Capital Square<\/a>, one of the nation’s leading sponsors of tax-advantaged real estate investments and an active developer of multifamily communities, announced today the acquisition of\u00a0Ashford Townes, a 74-unit newly constructed build-for-rent townhome community in the affluent\u00a0Raleigh\u00a0suburb of\u00a0Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. The community was acquired on behalf of CS1031 Ashford Townes BFR Housing, DST, which seeks to raise\u00a0$13.7 million\u00a0in equity from accredited investors and has a minimum investment requirement of\u00a0$50,000.<\/p>\n Capital Square formed the Private Equity Group managed by experienced real estate executives,\u00a0Dave Platter\u00a0and\u00a0Jon Trott, as managing directors and co-heads, to profit from opportunities in the housing market, including a dedicated build-for-rent (“BFR”) strategy in high growth sunbelt markets. This represents Capital Square’s third BFR offering on platform to date.<\/p>\n “With a housing shortage of over four million units, Capital Square believes build-for-rent (BFR) housing solutions provide the U.S. with a vital supply of new housing stock,” said\u00a0Louis Rogers, founder and chief executive officer. “These professionally managed and highly amenitized communities are desirable for providing the benefits of single-family living without the associated costs of ownership. Our BFR strategy is complementary with the existing multifamily business — Capital Square will continue to thoughtfully acquire and develop multifamily communities throughout the Southeast and\u00a0Texas\u00a0in the years to come.”<\/p>\n Located at 604 Oakbrook Pass Way, construction of\u00a0Ashford Townes\u00a0was completed in\u00a0February 2022. Developed by D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder by volume, the modern units boast three-bedroom, open floorplans averaging 1,693 square feet with integrated smart-home technology, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, high vaulted ceilings, built-in window blinds, spacious walk-in closets, full size washer-dryers, attached one-car garages, private patios and outdoor storage. A community dog park is additionally contemplated for development.<\/p>\n Ashford Townes\u00a0is one of just five single-family or townhome purpose-built rental communities of institutional quality currently available within the\u00a0Greater Raleigh\u00a0area. The property is approximately 30 minutes south of\u00a0Research Triangle Park, the largest research park in the U.S. and a premier global innovation center. Its 7,000 acres encompass the\u00a0Raleigh-Durham-Cary\u00a0combined statistical area and boasts a diverse, innovation-based economy anchored by world-class universities and hundreds of companies, including science and technology firms, government agencies, academic institutions, startups and nonprofits.1<\/sup><\/p>\n The property offers residents efficient commutes to over 130,000 jobs and a five-minute drive to local retailers, restaurants, breweries, fitness centers and top performing schools. Resident area household incomes average\u00a0$106,500, with leading employers including the\u00a0University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Novartis, IQVIA, JLL and Duke Energy. The\u00a0Fuquay-Varina\u00a0submarket experienced approximately 13% rent growth in 2022 while the\u00a0Raleigh-Durham\u00a0area experienced rent growth of approximately 15%. Rents are forecasted to grow an average of 3.5% each year for the next five years in the\u00a0Fuquay-Varina\u00a0submarket and 3.75% in\u00a0Raleigh-Durham.2<\/sup><\/p>\n “The Research Triangle region welcomed more than 900,000 new residents between 2000 and 2017,3<\/sup>\u00a0and a declining inventory of high-quality land sites, competition from multifamily developers and supply chain disruptions have resulted in limited deliveries of rental communities to the region,” said Whitson Huffman, co-chief executive officer. “Ashford Townes\u00a0offers a convenient, reliable and spacious housing option amidst the least affordable single-family for-sale market that the\u00a0Raleigh\u00a0area has experienced in decades.”<\/p>\n Since its founding in 2012, Capital Square has acquired 170 real estate assets for over 6,000 investors seeking quality replacement properties that qualify for tax deferral under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and other investors seeking stable cash flow and capital appreciation.<\/p>\n Sources:<\/span> About Capital Square Disclaimer: Securities offered through WealthForge Securities, LLC, Member FINRA\/SIPC.
