INDIANAPOLIS (November 3, 2026) – The Annex Group®, a leading impact housing developer that creates affordable, workforce and purpose-built student housing communities, recently hosted a successful Resident Appreciation Week at Victory Park, a student housing community it developed and operates in partnership with the University of Memphis.
Held October 19-23, Resident Appreciation Week featured a variety of events to celebrate residents and foster community engagement. Throughout the week, residents had opportunities to connect with one another, enjoy activities, and participate in exclusive giveaways and events.
Resident Appreciation Week began with a juice bar and yoga session in partnership with the University of Memphis Housing & Residence Life, and a community movie night and cookout, providing residents with a chance to relax and enjoy an evening with one another. On Wednesday, residents received keepsake giveaways with Victory Park-branded hats and lanyard, with a Memphis Softball game to follow. Residents also enjoyed attendance at a VIP tailgate event ahead of a University of Memphis football game, where they joined fellow Tigers fans in the excitement surrounding ESPN’s live “SportsCenter on Campus” broadcast from Tiger Lane.
"In welcoming students to Victory Park, we’re excited to provide housing that supports not only their academic success but also helps them build connections and create a community of their own,” said Jason Taylor, Managing Partner of Public-Private Partnerships for The Annex Group. "Resident Appreciation Week gave us the opportunity to bring residents together and further strengthen the sense of belonging that makes Victory Park such a special place to live.”
Victory Park offers students modern housing, convenient access to campus and amenities designed to support both academic success and an active lifestyle. The community features study spaces, social spaces and outdoor living areas, as well as a grab-and-go dining option. With today’s college students in mind, Resident Appreciation Week reflects The Annex Group's ongoing commitment to creating vibrant communities where residents can live, connect, and thrive.
"Events like Resident Appreciation Week help foster a sense of belonging that turns a housing community into a home away from home,” said Matt Zetzl, Development Manager of Public- Private Partnerships for The Annex Group. “We know that the best resident experiences are built through intentionality, and Resident Appreciation Week was a fun way to bring that to life.”
Victory Park is one of four communities developed by The Annex Group in Tennessee. Most recently, Union at Smoky Mountain, an affordable housing community in Knoxville, is scheduled to close in November 2026. The Annex of Memphis, another purpose-built student housing community, opened in 2021. Womack Commons, a student housing community developed in partnership with Middle Tennessee State University, is currently under construction in Murfreesboro.
