AVANTA Residential Announces Preferred Equity Investment for Boardwalk Village
AVANTA Residential is pleased to announce the closing of an $8 million preferred equity investment for the development of Boardwalk Village, marking the company's second preferred equity investment. This investment underscores Avanta's commitment to supporting the growth of the Build-to-Rent industry while reinforcing its strategic focus on preferred equity investing.
Boardwalk Village will include 203 high-quality patio homes to meet the growing demand in the area. Strategically located 30 miles from downtown Houston and just north of the Woodlands, the community will benefit from access to the amenities of both areas via I-45. In addition, Boardwalk Village is in the Conroe Independent School District which ranks as the best in Montgomery County and one of the best school districts in the state of Texas. Major employers close by include Exxon Mobile, HP and Southwestern Energy.
Boardwalk Village will feature a diverse mix of 24 studio, 80 one-bedroom, and 99 two-bedroom detached patio home units and two-story flats. In addition to the thoughtfully designed floor plans, the community includes a resident lounge, community kitchen/grills, leasing office, resort style community pool, dog park, recreational space, firepits, and grilling stations with picnic areas, enhancing the lifestyle and convenience for residents. HMF Americana will serve as the master developer of Boardwalk Village.
"This $8 million preferred equity investment is a testament to Avanta's commitment to growth and excellence in the build-to-rent sector," said Peter Spier, President of Avanta Residential. "Strategically located near downtown Houston and The Woodlands, and within the exceptional Conroe Independent School District, Boardwalk Village blends modern living with accessibility. We are thrilled to partner with HMF Americana to bring this project to life."
