BOSTON— West Shore, an integrated real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition and operation of high-quality multifamily properties, announced two major acquisitions that mark a milestone in its continued national expansion.
The company has acquired Palm Beach Gardens Apartments in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, and Ironwood Apartments in North Augusta, South Carolina — bringing West Shore’s total portfolio to more than 18,500 owned and operated units across the southeastern and southwestern United States.
The twin transactions strengthen West Shore’s presence in key growth markets while underscoring the company’s disciplined, entrepreneurial approach to real estate investment and management.
“Our continued investment in the Southeast, highlighted by the acquisitions of Ironwood and Palm Beach Gardens Apartments, marks a significant milestone in West Shore’s sustained and impactful growth,” said Lee Rosenthal, President of West Shore. “We now own and operate more than 18,500 units nationwide, a testament to our strategy of focusing on high-quality, high-demand assets in thriving markets.”
Palm Beach Gardens Apartments: Expanding in Florida’s Booming Market
The acquisition of Palm Beach Gardens Apartments, a 542-unit community, marks West Shore’s 18th acquisition in Florida, bringing its holdings in the state to 5,852 multifamily units.
Located at 4120 Union Square Blvd, at the intersection of PGA Boulevard and North Military Trail, the community offers seamless access to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, connecting residents to nearby cities, airports, and beaches. The property features spacious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with upscale finishes and a wide range of amenities — including a resort-style pool, 24-hour fitness center, putting green, and half-court basketball court.
“With the acquisition of Palm Beach Gardens Apartments, West Shore continues to build on our strategic footprint across the southeastern and southwestern United States,” Rosenthal added. “We remain focused on compelling investments like this one that strengthen our portfolio in high-growth, high-demand markets.”
Centrally located near premier retail and dining destinations such as The Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and PGA Boulevard’s restaurant corridor, the property exemplifies West Shore’s focus on communities that combine quality living with convenience and lifestyle.
“Palm Beach Gardens Apartments combines modern living with a prime location that promotes an active and convenient lifestyle,” said Steven P. Rosenthal, Chairman of West Shore. “Florida continues to be one of the country’s strongest multifamily markets, and we’re pleased with this acquisition that reflects our ongoing commitment to high-quality assets and strategic growth.”
Ironwood Apartments: Strengthening the Southeast Portfolio
Further north, West Shore’s acquisition of Ironwood Apartments in North Augusta, South Carolina, adds another high-quality property to its growing Southeastern portfolio.
Ironwood features studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments with modern finishes such as granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wood-style flooring. Residents enjoy amenities including 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 offers easy access to outdoor recreation and downtown North Augusta’s shops and restaurants, with major routes like U.S. 25 providing 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 acquisitions of Palm Beach Gardens and Ironwood Apartments represent a major step forward for West Shore, reinforcing the company’s position as one of the nation’s leading private multifamily investment firms.
With a portfolio now exceeding 18,500 units, West Shore continues to focus on strategic acquisitions, long-term value creation, and operational excellence across some of the fastest-growing markets in the United States.
