$26,000,000 Total Construction, LP Equity, & Co-GP Platform Advisory, SFR for Rent; Fort Meyers, Florida

Transaction Description:

As the leader in the rapidly emerging Single Family for Rent (SFR for Rent) and Build-to-Rent (BTR) multifamily asset classes, George Smith Partners worked with our client to structure an optimal structure for the development of the 130-unit project located in Fort Meyers, FL. Throughout the year-long engagement, GSP and the Sponsorship secured various investment structures including multiple Co-GP, LP, Pref, and Senior construction facilities, ultimately structuring a high leverage 70% recourse loan and a full equity structure of 80% LP + 20% Co-GP.

With the intention of securing platform participants, the chosen structure will allow for a rapid expansion of the portfolio on a favorable deal by deal basis. The Sponsorship plans to scale with their partners to an additional 600 units in the next 12 months to meet the rapidly growing need for housing across Florida. The platform investment will also provide the opportunity to grow into other high growth markets across the south and east coasts.
