AHV Communities Unveils Plans for Built-for-Rent® Single-family Home Community

New 244-home community to expand SFR leader’s growing presence in Texas and nationally

SAN ANTONIO, TX (July 27, 2022) – AHV Communities (AHV), the leader in Built-for-Rent® single-family (SFR) and attached home rental communities, today unveiled plans for a new 244-unit single-family detached rental home community in metro Austin. The company will develop the community on a newly acquired 48-acre site located 30 minutes from downtown Austin and is expected to break ground in October.

“It’s rare to find such a well-located land site in Austin large enough for a new single-family rental community of this quality,” says Mark Wolf, co-founder and CEO of AHV Communities. “With Austin’s staggering growth, this new community will help address unfettered demand in the metro area for higher quality rental options that are in record demand.”

AHV has engaged KTGY to design the homes, which will offer three- and four-bedroom floor plans ranging in size from 1,500 to 1,900 square feet. Each home will include a direct-access, two-car garage and a private, fenced backyard. The residences will be enviably appointed with a sustainable, smart and luxury amenity package featuring designer kitchens with quartz countertops; designer vinyl flooring; stainless steel appliances; modern, energy-efficient LED lighting; ceiling fans (in select locations); USB wall ports; primary walk-in closets; double sink vanities in primary bathrooms; and more. Lawn care will be provided for the homes as part of AHV’s onsite maintenance package.

The community itself will offer a robust suite of amenities including clubhouse lounge and retreat center; resort style pool with sundeck; 24-hour tech fitness center; dog park; pet washing station; large community conference room; complimentary Wi-Fi in all common areas; BBQ and picnic areas designed for outdoor entertaining; as well as a bocce and game court. Professional, onsite management staff will provide hassle-free living for residents.

“Unlike many single-family rentals available today, AHV Master Planned Rental Communities™ are true Built-for-Rent® communities,” adds Wolf. “They are ideally located, well appointed, professionally managed and maintained onsite to ensure an incredible experience and lifestyle for residents. This is an AHV differentiator and this community will be no different.”

The new community will be located in a highly desirable location on the border of Leander along a high-growth corridor. The community will be situated just 20 minutes from numerous major employers including the new billion-dollar Apple campus expected to employ more than 5,000i. In addition to wide

ranging employment opportunities, residents will benefit from easy access to major highways, including 183 and 29, as well as the commuter rail providing easy travel to and from downtown Austin. Residents will also enjoy the numerous retail and amenities in Leander.

AHV Communities anticipates construction to commence in the first quarter of 2023.

In addition to its operational communities, AHV Communities’ development pipeline includes 20 communities in various stages of development and construction. The company’s communities are now located in California, Washington, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama.

“Our plan is to eventually offer our gold standard communities coast-to-coast,” says Wolf.

Westcore Acquires Eisenhauer Business Park from NIT Industrial for $36.6M

SAN ANTONIO (July 20, 2022) – Westcore, a leading industrial real estate acquisition, development and asset management firm, has acquired the recently completed Eisenhauer Business Park in San Antonio, Texas from NIT Industrial. The four-building property, comprising 377,318-square-feet, sold for $36.6 million.

In the fall of 2021, Westcore agreed to purchase both Cedar Port Park and Eisenhauer Business Park from NIT Industrial. The latter purchase was scheduled upon building completion.

The newly built Eisenhauer Business Park is located at 5473 Eisenhauer Rd., proximate to the three primary San Antonio thoroughfares of IH-10, Loop 410 and IH-35. The buildings feature dock-high and grade-level loading and clear heights ranging from 28 feet to 32 feet. The project accommodates small and large users alike.

“I am excited for the addition of the Eisenhauer Business Park to our portfolio—our San Antonio holdings now exceed 1.5 million square feet,” said Westcore Managing Director Peter Mette. “San Antonio remains an attractive investment market for us, and we hope to add more high-quality assets to our portfolio in the near term.”

Westcore represented itself in the transaction, while Stream Realty Partners’ Michael Kent represented the seller.

“Westcore will benefit from a 95% occupied industrial market with record absorption over the past 18 months and continued tenant demand,” said Kent. “Plus, the variety of product and flexibility of suite sizes exposes the Eisenhauer Business Park to a wide range of tenant demand.”

Stream Realty Partners’ RiverSouth Achieves First SmartScore Platinum Certification In Texas

401 S. 1st St. Marks The Third Platinum SmartScore Building In The United States

AUSTIN, TEXAS — RiverSouth, Austin’s newest office development owned by Stream Realty Partners, has been honored with SmartScore’s highest achievement, making it the smartest building in Texas.

The 15-story, 372,00-square-foot high-rise at 401 S. 1st St. received a SmartScore Platinum rating for its cutting-edge user functionality and technological foundation. Stream, a national real estate services, development, and investment firm, also leases and manages the property. The building’s smart elements from KODE Labs include:

● The ability to monitor, report, and optimize energy usage for sustainability purposes.

● A cleaning protocol based on occupancy that senses when shared areas need to be cleansed.

● Easy entrance to the building and garage via a mobile device. ● Luxer One package delivery service, enabling secure spaces for tenants to receive packages.

● A sensor that collects thorough data on light, noise, temperature, and air quality.

● A tenant app providing local weather, building services, and the ability to submit feedback.

● Access to diverse routes for telecommunications with three providers.

“RiverSouth provided us the ultimate opportunity to solidify our commitment to sustainability in a city that has set national standards for a sustainable built environment,” said Eric Herron, Managing Director of Development and Construction for Stream Austin. “The building’s operating system from KODE Labs will undoubtedly allow our tenants to achieve higher efficiencies that will affect their bottom line—energy costs. We are proud to have developed a building with technology that is unmatched in the commercial real estate world, and achieving the highest SmartScore rating available validates our commitment.

RiverSouth is the first building in Texas to achieve the SmartScore Platinum certification. WiredScore is currently working with over 20 buildings in North America for its SmartScore certification.

WiredScore’s SmartScore certification identifies best-in-class smart buildings that deliver an exceptional user experience, drive cost efficiency, deliver high standards of sustainability, promote healthy environments, and are considered future proof. At the platinum level, an asset must offer cutting-edge innovation and showcase processes and automation that deliver world-class outcomes for occupants and guests.

“Securing SmartScore Platinum is a landmark achievement for Stream, marking one of the most intelligent built-environments in the world,” said Katie Klein, North American Country Director at WiredScore. “The building’s current leasing velocity echoes the undeniable power of smart tech that occupiers no longer just crave but demand.”

In addition to its smart features, RiverSouth offers amenities including bike valet and storage, underground parking, a fitness studio with spa-inspired locker rooms and showers, ground-level restaurants and shopping, a seventh-floor green roof and amenity deck, and a rooftop lounge with an exclusive full-service bar.

RiverSouth recently opened with Baker Botts, Under Armour, AlertMedia, Goldman Sachs, and others calling the building home. For leasing information, contact Stream Austin at 512.481.3000.
