BOSTON, MA - Rockpoint Group, a global real estate investment management firm, announced it has formed an exclusive $250 million joint venture with Resicap, a leading owner and operator of single-family rental homes based in Atlanta, GA. Resicap's fully integrated real estate platform provides expertise in the acquisition, construction and property management of high-quality rental homes with operations in 34 states and 59 markets. Together, Rockpoint and Resicap expect to acquire, renovate, and lease 4,500-5,000 high-quality single-family rental homes at price points affordable to residents of established suburban neighborhoods in the Southeast U.S., Florida, and Texas.
The Resicap venture will expand Rockpoint's footprint in the single-family rental sector to include a more diversified offering of price points and markets, complementary with Rockpoint's recently announced $375 million joint venture with Dallas-based Invitation Homes, Inc. With the Resicap venture, Rockpoint expects to become a leading investor in the single-family rental home arena.
Rockpoint co-founder Bill Walton said, "This joint venture is a natural extension of our 26-year history of providing high-quality rental housing in demand-driven markets throughout the United States. We are pleased to partner with Resicap, a leading owner and operator in the single-family rental space." Rockpoint Managing Member Tom Gilbane added, "We believe that single family rental housing will become a core asset class going forward for many institutional real-estate investors."
Resicap co-founder Lance Popp commented, "We are delighted to be joining forces with Rockpoint Group, a globally recognized real estate investor and manager who shares our commitment to the residential rental space." Co-founder Andy Capps added, "We look forward to scaling our portfolio, utilizing our successful platform and Rockpoint's expertise to provide an exceptional tenant experience."
