NexMetro Communities Deepens Commitment to Tampa Market as Supply Cycle Turns
LAND O’ LAKES, Fla. (August 6, 2026) — NexMetro Communities, the nation’s leading developer of cottage-style, build-to-rent (BTR) home neighborhoods, is opening its third Avilla Homes community this week in the greater Tampa market.
Avilla Silver Palm, a new 180-home luxury leased community in Land O’ Lakes, Florida, reinforces NexMetro’s strategic long-term commitment to Central Florida as the regional supply cycle begins to moderate.
Located at 11334 Zion Narrows Trail in Pasco County, Avilla Silver Palm sits on 26 acres and features the company’s signature collection of mostly detached, single-level homes with private fenced backyards and front porches. optional garages, and resort-style community amenities. First resident move-ins are scheduled for later this month.
“Opening Avilla Silver Palm is a meaningful milestone for our Florida platform,” said Jack Riddle, vice president of development for NexMetro’s Tampa Division. “The conventional apartment supply wave that pressured Pasco County in recent years is cresting, and the demand for a private, professionally managed, single-family rental experience remains as strong as ever.”
A Growing Greater Tampa Platform
Avilla Silver Palm joins two existing NexMetro communities in the broader Tampa Bay region: Avilla Suncoast in Odessa and Avilla Cypress Creek in Sun City Center. The three communities together reflect a geographic strategy spanning key growth corridors on both sides of Tampa, from Pasco County’s high-growth SR-52 corridor in the north to Hillsborough County’s southern suburbs.
NexMetro’s presence in the Tampa market continues to expand with an additional Avilla Homes community in development in Apollo Beach, with sitework expected to begin in late 2026.
“Greater Tampa has proven itself as one of the most durable BTR markets in the Sun Belt,” Riddle said, adding that the community’s differentiated offering appeals to diverse consumers from professional millennials, mid-life renters in transition, and baby boomers. “Our platform here is still growing, and the opening of Avilla Silver Palm underscores our belief in the long-range fundamentals of this region.”
