29th Street Capital Acquires 438-Unit Limestone Apartments in West Houston, TX

Limestone Apartments, West Houston, TX

Houston, TX – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real estate operator, has acquired Limestone Apartments, a 1999 vintage, 438-unit multifamily community located in West Houston. 

29SC plans to implement a capital plan which will include Interior upgrades, new granite countertops, modern paint, black appliances, and new cabinets. Exterior renovations will focus on landscaping, signage and amenity improvements.

Doug Burt
“This is a newer, high-quality asset in a growing submarket,” said Doug Burt, Vice President of Acquisitions in Houston. “Limestone will benefit from the expected population growth of 9% within a five-mile radius over the next five years, and lack of new supply coming to the market.”

Houston’s Class A apartment market is now experiencing improved fundamentals after experiencing declining occupancies and increased concessions due to the development pipeline.

 The U.S. Census Bureau ranked the Houston metro area second in the U.S. for population growth in 2018. It leads the nation in employment growth.

“Houston is expected to receive its lowest number of new units in nearly a decade,” Burt added. “We feel that the market has finally leveled out allowing a clear runway over the next few years.” 

Shell Technology Center, Houston, TX
Limestone Apartments is close to the Shell Technology Center, which has approximately 2,000 scientists, technologists, engineers, consultants, sales and support personnel.

The property is about five miles south of the Houston Energy Corridor via Interstate 6. By 2030, the corridor is expected to reach 45.2 million square feet of office/mixed-use space.

This is 29th Street Capital’s second acquisition in the Houston area in the past six months and ninth in the past five years. Over the past 12 months, 29SC has also acquired 18 conventional multifamily assets throughout the U.S.  and continues to actively pursue additional opportunities. 

The transaction closed March 11. The sale price and seller were not disclosed.

EverWest Secures $63 Million for Refinancing of The Colonnade DFW Office Complex: Three-building, 1.07 million SF Texas Class A office asset enjoys 91.7 percent occupancy


  
The Colonnade located on 13 acres
along the Dallas North Tollway

  
ADDISON, TX – EverWest Real Estate Investors, together with Korea-based investment clients, has closed on a $63 million transaction that is part of the refinancing of The Colonnade, a 1,079,190-square-foot, three-building Class A office complex considered one of the premier developments along the Upper Tollway in the Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex.

Tom McCahill
EverWest Executive Vice President Tom McCahill, Managing Director Joe Chickey and Senior Associate for Structured Finance Zi Chong secured the five-year loan through UBS.

The property owner is Fortis Property Group. The Korea-based clients were advised by EverWest and Paramount Advisory, LLC.

“The Colonnade is a true trophy asset that has been meticulously owned and managed by an experienced institutional team,” said Chong.

“The capital improvements and leasing activity that has taken place here has established a strong leasing history, allowing The Colonnade to take full advantage of its premier location and area demographics.”

Joe Chickey
Built between 1983 and 1998 – with $32.5 million in renovations completed between 2015 and 2017 – The Colonnade totals 1,079,190 square feet with three Class A office towers, a three-story amenity-filled atrium and an eight-story parking garage.

The property also includes a variety of dining options, fitness center with locker rooms, retail store and conference center.

 It is LEED Certified, Energy Star rated and has earned multiple “Building of the Year” awards from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).

Since being acquired by Fortis in 2013, The Colonnade has remained in high occupancy with anchor tenants Hilton, United Surgical Partners, Zurich American Insurance, HQ Global Workplaces and Systemware.

Zi Chong
The Colonnade is located on 13 acres along the Dallas North Tollway, offering quick access to metro Dallas and Fort Worth. It is two blocks east of the Addison Transit Center, which will become a future station along the Cotton Belt Rail Line.

“With these collective advantages in place, it is not surprising that The Colonnade has consistently outperformed its neighboring Class A office complexes,” said McCahill. “We believe that trend will continue, and that the property will continue to hold its position as one of Dallas’ top business centers.”

EverWest launched its structured finance platform in 2013 under the direction of industry veterans McCahill and Chickey, with a focus on originating and managing mezzanine debt, preferred equity financing and B-notes for U.S. commercial properties and developments. 

EverWest continues to actively seek new investment opportunities in major markets across the U.S.
