Newmark announces the sale of The Blair at Bitters and The Henry B, a 388-unit value-add multifamily portfolio. Located in north central San Antonio near the South Texas Medical Center (STMC) and USAA headquarters, the properties sold for an undisclosed price and both were 97 percent occupied at the time of sale. Additionally, Newmark previously sold the properties in both 2018 and 2012.
Newmark Managing Director Matt Michelson represented the seller, Wildhorn Capital, an Austin-based real estate investment firm targeting value-add multifamily assets in central Texas markets. The Blair at Bitters and The Henry B traded off-market to Kanesville Capital, a Dallas-based private equity investment firm that specializes in acquiring and managing value-add and core-plus commercial real estate. This transaction represents Kanesville Capital’s second acquisition in San Antonio. This transaction has increased Kanesville Capital’s presence in the San Antonio multifamily market as they “look to continue expansion throughout Texas, Florida, and the south-central region of the U.S.,” said Cody Busa, a Principal of Kanesville Capital.
“The quality of the assets coupled with value-add potential in an ideal central location is a rare combination,” said Michelson. “The portfolio was particularly appealing to a range of investors looking to benefit from the favorable market conditions in San Antonio and the continuing strength of multifamily product.”
The San Antonio Economic Development Foundation (SAEDF) recently unveiled its $55 billion economic impact plan that aims to create 140,000 jobs in the San Antonio metro by 2025. This commitment is being made by public and private sector agencies, employers and businesses, alike. In April 2021, the SAEDF reported that jobs saw an annualized increase of 7.1 percent as of the first quarter of 2021 and as of March 2021, 76.6 percent of jobs lost from March-April 2020 have been recovered, indicating a strong economic rebound from pandemic-related disruptions.
