Leadership Team
Project Trident
Description
The acquisition of 17 port-focused industrial assets, representing 5.2 million square feet, located across Houston, Jacksonville and Dallas.
Why it matters
Project Trident represents a high-quality portfolio of fully stabilized industrial assets located near major port and transportation infrastructure. The portfolio was assembled on an off-market basis, which led to an attractive discount-to-market pricing at entry. The portfolio is 98% occupied, with a well-diversified, national tenant base. The opportunity offers a 23% mark-to-market opportunity with near-term lease roll-over.
The HL advantage
Through our established relationship with the sponsor, we were granted early access to the process and co-underwrote the deal alongside the sponsor, receiving our full allocation ask at attractive terms.The bottom line
The portfolio benefits from broader industrial tailwinds and was sourced off-market below market pricing, with accretive financing. Project Trident exemplifies high-quality industrial assets in top U.S. port and transportation markets.
Project Downtown
Description
A stabilized portfolio of four mixed-use multifamily and retail assets (126 residential units and 11k square feet of ground floor retail) located in Manhattan, NY.
Why it matters
New York City is experiencing a vast undersupply of multifamily products, with vacancy rates in the low-single digits, including <1% vacancy rate for rent-regulated buildings. Due to the high cost of construction coupled with regulatory challenges, new supply is expected to stay muted in New York City.
The HL advantage
Through our relationships and network, we were able to access an off-market portfolio of well-located NYC mixed-used assets alongside a local operator at attractive pricing, utilizing positive leverage.The bottom line
The assets are all located in prime New York City neighborhoods, characterized by strong rental demand, occupancy levels and rent growth. We negotiated an attractive purchase price and assumed accretive in-place financing below market rates. Project Downtown is an example of a unique opportunity to access one of the strongest multifamily markets in the U.S. at a very compelling basis.
Project Heights
Description
A two-property apartment portfolio consisting of 702 units located in the Lower Heights neighborhood of Houston, TX. The properties were built by a national apartment developer in 2021 with Class A level finishes and amenities.
Why it matters
This is a best-in-class apartment community in a highly walkable and amenitized submarket of Houston that has seen rapid population growth. Our entry price of $196k/unit represents an attractive discount to the prior owner’s 2021 purchase as well as the property’s estimated replacement cost, which was made possible because of the seller’s need for liquidity in the face of a looming loan maturity.
The bottom line
We believe this investment is an example of a unique opportunity that is available because of our deep relationships, detailed focus on individual market dynamics and nimble approach to investment sourcing. We see this opportunity as an example of the highly attractive market opportunity to buy high-quality assets at attractive yields and achieve opportunistic returns through core-like risks.The HL advantage
We have a long-standing relationship with the sponsor and are known in the market as a thoughtful and flexible capital provider, capable of underwriting transactions within an abbreviated period of time.
