Rare Off-Market Deals
We are very active sourcing on- and off-market deals. Based on our established network and relationships, we feel strongly that our pipeline will offer the Fund and investors unique deal selection on assets not available to the mass market.
Exceptional Team Expertise
The principals of the Fund have a proven track record of sourcing and developing unique opportunities, have a fully appointed support team, decades of experience, and an inhouse builder and development team which will streamline the construction process, reducing costs, and reinforcing high quality standards.
Proven Development Strategy
Taking projects from raw land to entitlements and seeing them through the building process is part of our core expertise. Carefully selecting prime locations, conducting thorough market research, and designing communities that align to local rental market demands by creating attractive amenities, sustainable features, and fostering a sense of community.
Investments in High Growth Assets
Primarily investing in build-to-rent communities. The build-to-rent market is one of the fastest growing segments in the industry right now due to the under supply of single-family rental homes available and rising mortgage rates.
