SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Kasa Living, a tech-enhanced, flexible accommodations brand and operator, has expanded into the burgeoning Single Family Leisure industry. The company has entered into a partnership with affiliates of an institutional real estate investor to manage single family homes as short-term vacation rentals. The strategy is consistent with Kasa’s existing partnerships with institutional owners of multifamily and hotel assets to transform properties into stylishly furnished, professionally managed Kasas that cater to business and leisure travelers seeking trustworthy and comfortable accommodations.
The partnership’s initial homes are in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, where Kasa is now offering luxury single-family vacation rentals in some of the region’s most sought-after locations. Kasa plans to expand in South Florida as well as additional markets to meet a growing need for professionally managed vacation rental homes. With demand for premium vacation rental options on the rise, Kasa’s expansion into the Single Family Leisure sector is a natural progression for its brand.
The market for short-term rentals has grown into a massive industry given evolving changes in demographics and consumer preferences for leisure travel. From 2015 to 2022, gross bookings across the global vacation rental market more than doubled to over $150 billion. Over the same time period, vacation rentals’ share of hospitality bookings increased from 10% to approximately 20%. Yet a 2022 report by AirDNA estimates that of the 500,000-plus active Airbnb hosts in the US, only 5,000, or approximately 1%, oversee 21 or more listings. Even fewer offer a consistent, branded, experience for 365 days per year for institutional owners.
“We are excited to enter the Single Family Leisure sector and offer our guests the same high-quality experience they have come to expect from Kasa, but now in the form of a luxurious single-family vacation home,” said Roman Pedan, Founder and CEO of Kasa Living. “This is an extension of our core value proposition, which is to unlock the power of livable space. We see this as a significant opportunity to meet the growing demand for premium vacation rental options and offer a consistent, branded experience that has existed for years in the hotel market but has been lacking in the vacation rental market.”

Situated in the heart of McLean, Sunrise of McLean Village is located in dynamic Northern Virginia area, home to the first Sunrise more than 40 years ago. This new community proudly continues the company s tradition of providing high-quality senior living as it begins welcoming its first residents this month.

My team and I will eagerly welcome our new residents and their loved ones into the Sunrise family. We will serve our residents according to their preferences. Giving them the lives they want, deserve, and have earned.
The three-story property spans nearly 90,000 square feet of space. The building s brick façade fits seamlessly into the surrounding area s historic and traditional feel but brings a unique touch with its large picture windows and subtle modern design elements. Sunrise of McLean Village s interiors were designed by Sunrise s in-house design team that took every detail into account while designing the spaces. Using the natural light from the large windows, the common spaces are bright and stylishly decorated with curated furniture, built specifically for this community. Residents will enjoy the community s sophisticated air paired with its cozy, home-like feel. A special piece of Sunrise of McLean Village s design can be found along the interior walls which are lined with works from local artists and creators.

These amenities include large common spaces like the dining room and the contemporary bistro, which will feature a bar for entertainment, social hours and events for residents and their families.
Additional amenities will include a fitness center, library, two sunrooms, activity room, hair and nail salon and a massage room. A special element of the community is its emphasis on access to outdoor space. These amenities include five covered porches, a large outdoor terrace, two rooftop terraces, and a public-private heritage garden. This area will have sections for public use and a section for residents only. The garden will feature landscaping with native plants, benches as well as accessible walking paths. The community is pet-friendly so residents can look forward to enjoying this area with their own furry friend if they would like.
The community s location on McLean s Chain Bridge Road provides connectivity for residents and their families. Residents will be able to take advantage of daytrips to historic and cultural sites in Washington, D.C., visits to the region s many landscaped parks and nature preserves, and upscale shopping and fine dining at Tysons Corner.
Sunrise of McLean Village will join nearly 20 other operating Sunrise communities across the region. The last community to open in Northern Virginia was Sunrise of Fairfax, which opened in 2021 and won a 2022 Senior Living by Design Award from Argentum. Sunrise is also nearing the completion of Sunrise of Vienna, one of the town s first assisted living communities, which is scheduled to open later this year.

