Phillip Boatwright joined The NRP Group in 2014 as a Regional Property Manager for market rate properties and after five years was named Executive Vice President.

In this role, he is responsible for all operations of the property management company, reporting directly to the President of NRP Property Management. Boatwright manages over 140 properties representing nearly 20,000 units of affordable and market rate communities in a portfolio valued at over $1.5 billion. He and his team have executed more than 35 highly successful lease-ups in the past five years and helped deliver nearly $1.5 billion in asset dispositions. The speed and rent growth of Boatwright’s lease-ups as well as his bottom-line performance for the NRP Property Management team are consistently top tier in the multifamily market.

Boatwright grows high performance teams through a unique combination of management skills and capabilities: a people-first orientation that starts with kindness and respect for his team members and residents; an intense focus on detailed preparation, planning and team alignment on goals; a mindset of “what’s possible,” of dreaming big and finding creative ways to work as a team to turn dreams into reality; and a culture of individualized growth in which each team member achieves their personal and professional best by fully developing their unique qualities and capabilities.

Because of his electric leadership style and track record, Boatwright is a sought-after speaker at industry conferences, having spoken recently at the NMHC OpTech Conference and the annual “Vision” conference for Grace Hill training services. He is also regularly quoted in industry publications including Multi-Housing News, National Apartment Association News, Multifamily Executive and Realtor Magazine.

Before joining NRP, Boatwright worked with MAA/Colonial Properties for 11 years where he enjoyed roles of increasing responsibility in property management. He holds a Bachelor of Science in residential sciences from Florida State University and a MBA from the Jesse H. Jones School of Business at Texas Southern University. He resides with his wife and three young children in Tampa, Florida.
