LandSouth named one of nation’s top apartment builders by National Multifamily Housing Council

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- LandSouth Construction, a Jacksonville, Fla. based general contractor specializing in multifamily, senior housing and mixed use development, has made the prestigious National Multifamily Housing Council’s (NMHC) 2016 ranking of the nation’s largest apartment contractors at No. 16.

Record renter demand continues to fuel apartment industry growth, as evidenced in NMHC’s just released Top 50, the authoritative ranking of the country’s largest apartment owners, managers, developers and contractors. 

Last year LandSouth was No. 25. General contractors are ranked based on the number of units started in 2015.

“It is an honor to be named the nation’s 16th largest apartment contractor. This ranking is another validation of the dedication and expertise of our team,” said LandSouth President/CEO James Pyle. “Our ability to effectively meet the needs of owners and developers has put LandSouth in this coveted position.”

LandSouth Construction is currently working on apartments and mixed-use developments throughout the Southeast including Lawrenceville, Ga., Boynton Beach, Daytona Beach, Delray Beach, Sanford, Jacksonville, Davenport, Casselberry, Odessa, Lakeland and Orlando Fla., Mt. Pleasant, S.C. and senior housing in Bonita Springs, Fla.

“For us, this recognition represents our mission to ensure our clients are highly successful with their developments and communities,” said LandSouth’s Senior Vice President of Development Joe Passkiewicz. “Demand for apartment housing has been at an all-time high over the last several years, especially in our Southeastern markets where the development pipeline continues to grow.”

NMHC partners with Kingsley Associates, a leading real estate research and consulting firm for the NMHC 50’s research and analysis. Apartment contractors are invited to answer a survey questionnaire that asks about their prior year activities.
