The property, located adjacent to Metro s Rockville Station on the Red Line, will be branded as Momentum @ Rockville Station and is slated to deliver well over 100 affordable housing units to the community.
The City of Rockville is working to expand housing options to help support the everyday heroes of our community, including teachers, firefighters, police offices, health professional staff, and other people who help our city, county, and state run, said Monique Ashton, Mayor of Rockville. We look forward to working with this joint venture [Comstock and SCG] to create more high-quality, transit-oriented, affordable housing that provides a safe place for residents to thrive.
SCG is a respected leader in affordable housing development that specializes in community-centered housing solutions. They have been involved in the successful development of more than 100 properties across the United States, including Momentum @ Shady Grove, a similar affordable housing project developed by SCG and Comstock that sits adjacent to the Shady Grove Metro station and was delivered in 2020.
Comstock and SCG entered into a definitive purchase agreement for Comstock 41, which was acquired by a subsidiary of Comstock in late 2023 for approximately $1.5 million. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, Comstock and SCG will enter into an operating agreement and a development agreement, under which Comstock will provide development management services to the joint venture. The Company will also be entitled to provide property management services once the development is ready for occupancy. The Comstock 41 transaction is expected to close upon approval of the construction plans by the City of Rockville. Financing will be arranged by SCG once the plans are approved.
SCG is excited to announce the launch of Momentum at Rockville Station, which is currently in the planning and entitlement stages, said Steven P. Wilson, President, SCG Development. The development will provide much-needed affordable housing that is close to retail and office space and walkable to the Rockville Metro Station. As we navigate the planning and approval process, we are fully committed to collaborating with Comstock and local government officials to ensure the project s success.
Comstock and SCG will work closely together with the City of Rockville to secure approvals needed to maximize the number of affordable units the joint venture will deliver to the heart of Rockville Town Center. This adheres to the project s vision to meet the City of Rockville s growing housing needs and underscores the ongoing commitment of Comstock and SCG to provide accessibility to affordable, transit-oriented housing options that help foster community growth.
We are thrilled to once again partner with SCG to deliver more high-quality, transit-oriented, affordable housing to Montgomery County s fast-growing population, said Christopher Clemente, Comstock s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Knightvest Capital Expands Presence in Central Texas with Acquisition of 308-Unit Apartment Community in Northeast San Antonio Market
SAN ANTONIO, TX – Knightvest Capital, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm, announced the acquisition of Arya Grove Apartments in Northeast San Antonio. With this acquisition, Knightvest now has an established portfolio of six assets in San Antonio. The close of Arya Grove Apartments represents the third acquisition in Knightvest s Fund II. Knightvest has established a steady acquisitions pipeline for its second fund and has additional acquisitions planned to close near year-end and early 2025.
Originally built in 2006, the 308-unit property is situated along the outer Loop 1604 in the rapidly growing Live Oak and Universal City areas. Knightvest has extensive experience operating in this submarket, having renovated and operated a comparable community within 2 miles of Arya Grove. Knightvest plans to renovate the apartment units in addition to making enhancements to the common areas and amenities of the property. As part of the renovation, Knightvest will rename the community to Sagebrush Apartments.
We re increasingly optimistic about the overall market right now, and this marks our second acquisition in the past month as we continue to execute our strategy of investing in multifamily communities from the 2000 s and renovating them to a level that would be comparable to new construction, said David Moore, Knightvest founder and CEO. The proximity to a successful project nearby, combined with the impressive regional growth trends, made this opportunity initially intriguing, and we re excited to expand our growing portfolio across Central Texas with the addition of Sagebrush Apartments.
The Northeast San Antonio submarket offers a unique opportunity, as the region has experienced rapid growth with less multifamily construction compared to neighboring Northwest and Far North San Antonio. Additionally, the proximity of Sagebrush Apartments to the major highway interchange of I-35 and Loop 1604, makes it well-positioned to benefit from ongoing growth between Austin and San Antonio, contributing to the larger Texas Triangle s expansion. Over the past four years, San Antonio alone has seen an influx of 40,000 new residents annually, underscoring the region s attractiveness and Knightvest s confidence in the long-term potential of the area.