INDIAN LAND, SC – Argyle Real Estate Partners, a real estate investment firm focused on multifamily acquisitions in the Southeast and Texas, announced the acquisition of Indigo at Cross Creek in Indian Land, SC within the greater Charlotte MSA. Cadre, a real estate investment firm that has invested over $4B of real estate, serves as the joint venture partner on the deal.
“We’re pleased to partner with Cadre on such a quality, off-market opportunity,” said Ryan Reyes, CEO of Argyle. “Our objectives are aligned, and with Indigo at Cross Creek being so strategically located in the epicenter of such a robust submarket, it’s a great first venture for us to embark on together.”
A 303-unit community, Indigo at Cross Creek was built in 2017 and features spacious 1, 2, and 3-bedroom apartments with units averaging nearly 1,150 square feet. All units offer best-in-class amenities such as stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, tile backsplash, washer-dryer combos, 9′ ceilings, and bathrooms furnished with double vanities, while premium exterior amenities include a fully equipped resort-style pool with a cozy lounge/entertainment area featuring outdoor kitchens, a synthetic turf putting green, a bocce ball court, and a lavish clubhouse that offers access to both business and leisure resources for residents to enjoy.
Indigo is approximately 30 minutes from Uptown Charlotte and 10 minutes from the Ballantyne suburb, an affluent and highly desirable area with numerous major employers, top schools and trendy retail and restaurants.
“Charlotte has seen tremendous positive migration over the last several years given its explosive job growth and lower cost of living compared to other major cities with similar demographics,” said Mike Cacciatore, Principal for Argyle. “The Indian Land and Ballantyne submarkets have similarly experienced rapid growth during this same time period and are poised to continue doing so. These positive tailwinds made Indigo an attractive investment.”

NEW YORK, NY – Nuveen, the $1.1 trillion asset manager of TIAA, is acquiring a portfolio of assets from Omni Holding Company, a leading owner, operator and developer of affordable housing nationwide.
The Omni transaction positions Nuveen as one of the nation’s largest institutional managers of much-needed affordable housing. The deal increases the value of Nuveen’s affordable housing assets under management (AUM) to $6.4 billion and builds on the firm’s long history of responsible investing and stewardship in pursuit of attractive long-term returns for investors. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The acquisition of Omni also significantly expands Nuveen’s scope in affordable housing as the firm continues to preserve existing affordable housing units and protect at-risk units from market-rate conversion so residents can remain in their homes. Nearly all of Nuveen’s impact housing portfolio serves low-income residents earning 60% of area median income (AMI) or less.
“The acquisition strongly advances our ability to promote greater financial inclusivity, and health and wellness in communities that have lacked meaningful and lasting investment,” said Nadir Settles, Global Head of Impact Investing at Nuveen Real Estate. “Our strong commitment to affordable housing—and the communities where we are operating— is also a strong commitment to our clients, who are long-term supporters of this strategy.”
Nuveen is managing this newly acquired portfolio of assets for the TIAA General Account (GA) and for the benefit of retirement plan participants. Affordable housing is an important part of the GA’s impact investing strategy and is well suited to the GA’s diversified portfolio, which is built to deliver predictable returns over the long term.
Founded in 2004, Omni has acquired, rehabilitated or built 94 projects in the U.S. with more than 19,000 affordable housing units. The Omni portfolio is largely concentrated in the New York metro area, with more than 10,000 units located in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Long Island, and Newark, N.J.
“Our goal is to meaningfully invest in the preservation and expansion of high-quality affordable housing to support the well-being of rent-burdened residents within local communities,” said Pamela West, Senior Portfolio Manager of Impact Investing at Nuveen Real Estate. “With the Omni transaction, we can develop and manage properties across the U.S. and achieve the desired outcomes for residents and investors.”
With extensive experience investing in U.S. affordable housing dating back to 1992, Nuveen’s transaction with Omni comes amid a shortage of quality affordable housing and deepens the firm’s dedication to advancing change through impact investing.
The lack of affordable housing is a major economic and societal challenge, particularly as rent inflation outpaces income growth for mid- to low-income earners and the housing supply deficit continues into its second decade. Nearly half of U.S. renters are rent-burdened, meaning they are paying more than 30% of their income toward rent. Within this rent-burdened demographic, one in four renters are severely rent-burdened, meaning they pay more than 50% of their income toward rent.
“Demand for more affordable housing is intensifying nationwide, and investors increasingly are attuned to emerging opportunities to invest in housing that benefits society and also produces long-term positive and predictable performance,” said West.
As part of the transaction, Nuveen will acquire Omni’s best-in-class affordable housing capabilities in development, construction, maintenance, safety-technology and corporate functions to create an enhanced, vertically integrated affordable housing asset management business for Nuveen.
Over the last decade, Nuveen has invested substantially in affordable housing on behalf of the TIAA GA and third-party clients. As a result of the transaction and pending approvals of other related acquisitions, the TIAA GA is expected to own 161 affordable housing investments with approximately 32,000 units across 24 states valued at $6.4 billion.

