ATLANTA, GA – Atlanta Housing (AH) and its development partner Integral celebrated the groundbreaking of Ashley II at Scholars Landing.

This momentous occasion was commemorated in tandem with the grand openings of Ashley IA/B, and The Vine at Scholars Landing, two mixed-income developments comprised of 135 and 72 units respectively. The celebration, which took place onsite, opened with remarks from Mistress of Ceremonies and President of Integral Vicki Lundy Wilbon, Mayor of Atlanta Andre Dickens, Deputy Secretary Adrianne Todman of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), and Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) Christopher Nunn.

S2 Capital Acquires 126-Unit Falltree and 642-Unit Silverbrook Multifamily Communities in Texas Markets of Mesquite and Grand Prairie
DALLAS, TX – S2 Capital, a vertically integrated multifamily investment manager, announced it has acquired Falltree, a 126-unit multifamily property located in Mesquite, Texas; and Silverbrook, a 642-unit multifamily property located in neighboring Grand Prairie, Texas. Terms of the transactions were not disclosed.
“These deals mark the first acquisitions for S2 in 2023 as we have remained very patient with our capital as pricing and capital markets continue to deteriorate. These deals transacted at a basis that felt very compelling for our investors in markets we know extremely well,” said Ryan Everett, Vice President of Acquisitions. “Both of these new acquisitions are located within a few miles of other multifamily assets owned by S2. Our strategy of geographic proximity of properties provides economies of scale in operating costs, which significantly increases the profitability of these assets.”
Falltree is located east of Dallas on 19200 Lyndon B Johnson Freeway in Mesquite, a submarket ranking third for rent growth among other Dallas-Fort Worth submarkets. The property offers convenient access to the I-30 and I-635 corridors and retail destinations like the Towne East Mall, Market East and the Marketplace at Towne Centre. S2 plans to enhance and reposition Falltree to compete with comparable renovated properties in the submarket, including renovating all units with stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, tile backsplash, granite countertops, wood-style flooring and contemporary fixtures. Updated exterior amenities will include a renovated clubhouse, swimming pools, added balcony and patio enclosures, paint and landscaping.
Located on 2934 Alouette Drive in Grand Prairie, Silverbrook is near a 172-acre entertainment district called Epic Center, and closely connected to Dallas and Fort Worth via I-30, as well as the Dallas-Fort Worth airport via President George Bush Turnpike and US-360. S2 plans to renovate all units with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, upgraded fixtures and new flooring, tile and paint. Exterior amenity upgrades will include a reimagined community clubhouse, a tennis court repurposed as pickleball courts, new paint and balcony decking, a dog park and a swimming pool area surrounded by grill stations and pergolas.
CBRE’s Danny Baker and William Hubbard represented the sellers in these transactions. CBRE’s Harry Krieger represented S2 in securing financing.
Blaze Capital Partners Acquires 99-Unit The Retreat at Carlile Townhome Rental Community in Fast Growing Charleston Submarket
CHARLESTON, SC – Blaze Capital Partners and joint venture partner Cross Lake Partners announce the acquisition of The Retreat at Carlile, a 99-unit, Class-A townhome rental community in Summerville, South Carolina, a fast growing submarket just outside of Charleston.
“Among the fastest-growing areas in the country, Charleston’s population is booming as job growth and investment draws more people to the Low country – creating unmatched demand for housing at a time when the cost of homeownership is reaching unobtainable heights,” said Eddy O’Brien, co-founder and managing partner of Blaze. “As economic conditions keep would-be homebuyers out of the market in the Charleston metro, build-to-rent communities are providing an affordable alternative, without requiring people to sacrifice the lifestyle and space offered by a more traditional neighborhood setting. The Retreat at Carlile provides an underrepresented rental townhome option to the Charleston market and as demand for this type of product intensifies, we’re pleased to add this community to our expanding portfolio.”
The Retreat at Carlile features two- and three-bedroom new construction townhomes ranging from 1,492 to 1,540 square feet in a 20.5-acre neighborhood. Construction for the community began in 2022. The townhomes feature nine-foot ceilings, espresso kitchen cabinets, patio storage, energy-efficient stainless steel appliances, gourmet-inspired kitchens, granite countertops and spacious walk-in closets. Each home has designated parking spots and the pet-friendly community features on-site management, a 24-hour fitness center, a pool and sun deck.
