Project Summary
Diversified Lending Solutions ("DLS") has been retained as the exclusive advisor to Boundless Properties (the "Sponsor") to obtain programmatic funding to complete a 3-Phase, $3.125 million planned urban development. Phase 1 of the Hulse Road Estates (the "Property") consist of the 4 homes, and the entire development will be comprised of 11 single family homes (the, "Project") located in Jonesborough, TN. The homes in Project the will each total roughly 1,900 +/- SF, and include 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an oversized 500 +/- SF garage situated on an at least 1 acre of land. Phases 2 and 3 of the project will be comprised of four and three similarly-designed single-family homes, respectively.
The Property
The Project will benefit from energy efficient design and high-end amenities, including a one-story floor plan preferred by 55+ purchasers. Other features will be large, unfinished daylight basements, oversized garages with work and storage space, stainless steel appliances, USB-enabled outlets throughout.
Jonesboro, TN is centrally located between Bristol, Knoxville, and Kingsport, TN and home to East Tennessee State University, a school of 12,000 students and a major medical school and teaching hospital. The Property area is in a suburban neighborhood that offers convenient access to the corporate offices of Siemens, Eastman Chemical, American Water Heater and numerous employers in the region. Jonesboro benefits from a crime rates and unemployment rate that are below the regional and national averages, and a population that is 56% married, 73% homeowner, and a median income of $50k.
Background
The Sponsor acquired the Property in November 2021 for $443,643 and has invested an additional $59,655K into soft costs and horizontal development. The Sponsor is already in possession of all necessary approvals and permits for vertical construction of the homes included in Phase 1, 2, and 3 of the Property. Site work at the Property has already commenced and most of the needed soft cost expenditure for the Property is already underway. The Sponsor has already paid the power board to move electric lines and put in pedestals for underground power to the homes. No roads are required because all of the lots have road frontage and all of the properties will have septic.
Business Plan
The projected timeline is 9 to 11 months for completion of the Phase 1 vertical construction, and 18 to 21 months to complete all three phases. The Sponsor's business plan is to build each of the homes for an all-in cost of $150/SF and sell the completed homes for $263/SF. The senior loan request for Phase 1 represents 52% of total budgeted costs of $2.67 million and 49% of the completed value. Loan proceeds will be used to fund the vertical hard costs, fund an interest reserve, fund new closing costs.
Sponsor
The Sponsorship team is comprised of experienced real estate investors in the south who have invested in over 1000 units of multifamily properties, and successfully fix and flip single family homes. The Sponsorship team also has extensive experience managing new construction projects as a principal and a third-party service provider through a principally-owned construction company. Construction experience has ranged from commercial to residential, and includes successfully development of over a dozen new construction homes throughout Tennessee and several commercial buildings.
Desirable Class B Multifamily Market
The Property is located in the Sunbelt-Ellington neighborhood of Southeast Houston, which lies at the intersection Sam Houston Parkway (Belt 8) and the Gulf Freeway (Texas' major interstate highway). The Houston downtown metro is accessible via a 20 minutes drive.
Area amenities include the Almeda Mall (six minute drive), Golfcrest Country Club, Pasadena Municipal Gold Course, Top Golf, the Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital, and multiple retail and commercial establishments along the Gulf Freeway. The Property is also proximate to Pearland, the fastest growing city in the Greater Houston Area and the second fastest growing city in Texas. Major area employers include the Port of Houston, downstream petrochemical industry, Hobby Airport (3 exits north), and NASA (2 exits south).
The local area serves as an attractive source of workforce housing, with many older Class B/C garden style properties that were constructed 40+ years ago. Asking rents average $900 per month, making it an attractive destination for renters seeking more affordable options than are generally available in the downtown metro. Market occupancy is 92%, normalizing after absorption of newly built units (320 completed annually 2014-2019). New multifamily supply coming online tends to cater to higher income renters, supporting a sustained demand for renovated inventory that is still affordable for the mainstream population. The impact of Covid-19 and demand for greater space and social distancing has helped bolster demand in suburban enclaves of the city.
The attractive local demand generators have attracted institutional ownership with groups such as Westmount Realty, Investcorp, RREAF Holdings, HM Equity Management and other large multifamily investors all owning assets nearby the Property.
Houston: City With Strong Fundamentals
According to Yardi Matrix, multifamily sales were $1.5 billion for the first five months of 2021, surpassing $121,000 per unit. Population growth has been sustained, increasing 18% over the last decade. Houston is still a source of affordability relative to other major metros, with average rents of $1,124, below the $1,428 US average.
The economy continues to diversify with Trade, Transportation, and Utilities (20.8%), Professional and Business Services (16.2%), Government (13.9%), and Education/Health Services (13.3%), Leisure and Hospitality (9.2%), and Mining, Lodging, and Construction (9.2%) making up the majority of employment.
Despite the pandemic, developers delivered 13,588 units to inventory in 2020. Unemployment has recovered from a peak of 14% (April 2020) to 7.1% in April 2021. Despite loss of 175,000 metro jobs due largely to Covid-19 (concentrated in tourism and construction), large infrastructure projects like the $30 billion, multi-phase, high-speed railway between Houston and Dallas. The project is expected to create 17,000 direct jobs over the next six years and 1,500 permanent jobs. In addition, the $2.5 billion waterfront development on East River by local developer Midway will span across the largest site within the 610 Loop, and is poised to spur substantial sustained job creation, especially in the construction industry.
