The future is calling BTR (build to rent)
Build-to-rent Florida
Build-to-Rent (BTR) properties are exploding across Florida—and Tampa Bay is leading the charge. As someone who has worked with BTR projects and property management, I’ve seen how these purpose-built rental communities can deliver excellent returns for investors.
BTR is especially popular in Tampa suburbs like Wesley Chapel, Riverview, and Brandon. These communities offer renters the feel of a single-family home with the perks of a professionally managed neighborhood. According to John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Tampa is in the top 5 U.S. markets for BTR growth in 2025.
With rising home prices and tighter credit, more families are renting by choice. For investors, BTR projects provide stable cash flow and lower turnover. And for developers, demand remains strong. If you’re looking to enter the investment game or expand your portfolio, BTR in Tampa Bay should be on your radar.