The property is ideally located six miles from I-26, allowing easy access to Charleston’s largest employers including Boeing, Volvo’s Ridgeville Plant, and Google. The Retreat at Carlile’s residents can enjoy the ease of a suburban layout in Summerville with access to city offerings found in Charleston, voted the number one city in America by Travel & Leisure the last nine years. Preserved historic architecture, award-winning food, miles of pristine beaches and world-class entertainment, arts and culture span the region, offering endless relaxation and recreation options.
“Housing demand across the Summerville and I-26 corridor continues to rise given the rate at which population is growing. Build-to-rent properties combine affordability with the familiarity and comfort of the ‘home style’ market for residents who may be entering a new phase of life – bringing much-needed choices to the area’s housing stock at a time when there are more barriers than ever to purchasing a home,” said Adam Rapport, Partner and Head of Acquisitions at Cross Lake. “This acquisition aligns with our long-term view on housing as the market evolves, and we will continue investing in the Carolinas as the region experiences remarkable growth.”
Last October, Blaze and Cross Lake Partners sold Chamberlain Pines, a 132-unit townhome rental community in Summerville developed and sold by the JV partnership.
Blaze has continued to grow its rental housing portfolio significantly throughout the Sun Belt. In the past twelve months, Blaze has acquired three active adult communities and two conventional multifamily communities, including most recently Integra Lakes, a 203-unit multifamily community in Orlando. Blaze expects to deploy capital opportunistically throughout the remainder of the year as the firm seeks to find attractive long-term plays amidst significant capital market volatility and dislocation.
Canyon Partners and The NRP Group Form Joint Venture for 392-Unit Abernethy Lofts Transit-Oriented Development in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE, NC – Canyon Partners Real Estate and The NRP Group announced a joint venture for the development of the Abernethy Lofts, a 392-unit, Class A multifamily community in the NODA submarket of Charlotte, North Carolina. Canyon provided $35.9 million of LP equity for the development, which is in a qualified opportunity zone. Construction of the community will begin immediately and is expected to be completed in Q2 2026.
Located walking distance to the Sugar Creek LYNK Blue Line Rail Station in Charlotte’s North Davidson arts and entertainment district (“NoDa”), Abernethy Lofts will be in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods and positioned among hundreds of restaurants, shops, galleries and music venues. As Charlotte’s established workforce continues to grow as a result of corporate relocations and expansions, the community’s proximity to public transportation will provide residents with convenient access to the area’s major employment centers, including Uptown Charlotte, University City and the South End.
“Since our first development in the NoDa neighborhood over five years ago, we have recognized the incredible opportunities and amenities readily available to residents in this area,” said Jason Mochizuki, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. “We are proud to partner with Canyon for the fourth time in the Charlotte market to continue creating highly desirable rental opportunities in a location that offers connectivity and convenience.”
Most recently, Canyon collaborated with NRP in February 2023 for the development of South Tryon, a residential community in Charlotte’s South End.
Abernethy Lofts will total 344,339 square feet and include an extensive amenity package with a resort style pool, a large outdoor area with private dining, pizza and grilling stations, work-from-home conference pods, a state-of-the-art fitness center and a large dog park. The community will have structured parking for 509 spaces and a garage with branded electric bikes. The community will feature several environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) attributes including ENERGY STAR rated appliances and Wi-Fi-enabled “Smart” thermostats.
Canyon has been an active provider of debt and equity in the Southeast and continues to invest in real estate projects in primary and secondary markets across the United States. Since its inception, Canyon has invested approximately $2.0 billion in debt and equity to capitalize nearly $6.2 billion of total projects in the Southeast.
The Cordish Companies and Power & Light District Celebrate Grand Opening of Iconic Three Light Luxury Apartments in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, MO – The Cordish Companies and Power & Light District announced the grand opening of Three Light Luxury Apartments in Kansas City, MO. Team members from The Cordish Companies and Power & Light District were joined by Mayor Quinton Lucas, City Manager Brian Platt, city officials and distinguished guests from the City of Kansas City, MO to celebrate the opening of the brand-new addition to Kansas City’s skyline.
