KNOXVILLE, TN – MZ Capital Partners, expanding its Knoxville Tennessee asset footprint, has announced the purchase of the Residences at Devanshire, an 87 single family home rental community.

MZ Capital Partners has acquired British Woods Apartments and Townhomes, a 10-acre full-amenity luxury community consisting of 17 two-story garden-style and Townhome buildings with a total of 130 units in the Knoxville, TN suburb of Oak Ridge. MZ plans to fully renovate British Woods Apartments and Townhomes over the next two years, including enhancements to common areas where they will add a new state of the art fitness center, a dog “bark park”, and outdoor recreational space.

Knoxville is one of the best rental real estate investment markets in the nation. Occupancy in the Knoxville market has ranged from 95% to 98% over the past five years.

Located in the West Knoxville sub-market, the 87 Single Family Homes, built in 2006, feature 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths with back porches or patios, attached garage parking, and private back yards with mountain range views.
