In southwest Miami, RHP completed Phase I of construction at its Cottage Grove Manufactured Home Community, adding 349 new home sites in a market that recently lost over 1,100 manufactured housing sites. The project targets cost-burdened families, with multi-section homes starting around $129,900 to offer ownership at price points below typical local single-family housing.
Cottage Grove is designed with resort-style amenities, including a pool, clubhouse, fitness and yoga rooms, trails, playgrounds, green space, and a gated entrance to compete with traditional multifamily rentals and older manufactured housing assets. A model home is slated to open in June, with initial home sales expected by mid-summer 2026, establishing a clear near-term monetization timeline.
The Miami community benefits from proximity to key transportation corridors such as Krome Avenue and Quail Roost Road, which connect residents to U.S.-1, regional expressways, and major employment centers. Over time, the asset could also gain from nearby large-scale developments, including the planned Southplace City Center and a proposed Dolphin Expressway extension, which may enhance connectivity and land values.
On the community engagement front, RHP continued to expand its school support initiative through AdoptAClassroom.org, aligning philanthropy with the needs of residents’ children. The company made a $10,000 donation to Afflerbach Elementary in Cheyenne, Wyoming, bringing total school contributions to $210,000 across 21 schools over five years.
RHP also contributed $10,000 to Big Tree Elementary in Hamburg, N.Y., marking its 22nd school adoption and lifting total classroom giving to $220,000 over roughly five and a half years. Both schools are Title I institutions serving students from nearby RHP-managed communities, directly linking corporate giving to educational outcomes for resident families.
CEO Ross Partrich positioned these donations as long-term investments in local talent pipelines and community stability, reinforcing the firm’s resident-focused positioning in the affordable housing segment. Together with disciplined expansion in a supply-constrained Miami market, this week’s developments support RHP’s strategy of pairing amenitized affordable housing with targeted community support, which may bolster its reputation, occupancy, and long-term asset performance.
