“This acquisition will allow us to grow our presence in Houston and fits our overall business plan perfectly,” said Javier Bustillo, 29th Street Capital’s senior vice president of acquisitions for Texas. “These are value-add assets in a great submarket with excellent schools, plentiful employment and very limited new supply. It checks all of the boxes for 29SC.”

29th Street Capital acquired the assets from a regional owner on an off-market basis. Renovations worth $1.6 million are in the planning phase and will include a new appliance package, microwaves, kitchen lights and accent walls and exterior improvements.

Both properties are within the Clear Creek Independent School District, which is ranked the best large school district in the Houston MSA. It is located directly on the I-45 corridor linking it to Galveston Island and the Houston CBD. Major employers in the area include companies in the high tech aerospace, petrochemical, tourism, boating and recreation industries.

“Residents of the area value the high quality of life, suburban lifestyle, economic opportunities, low crime rates, excellent schools and short commute times relative to the greater Houston area,” Bustillo added.
