Hilltop Residential Continues Texas Expansion

Regalia Mansfield

Hilltop Residential has acquired two multifamily assets in Texas: the 308-unit Regalia Mansfield in Mansfield and the 291-unit Grand Reserve in Katy, continuing its momentum from last year. According to Yardi Matrix data, Luxe Residential sold the first asset, while the seller for the latter community was SouthStar Properties.

Tarrant County public records show Hilltop bought Regalia Mansfield in a joint venture with Artemis Real Estate Partners and received a $32 million, four-year loan from Jackson National Life Insurance Co. Per Fort Bend County recorded documents, Grand Reserve was purchased in partnership with Angelo, Gordon & Co., while Wells Fargo Bank originated an undisclosed loan for the new owners. The debt is set to mature in 2024 and includes a one-year extension provision.
