$59MM BFR DEVELOPMENT | HOUSTON, TX

Eyzenberg & Company arranged $25MM in joint venture equity for the development of a 190-unit build to rent community in a mix of ranch homes and two-story townhomes in Houston MSA, TX.

Challenges
The capital markets landscape was under pressure with elevated interest rates, cap rate expansion and rent growth tapering. Liquidity for joint venture equity overall had significantly diminished, in particular from domestic institutional capital sources that historically have an appetite for projects of this size and scope, leaving a void in the market.

Solutions
Eyzenberg & Company sourced an international equity partner that had a like-minded approach and market vision with the sponsor. The sponsor had several opportunities in their pipeline with this being the best fit geographically and total capitalization to establish the relationship. A new joint venture partnership was structured for this development with a view to replicate on subsequent opportunities.
