. Community examples include Avenida Watermarq at Germantown (TN), Avenida Naperville (IL), Avenida Palm Desert (CA), Album Quail Springs (OK), Album Indian Lake (TN), Avenida at Centerra (CO), Avenida Carrollton (TX), Avenida Folsom (CA), and the forthcoming Avenida Briargate (CO).

The company operates under the AvenidaLife lifestyle brand, which combines stylish apartment homes with resort-style amenities, included services bundled into monthly rent, and the proprietary 5 to Thrive resident enrichment program — a trademarked wellness framework reported to achieve 80-90%+ monthly resident participation versus a 55% industry benchmark. The firm's go-to-market combines direct leasing at on-site community offices with individual community websites supporting virtual tours and online applications, supplemented by LinkedIn presence, Google remarketing, and SAGE Awards recognition for industry positioning.

Avenida's revenue mechanics are hybrid: primary recurring income comes from monthly market-rate apartment rents paid by individual residents, supplemented by episodic gains from the sale of stabilized communities (e.g., Avenida Lakewood, Avenida Cool Springs, Tapestry at Woodland Hills have been divested). Capital for development is sourced from institutional investment partners including The Carlyle Group, CalPERS, iSTAR, Passco Companies, and Township Capital, with Avenida co-investing alongside these partners. The firm is led by co-founder and Managing Partner Robert D. May (35+ years industry experience), Partner and CFO Peter Belcher, and COO Kimberly Hynek, supported by specialized leadership in construction, design, community launch, accounting, and resident enrichment.
