Over the last 3 years, my Casto partners and I have been acquiring prime lots on and off the beach and bringing them to life through new luxury builds. Today, our rental collection includes 30+ standout homes across Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Clearwater, with more underway. I’ll start highlighting the collection more often. Welcome to Ocean Breeze, one of our luxury 5-bedroom, 4,000 S.F. escapes on Lido Key with a resort-style heated saltwater pool and spa, sun shelf, waterslide, outdoor chef’s kitchen, and a rooftop deck made for sunrise coffees and sunset cocktails with Gulf and Sarasota skyline views. vuniquevacations.com

🏗️🏡 The Benjamin II Apartments Break Ground in Franklinton Construction is officially underway on Benjamin II Apartments, a four-story, 75-unit residential development at 511 W. Town St. in Franklinton. The project is a joint venture between @rockypointpartners and @bensonllc , and is located directly across from the original Benjamin Apartments. The original Benjamin Apartments were taken over and significantly improved by Benson Capital in 2024, helping stabilize and elevate the property and setting the stage for the second phase now under construction. "The Benjamin builds on the momentum we’re seeing in Franklinton. The neighborhood has become one of Columbus’ most creative and energetic communities, and we’re excited to contribute new housing and retail that helps support that growth. Columbus is experiencing a transformational decade and Franklinton is right at the center of it" said Alex Marsh of Rocky Point Partners Benjamin II will include ground-floor commercial space anchored by a public fitness operator, adding street-level energy near Franklinton’s rapidly growing Walnut Street arts and dining corridor. On site amenities include a resort style pool, 24/7 fitness center, infrared sauna, cold plunge and rooftop deck. The project replaces former industrial buildings and continues the neighborhood’s momentum as one of Columbus’ most active redevelopment zones. 📸 Pictured left to right: Alex Marsh, Tom OBrien, and Frank Benson IV

Here’s a peek at one of our custom bifocal seating designs at The Benjamin Apartments [Phase II], under construction in the Franklinton neighborhood. Precision joinery, layered materials, and playful geometry that blurs the line between art and architecture.

Today we acquired another large Class A apartment complex in the highly desirable Dublin, OH school district, well below replacement cost, in partnership with Oldtown Capital. The property sits directly across the street from two grocery stores, local restaurants, and a Starbucks. Large floorplans averaging 890 s.f., 10-foot ceilings, detached garages, and private balconies in every unit give us great bones to work with as we begin operations. From the moment we take over, residents will feel the change in ownership through tangible upgrades, meticulous upkeep, and a genuinely service-driven experience. Our playbook here is focused and straight forward including targeted in-unit luxury upgrades, total overhaul of the leasing office, refreshed exterior aesthetics and amenities, and a tight operating framework supported by a modern tech stack and best in class property management. We use the complexities of an end-of-year closing as fuel, and we’re grateful to add this community to our growing footprint across Central Ohio. #atBC @bensonllc

Earlier this year we acquired this Downtown Columbus apartment building @highandcherry , and set out to make it healthier, safer, and more functional for our residents. Here’s what’s new so far: • Dry sauna for recovery and stress relief • Barista-style espresso & coffee bar in the lobby • Custom closet organizers in every residence • New kitchen backsplashes for a elevated finish • Dedicated access-controlled bicycle storage area with custom high-density racks and tune-up station • Amenity deck reimagined with all-new outdoor furnishings and lush plantings for year-round greenery • Enhanced security property-wide (upgraded access control, lighting, and camera coverage) • Custom-built LED blade signage featuring our 🍒cherry icon to enhance street presence and wayfinding • Contract services optimization, vendor consolidation, and portfolio-rate negotiations; quarterly audits prevent scope creep, lower per-door OpEx, and elevate service levels • Turn-time compression through standardizing make-ready scopes, pre-ordered materials, and scheduled vendors cut days vacant and concessions Our focus from day one has been delivering tangible value to residents immediately upon takeover and elevating a resident-first, service-oriented experience. #atBC

I’m not with the ra-ra

You’ve always been in my corner — through every round. Amazing to walk with you today through one of my larger renovation projects underway and listen to all of your wisdom and no-nonsense advice continue to ring true. All of our Home Depot trips growing up are paying off.

On a mission.

Here’s a sneak peek of Park Monroe in Columbus that I am proud to have helped fund and bring to life. The project recently achieved a major milestone with occupancy taking place in part of the building. Residential units, amenity spaces, and the parking garage are nearing completion, with furnishings and fitness equipment already in place. The pool deck is also taking shape just in time for the warmer months ahead.
