North Charleston apartment community sells to Texas based investment firm

CHARLOTTE, Jan. 20, 2026 –  JLL Capital Markets announced today that it has arranged the successful sale and acquisition financing of Link Apartments^® Mixson, a 358-unit Class A multifamily community in North Charleston, South Carolina.

JLL represented the seller, Grubb Properties, to procure the buyer, Comunidad Realty Partners. JLL also secured financing through Freddie Mac. The loan will be serviced by JLL Real Estate Capital, LLC, a Freddie Mac Optigo Lender.

Link Apartments^® Mixson, located at 4501 Mixson Ave. in North Charleston's Park Circle submarket, offers easy access to Interstate 26 and Highway 526, while being approximately 1.5 miles from major employment hubs throughout the Charleston metropolitan area. The community sits in a walkable neighborhood near dining, entertainment and recreational amenities that appeal to residents seeking urban conveniences in a suburban setting.

Charleston continues to be a thriving metro area with diverse economic pillars including aerospace, healthcare, higher education, military and tourism. The Park Circle submarket, in particular, has seen significant growth and investment in recent years, attracting young professionals and families with its blend of charm and accessibility.

Link Apartments^® Mixson, a Class A residential complex built in two phases, offers residents contemporary living with 358 units across 267,358 square feet of rentable space. Phase I was completed in 2014 with 268 units, while Phase II delivered 90 units in 2019. This modern apartment community features a mix of one- and two-bedroom units with high-end finishes and amenities including a resort-style saltwater pool, 24/7 fitness center, coworking spaces, dog park and community clubhouse with coffee bar.

JLL Capital Market’s Investment Sales and Advisory team representing the seller was led by Managing Directors John Gavigan and John Mikels, Senior Director Ben Bury and Associate Chase Monroe. JLL’s Debt team was spearheaded by Senior Managing Director Robert Wooten and Director Jackson Finch.

"The successful sale of Link Apartments Mixson underscores the continued strength of the Charleston multifamily market," said Gavigan. "This asset's strategic location in Park Circle combined with its value-add potential made it an attractive investment opportunity in today's market."

The Park Circle submarket benefits from constrained supply with no new developments under construction within a 3.5-mile radius, while population projections show 7.63% growth through 2029.
