DALLAS, TX. (March 13, 2020) - Olive Tree Property Holdings LLC (“Olive Tree”), a New Yorkbased owner/operator of workforce multifamily communities nationwide, has announced theacquisition of Rosemont at Oak Hollow, a 153-unit affordable rental community located in SouthDallas.This marked Olive Tree’s 24th acquisition since inception and 8th in the state of Texas.Rosemont, built in 2002, is attractively situated in the Cedar Crest area of the South Dallassubmarket. The area is a strong employment center with growth stemming from expansion in thetransportation/logistics, commerce, telecommunication, technology, energy, healthcare/medicalresearch, and banking sectors.“We purchased this asset directly from the owner at a very favorable discount relative toreplacement cost with the intent to continue to operate the property in accordance with the rentaffordability guidelines set forth by the State of Texas. The price gap between in-place rents andthe maximum allowable ceiling is such that we’ll be able to meaningfully grow bottom lineperformance while still being able to offer a very high value proposition for renters earning lessthan 60% of area median income. This asset represents Olive Tree’s continued investment inaffordable housing in the United States, which is significantly under-supplied in all major markets,”said Olive Tree’s Managing Partner, Ian Bel.Olive Tree has made significant investments in its affordable housing platform and in the last 12months have recruited Vice Presidents Brennan Sanders and Nathan Purath, who have over 20years of combined experience in structuring acquisition and rehabilitation financing within layeredtransactions to ensure both adequate construction funding and preservation of affordable rentlevels, including: Tax-Exempt Bonds, 4% LIHTC, state and local affordable housing funding,Section 8, and 202 Contracts, FHA, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae Debt executions.Ian Bel continued, “Olive Tree’s thesis is rooted on our ability to identify and then successfullyacquire fundamentally sound but underperforming assets located in high growth markets wherewe can then leverage our in-house operating platform to systematically improve operatingperformance and elevate living standards for residents. It’s a formula that has consistentlyproduced above-market returns for our investment partners while creating a higher sense of prideand community for the families living at our properties.”Dallas-Fort Worth is home to over 22 Fortune 500 companies which is the 3rd largestconcentration in the country, trailing only New York City and Chicago.
