Texas Infrastructure Program Secures Major Developments
Texas Infrastructure Program Achieves Key Finance Deals
In a remarkable achievement for community development, the Texas Infrastructure Program (TIP) has successfully closed five significant financial transactions over the past three months. This initiative works closely with developers to optimize their future Municipal Utility District (MUD) reimbursements, providing them with essential non-recourse financing to support the construction of vital public infrastructure projects. With ten successful closings already this year, TIP is making strides in advancing infrastructure improvement in various communities.
The Experienced Team Behind TIP
Michael Libera, Managing Director at SAMCO Capital Markets, emphasized the vast experience of the TIP team, stating, "The TIP team is the most experienced in the state of Texas, having successfully completed several transactions in every major metropolitan area. This latest round of financings not only showcases our efficient process but also highlights our collaborative efforts with clients to achieve their unique project-specific objectives and timelines."
Highlights of Recent Financing Initiatives
The five recent project financing successes include the completed pooled TIP transaction involving the Briarwood and Park Place developments. Located in the City of Elgin, Briarwood spans 205 acres and is designed for over 900 homes, accompanied by 6 acres of commercial space, 33 acres of parks, and a lakefront amenity center. The Park Place project covers 76 acres and will feature 234 townhomes and approximately 300 multi-family units complementing a 37-acre park and an 18-hole disc golf course, with the total funding for this initiative amounting to $17.5 million.
Expanding Housing Options
Another notable project is Northspur, situated east of Dallas in Terrell. This expansive 700-acre development will provide housing for more than 1,500 families, alongside an amenity center and a large nature preserve. Commercial and industrial developments will also take up 300 acres of this property, backed by a $29 million financing effort in partnership with Starwood Land.
Innovative Projects in Development
Sterling Traditions, a planned residential community located northeast of Houston, will occupy 475 acres and is projected to include over 1,800 homes, complete with amenity centers featuring community pools and pickleball courts. This $37.7 million financing, in collaboration with Sterling Traditions LLC, reflects TIP's determination to pioneer early-stage developmental financing in Texas.
Campo Del Sol, based in El Paso, marks a historic financing initiative as the first-ever MUD receivable project in that region. This ambitious $31.9 million plan will unfold over nearly 3,000 acres and aims to accommodate 7,000 homes along with multifamily and commercial spaces. The initial four phases will consist of over 2,000 homes, a sizeable amenity area, and a lazy river. This project has been secured in conjunction with Scarborough Lane Development.
Future Growth with Milo Farms
Milo Farms, a project located southwest of Houston near Needville, is set to develop a 413-acre area, intending to create over 1,200 homes, two amenity centers, parks, and commercial infrastructure. A funding of $30.2 million has been achieved through a partnership with Rooted Development, further emphasizing TIP’s commitment to transformative project financing.
Commitment to Texas Communities
Mike Ryan, Managing Director at Piper Sandler, expressed pride in TIP's positive influence across Texas: "It's a new source of capital aimed at assisting developers and homebuilders in satisfying the rising demand for housing in our state." The recent financial closings underscore TIP's ongoing innovation tailored to meet the demands of developers and improve livability for Texans.
Notably, TIP recently concluded a $196 million transaction with Starwood Land, marking a pioneering refinancing effort and establishing the largest Municipal Utility District (MUD) receivable transaction ever completed.
Significant Infrastructure Advancements
Since its establishment, TIP has distinguished itself by completing the highest number of MUD receivable transactions statewide, collaborating with over 40 communities that collectively support over 70,000 homes. These efforts have raised more than $1.2 billion to enhance Texas' infrastructure. This funding directly connects to the need for affordable housing and sustainable growth within communities.