A landmark tower of gleaming glass, Three Light joins its sister properties, One Light and Two Light – both 97% occupied, as the next phase of luxury living in the Power & Light District. With its own distinctive take on an immersive downtown Kansas City lifestyle that offers convenience and walkability, Three Light sits steps away from the legendary Midland Theatre, Cosentino’s Downtown Market, Kansas City Live!, T-Mobile Center, Genesis Health Clubs, KC Streetcar line, dozens of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues, cultural destinations like the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, and forthcoming South Loop Link Park over I-670.
“On behalf of my family and our entire team at The Cordish Companies, we are excited to celebrate the grand opening of Three Light Luxury Apartments and are honored to continue playing a role in the forward momentum of downtown Kansas City,” stated Blake Cordish, Principal of The Cordish Companies. “Like its sister properties One Light and Two Light, Three Light is on par with any residential community in the country. We are extremely proud of what we have delivered with Three Light and know that it will be a vibrant addition to the Power & Light District and the Kansas City skyline for decades to come.”
Since the opening of the nine-city block Power & Light District, which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, downtown Kansas City has garnered national attention for its urban renaissance. The transformation has included more than $9.7 billion in public and private investment over the last 15 years, with more than 12,111 new apartment units and 5,326 new or renovated hotel rooms, as well as the KC Streetcar line. The Power & Light District, developed by The Cordish Companies, is the most visited destination in the state of Missouri welcoming over 10 million visitors per year.
“When I think about all of the development that’s going on around the Power & Light District, Three Light, and beyond, it’s bringing jobs, it’s bringing excitement,” said Mayor Quinton Lucas, Kansas City, MO. “To my friends at The Cordish Companies, I want to say thank you for not only taking a chance on Three Light, but on the Power & Light District in the early 2000s. Every challenge that has come along the way, from recessions, pandemics, and beyond, you have continued to build and invest and show that even if you are not originally from here, you are true Kansas Citians.”
For nearly two decades, The Cordish Companies has invested in downtown Kansas City, both new construction projects and the restoration of historic buildings including the B&B Theatre and a two-year, multi-million dollar renovation of the Midland Theatre, which first opened its doors in 1927. Earlier this summer, Cordish commenced construction on Midland Lofts, the transformation of the historic Midland Office Building – an underutilized jewel that has been vacant for more than 20 years – to 135 loft apartments. Upon completion in May 2024, Cordish will have added over 1,000 new residences to downtown KC since One Light’s opening in 2015.
“HUD is proud to have been a partner in Three Light since its inception,” said Ken Cooper, Production Division Director, U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development. “This public private partnership brings together the strengths and expertise of both public and private sectors uniting their resources, knowledge and innovation. The Cordish team has elevated the level of apartment living in Kansas City and its downtown renaissance continues with this development team that’s passionately committed to their projects.”
Located at the corner of Truman Road and Main Street, the new 25-story, 288-unit building includes a seven-story parking garage with 472 spaces, as well as 7,600 square feet of ground-level retail space. With units starting at $1,350/month, there is a wide variety of unit sizes and floorplans including spacious studio apartments, one- and two-bedroom units, and designer penthouse apartment homes. Units boast floor-to-ceiling windows with inspiring city views, gourmet kitchens, premium stainless-steel appliances, luxury quartz countertops, full-size washers and dryers, and private balconies in select residences.
“We are incredibly proud to open Three Light as Kansas City’s newest downtown residential community,” said Emelyna Aurich, Director of Property Management for Cordish Living. “The preleasing momentum for Three Light has been remarkable and has exceeded our every expectation. As we open our doors, many of our unit types are 90% leased and we’re on pace to reach our target of 99% in the coming months. Our team has spent countless hours ensuring that every detail was specifically curated for this building. It is a celebration of Kansas City, from murals on the exterior of the building to memorable pieces of art throughout the inside. Everywhere you look, the city’s rich musical legacy and dynamic present day are honored.”
