29TH STREET CAPITAL ACQUIRES GREENHOUSE APARTMENTS; PROPERTY IS FIRM’S 11TH HOUSTON-AREA ACQUISITION

Houston, Texas (August 26, 2020) – 29th Street Capital (29SC), a privately-held real estate operator, has acquired Greenhouse Apartments, a Class A+, 350-unit asset located in the Katy/Cinco Ranch submarket of Houston. 29SC plans to add value to the three-year-old property by upgrading the landscaping, adding a package locker system and making technology improvements.

“Growth out west along I-10 has been robust over the past decade,” said Doug Burt, 29SC’s Vice President of Acquisitions in Houston. “Greenhouse is a best-in-class asset that is strategically located right off I-10 to provide easy access for residents to get to nearby employment centers, shopping and restaurants. The Katy/Cinco Ranch submarket has consistently been the most absorbed submarket in the entire Houston area. In addition to being located in the highly sought-after Katy Independent School District, the community appeals to all types of residents with its midrise, garden and townhome style floorplans.”

The Houston multifamily market has proven resilient during the Covid-19 pandemic.

It is projected to grow +17% by 2029, which would result in a population of 9.3 million people.

Greenhouse Apartments, located at 2040 Greenhouse Road, is approximately 23 miles west of downtown Houston. The property is located just west of the Energy Corridor, which is one of the largest employment centers and most impactful economic forces in the Greater Houston area.

“This is 29SC’s second acquisition in the Houston area in the past 12 months and will be a strong addition to 29SC’s existing Houston portfolio of 2,555 units,” adds Burt. The price of the acquisition has not been disclosed.
