Hamilton Zanze Sponsors the Acquisition of Vital at Springbrook

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hamilton Zanze, a leading San Francisco-based multifamily real estate investment firm, announced today that it has sponsored the purchase of Vital at Springbrook, a 300-unit, Class A garden-style community in Alcoa, Tennessee, within the Knoxville metro area. The acquisition closed Oct 27.

Mission Rock Residential, an affiliate of Hamilton Zanze, has assumed management of the community, which sits on 9.75 acres within Springbrook Farms, a master-planned, mixed-use development in the Maryville-Alcoa submarket of Blount County. Vital at Springbrook will be operated alongside Hamilton Zanze’s 14 other Tennessee communities, totaling 3,451 units, sharing regional vendors and staff with the company’s Chattanooga and Nashville properties.

“Vital at Springbrook marks our first investment in the Knoxville MSA, a market we’ve been watching closely as we’ve grown our Tennessee portfolio,” said David Nelson, president and chief investment officer at Hamilton Zanze. “Alcoa offers a deep employment base, highly rated schools and limited new supply, and the continued build-out of the surrounding master-planned community is bringing new retail and employment directly to the property’s doorstep. With 14 other communities already across Nashville, Clarksville and Chattanooga, Knoxville is a natural next step, and we look forward to growing our presence here.”

Situated at 1607 Centennial Park Blvd., Vital at Springbrook offers studio, one- and two-bedroom homes across 25 floor plans, ranging from 570 to 1,375 square feet and averaging 846 square feet. Completed in 2024, the property is the only elevator-served community with air-conditioned corridors in the Maryville/Alcoa submarket.

Homes feature granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, white Shaker-style cabinetry, kitchen islands, wood-style plank flooring, full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets and private balconies or patios. Residents enjoy a resort-style pool with cabanas and grilling stations, an 8,700-square-foot clubhouse with a lounge, coffee bar and billiards, a fitness center, a golf simulator, and dog and car wash stations.

Beyond the property, Alcoa and Maryville serve as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States, with Fort Loudoun Lake, the Maryville-Alcoa Greenway and downtown Knoxville's Market Square district all close by.

The transaction represents Hamilton Zanze’s fourth sponsored acquisition of 2026.
