Key Takeaways

Texas Portfolio Transaction

Multi-housing News reports that Related Cos. finalized the sale of a Texas portfolio that includes four multifamily and build-to-rent assets in Midland. The sale covered Delmar Villas (92 units), Enclave (68 BTR homes), Brighton Court (60 apartments), and Signature Place (57 BTR units), totaling 277 units. Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, brokered the transaction for both seller and buyer.

Portfolio Background

These Midland communities were originally part of a larger 21-property, 3,128-unit Texas portfolio acquired by Related Cos. in 2014 for approximately $300M. The properties sit within a 2-mile radius, close to retail and major employers like Occidental Petroleum and Chevron. Related Cos. planned capital upgrades after the initial acquisition.

Financing and Market Context

In April 2024, the owners refinanced the four properties with $27.2M in Fannie Mae CMBS loans originated by CBRE Capital Markets. Midland-Odessa led the US in average rent growth at 10% year-over-year. However, multifamily investment volume in the area dropped nearly 50% in 2025, falling to $72.3M.

Investment Momentum

Earlier in 2025, Related Cos. was involved in another major sale. The company sold a six-asset, 1,225-unit Texas portfolio to Altus Equity Group and Wellings Capital. Continued activity in Texas portfolio transactions reflects shifting investor priorities, even with strong local rent growth. The sale also comes as the firm has been active across capital markets and acquisitions more broadly, signaling continued positioning ahead of an eventual rebound in multifamily deal volume.
