San Antonio, TX (November 22, 2022) — Newmark announces the sale of Trailside, a 240-unit multifamily community at 8120 Mainland Drive in northwest San Antonio, Texas. Newmark’s Senior Managing Directors Jim Young and Matt Michelson and Director Chase Easley represented the undisclosed seller in the sale to a joint venture between Cottonwood Management, LLC, a private equity real estate investment firm, and Dallas-based Texsun Holdings (Texsun).

“Trailside presented investors with a compelling value-add investment opportunity in the fast-growing northwest submarket of San Antonio,” said Young. “All parties worked diligently to complete this off-market transaction, and Texsun is primed to capitalize on an outstanding acquisition.”

The asset, which was 94 percent occupied at the time of sale, features one- and two-bedroom units ranging in size from 662 square feet to 982 square feet. Residences come equipped with all-electric kitchens, breakfast bars, pantries, walk-in closets, ample storage and balconies or patio spaces. Various on-site amenities include a business center, a clubhouse, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a pool and a dedicated picnic area featuring gas grill stations.

Located in the heart of San Antonio, Trailside benefits from ample entertainment and dining within walking distance, convenient access to a variety of nearby public parks and proximity to major freeways, like I-410, and the nearby San Antonio International Airport.

New Residential Development in South Austin

United Properties announced today the groundbreaking of Shelby Ranch, a new residential development project in South Austin. Located in a residential area at 2212 Lynnbrook Drive, the project will include two four-story buildings on eight acres of land and is designed to embrace outdoor living through its on-site amenities and easy access to natural areas for recreation.

Located on the former property of an automobile enthusiast named Wilson “Larkin” Miller, the name Shelby is a nod to Miller’s upbringing in Shelby County, Texas, and to Ford’s Mustang Shelby, an American classic built in the 1960s. The project incorporates local salvaged materials in recognition of the site’s history and includes farm features.

Unexpected Outdoor Amenities
At the heart of the development is a one-acre courtyard that includes an open-air performance stage, pool and rustic-modern clubhouse. There will be a chicken coop for collecting eggs, honey-producing beehives, and raised garden beds for residents to grow their own vegetables and herbs.

In addition to edible gardens, and lemon- and lime-producing trees, the outdoor area is on track to be a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. There are rain gardens to manage stormwater, and native plants are incorporated into the courtyard design to establish havens for birds, butterflies and other wildlife.

Airy Interiors and Creative Spaces
Shelby Ranch will include 302 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. Apartments will have high ceilings, large windows and private balconies that create a light-filled, airy atmosphere. Other interior features include modern kitchens with two-tone cabinets and quartz countertops, energy-efficient stainless steel appliances and wood-style floors.

The development has a workshop/makerspace for craft and hobby projects, a fitness center with a separate room for yoga and indoor cycling, a co-working space with a conference room and private work areas, an indoor/outdoor resident lounge with a bar, kitchen and fireplace, and a large dog park and pet spa.

At Home in South Austin
Surrounded by South Austin’s booming dining and drinking scene, Shelby Ranch’s open-air living is designed to fit with the casual, outdoor-oriented atmosphere of the neighborhood where there are lots of outdoor bars, coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance.

The development is equally close to natural areas like Bauerle Ranch Park, which has seven miles of trails for mountain biking, hiking and dog walking, and easy access to many more miles of mountain biking trails via Slaughter Creek.

Shelby Ranch was designed by Belshaw Mulholland Architects, with interior design by Keaton Interiors and landscape architecture by TBG Partners. Construction on the project is anticipated to be complete by late 2024.

The project is United Properties’ second multifamily residential project to break ground in Austin. Bishop Momo, a new residential and retail development located in the St. Elmo district, broke ground earlier this year.

BSG TPV LLC renewed 4,113 square feet at 7411 John Smith Drive in San Antonio, TX. Kaila Brodeur represented the landlord, Hartman Income REIT.

San Antonio, TX (November 14, 2022) — Newmark announces the sale of Gardens at West, a 252-unit value-add multifamily property located in San Antonio, Texas, which will be rebranded as The Hayden on West Ave. Newmark Senior Managing Director Matt Michelson and Vice Chairman Patton Jones represented the seller, Regional Investment and Management (RIM), in the sale to the buyer, Embrey, marking their second acquisition in the greater San Antonio area. This is Newmark’s second time selling this asset.

“The Hayden on West Ave presented investors with an outstanding value-add opportunity in the highly desirable north central San Antonio submarket,” said Michelson. “Buyer interest was very strong as investors were drawn to the quality product as well as the high barriers to entry for new development.”

The property’s unit interiors offer gourmet kitchens, walk-in closets, outdoor storage, private patios/balconies and washer/dryer connections. Resort-class community amenities include a pool, two outdoor kitchens with grills, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a clubhouse, a dog park, controlled access gates, covered parking and nearby walking trails.
