OSTON— West Shore, a private real‑estate investment firm that acquires and manages high‑quality multifamily properties, has expanded its national footprint with two new purchases. The company now owns and operates over 18,500 units across the Southeast and Southwest after adding Palm Beach Gardens Apartments in Florida and Ironwood Apartments in North Augusta, South Carolina.
The acquisitions bring West Shore’s portfolio to more than 18,500 units nationwide, underscoring its disciplined, entrepreneurial approach to growth in high‑demand markets. “These deals mark a significant milestone in our sustained expansion,” said Lee Rosenthal, President. “We now own and operate more than 18,500 units, a testament to our focus on quality assets in thriving markets.”
**Palm Beach Gardens Apartments – Florida**
West Shore’s 18th Florida acquisition, the 542‑unit Palm Beach Gardens Apartments, adds to the firm’s 5,852 units in the state. Located at 4120 Union Square Blvd, the complex sits at the intersection of PGA Boulevard and North Military Trail, offering easy access to I‑95, the Florida Turnpike, and nearby airports and beaches. The community features one‑, two‑, and three‑bedroom units with upscale finishes and amenities such as a resort‑style pool, 24‑hour fitness center, putting green, and half‑court basketball court.
“The purchase strengthens our strategic presence in the Southeast and Southwest,” Rosenthal added. “We remain committed to investments that enhance our portfolio in high‑growth, high‑demand markets.”
The property’s proximity to The Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and PGA Boulevard’s dining corridor exemplifies West Shore’s focus on locations that blend quality living with convenience and lifestyle. Steven P. Rosenthal, Chairman, noted, “Palm Beach Gardens Apartments combines modern living with a prime location that promotes an active and convenient lifestyle. Florida remains one of the strongest multifamily markets in the country, and this acquisition reflects our ongoing commitment to high‑quality assets and strategic growth.”
**Ironwood Apartments – South Carolina**
West Shore’s purchase of Ironwood Apartments in North Augusta adds another high‑quality property to its growing Southeast portfolio. The complex offers studio, one‑, two‑, and three‑bedroom units with granite countertops, stainless‑steel appliances, and wood‑style flooring. Residents enjoy a resort‑style saltwater pool, 24‑hour fitness center, outdoor fireplace, and dog wash station.
Located near SRP Park and the North Augusta Greenway, Ironwood provides easy access to outdoor recreation and downtown North Augusta’s shops and restaurants, with U.S. 25 offering quick connections to surrounding areas.
“Ironwood Apartments exemplifies the high‑quality properties that define our portfolio,” said Steven P. Rosenthal. “Surpassing 18,500 units highlights the success of our disciplined growth strategy, which continues to deliver strong returns for our investors.”
Together, the Palm Beach Gardens and Ironwood acquisitions represent a major step forward for West Shore, reinforcing its position as one of the nation’s leading private multifamily investment firms. With a portfolio now exceeding 18,500 units, West Shore remains focused on strategic acquisitions, long‑term value creation, and operational excellence in some of the fastest‑growing markets in the United States.
