New Partnership to Drive Multifamily Growth Across Southeast
Pine Grove Communities and Gallery Residential Team Up
Pine Grove Communities and Gallery Residential are thrilled to unveil a strategic partnership focused on acquiring and enhancing value-add multifamily properties in key Southeastern markets. This alliance combines their strengths into a powerful platform designed to optimize residential asset value.
Investment Focus: $500 Million Target
The two firms have successfully initiated their first venture, securing capital to pursue $500 million in planned investments moving forward. "This collaboration merges complementary expertise and values," shared William Stark and Scott Denbow, Co-Founders of Pine Grove Communities. "Our combined development and investment knowledge with top-notch property management positions us to achieve operational excellence and cultivate vibrant communities."
Market Opportunities Amidst Construction Declines
Today's market presents unique chances for residential investments as apartment construction hits its lowest level in decades. The Southeast is experiencing significant population and job growth, which maintains a strong rental demand. However, the ongoing shortfall in attainable housing is expected to worsen due to escalating construction costs, limited government approvals, labor shortages, and potential policy changes. In this context, upcoming debt maturities and market instability create opportunities for acquiring distinctive assets at advantageous prices.
Targeting Affluent Submarkets
The partnership aims to identify properties in affluent areas characterized by valuable lifestyle, physical, and demographic qualities. These chosen communities will benefit from strategic enhancements and attentive hospitality, reinforcing their long-term appeal. The endeavor actively seeks opportunities in burgeoning markets, such as Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte, and Raleigh, driven by an extensive pipeline of potential deals.
Gallery Residential’s Approach to Community Development
Tracy Bowers, Managing Partner at Gallery Residential, emphasizes the company's ethos: "We believe in creating a fulfilling living experience, which reflects in our operations. This partnership allows us to expand our commitment to investing in talent, technology, and innovative community designs that tap into the potential of our locations. Our resident-focused philosophy isn’t just about managing properties; it's about crafting environments that enrich lives and nurture connections, making residents feel genuinely at home."
Rapid Growth of Both Firms
Despite their low-profile operations, both Pine Grove and Gallery Residential have witnessed impressive growth. Over the past four years, Pine Grove has emerged as a prominent developer in the build-to-rent sector, delivering over 1,200 homes. Similarly, Gallery has developed a robust management platform that oversees around 20,000 units across the Sunbelt in just three years.
Initial Property Highlights: Bass Lofts
The partnership’s inaugural investment, Bass Lofts in Little Five Points, Atlanta, exemplifies its strategic vision: a distinctive, lifestyle-focused community set on a picturesque 7-acre site with considerable potential for enhancement.
