The only Florida contractors the National Multifamily Housing Council has named to its list of 25 top general apartment contractors are based in Jacksonville. Summit Contracting Group was chosen number four having completed 4,853 apartment units built in 2015. LandSouth Construction placed 16th with 2,252 units constructed in 2015. Both companies improved on their 2014 results, when Summit completed 2,075 and LandSouth handed over 866. Topping the list was Phoenix, Az-based Alliance Residential Community with 7,765 apartment units built in 2015.
“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,” said LandSouth’s Senior Vice President of Development Joe Passkiewicz.