AUSTIN, TX – Trinity Street Capital Partners announced the origination of a $110 million bridge loan for a multifamily community in Austin, Texas. The property had (656) one-bedroom and (184) two-bedroom garden-style units on a 29.1 acre campus in North Austin, with excellent visibility from I- 35. Amenities at the complex include a clubhouse, pool, gym, basketball court, playground, on-site leasing office and dog park.
Austin is the capital city of Texas, founded 1839 and is the 11th-most-populous city in the United States, the fourth-most-populous city in Texas. As of 2021, Austin had an estimated population of 964,177, and the city is the cultural and economic center of the Austin–Round Rock metropolitan statistical area, which had an estimated population of 2.3MM (2020), a roughly 84% increase from the year 2000.
A number of Fortune 500 companies have headquarters or regional offices in Austin, including 3M, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Amazon, Apple, Facebook (Meta), Google, IBM, Intel, NXP Semiconductors, Oracle, Tesla, Texas Instruments, Dell and Whole Foods Market. With regard to education, Austin is the home of the University of Texas at Austin, which is one of the largest universities in the U.S., with over 50,000 students.
According to a senior underwriter at Trinity Street, “The firm has stepped up to support the US commercial real estate markets in the mitts of a major upheaval, due to rising interest rates and an uncertain economic landscape. The recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and First Republic, will make the private lending institutions that much more critical to the commercial real estate markets. TSCP underwriting process takes a deep dive into property economics, market statistics and sponsorship, which allows TSCP to provide financing for strong clients at aggressive rates and leverage points.”

SAN MARCOS, CA – Affirmed Housing, a leading provider of affordable and supportive housing throughout California, announced that construction has commenced on Estrella, an approximately 79,510-square-foot, affordable housing development serving families in need in the City of San Marcos. The complex will provide 96 apartments to low income families earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Estrella is a win for the City of San Marcos and its citizens, said San Marcos Mayor Rebecca Jones. Between Estrella and the adjacent Alora development and working with outstanding community partners to help ensure smooth project delivery, we are adding nearly 200 units for working families and low-income residents – and all within walking distance of many public services, stores and other businesses. What s good for our more vulnerable residents is also good for the whole of San Marcos.
Estrella will be comprised of four residential buildings, each with a shared laundry facility, with a mixture of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments. Two three-bedroom units are reserved for Estrella s on-site property managers. A separate community building provides residents access to several shared amenities, including a kitchenette, computer room, barbecue area and bicycle parking. Four tot lots and a teen recreation area will also be incorporated on the site. The development s sustainable design will feature the latest energy-saving and water-wise technologies and best practices.
Once complete, this new housing development will contribute to families living well in North County. Twenty-five of the homes here will be set aside for extremely low-income families, said County of San Diego s Housing and Community Development Services Director David Estrella. Housing is health, and as the County s Health and Human Services Agency, we rely on strong partnerships to build healthy communities, and that s what we have here today with the City of San Marcos, Affirmed Housing, and so many other supportive partners.
A total of 171 parking spaces will be available, including eight that will be EV ready. All of Estrella s tenants will also have access to complimentary, on-site services intended to support families in need, including computer training and resume building resources and programs dedicated to health and wellness, financial literacy and parenting. A service coordinator will be present to organize and plan community-building activities, such as holiday events, for residents.
In addition to the conveniences and comfort Estrella will provide its occupants, the site is located in close proximity to several off-site resources that enhance seamless livability. Within walking distance are grocery stores, a pharmacy, a neighborhood library, public parks and access to public transportation. A middle school sits adjacent to the complex.
Housing and care are fundamental elements to maintaining the health and wellness of the region, and Estrella is a demonstration of the city and county s investment in its people, said Jimmy Silverwood, president for Affirmed Housing. Estrella provides affordable housing, infrastructure and recreational facilities to enhance the lives of hard-working families and individuals, as well as the broader community. We re proud to work with partners who share our vision of ensuring housing for all people.
Estrella follows the development of Alora, a separate, Affirmed Housing-produced affordable community currently under construction next door to Estrella. To boost the region s critically needed housing supply, Affirmed Housing demolished an existing 70-unit development on the property (formerly Mariposa) and recorded a new parcel map to make way for both projects. The redevelopment will result in a net gain of 66 new affordable apartments at Estrella and 60 new affordable apartments at Alora.
Affirmed Housing s development partners for Estrella include the City of San Marcos, the County of San Diego, WNC, Banner Bank, DAHLIN Group Architecture Planning, Masson and Associates, and form/work Landscape Architecture.
