Southern Realty Trust Inc. (“SRT” or the “Company”) today announced that it originated and agented a senior loan in the aggregate amount of $35.2 million for the refinance of Jovie Belterra (the “Project”), a 150-unit 55+ age-restricted active adult multi-family rental development in the Greater Austin area, southwest of downtown Austin. Spanning over 140,000+ net rentable square feet, the Project is nestled in the Belterra Master Planned Community in Dripping Springs of Hays County in Austin’s Hill Country, one of the most sought-after and fastest-growing counties in Texas, ranking among the top in growth in the United States over the past decade.

The sponsor, Wilson Capital, is an Austin-based real estate developer specializing in the development of multi-family communities in Central Texas. The Project is comprised of two buildings featuring 150 apartments, along with a suite of resort-style, lifestyle focused amenities. One building has already been completed with the full Project expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2024.

“This investment aligns with our strategic thesis of supporting experienced sponsors in high-growth Southern markets,” said Brian Sedrish, Chief Executive Officer of Southern Realty Trust, adding, “The limited supply of active adult rentals in Texas positions this Project to meet a significant demand which we believe will generate a strong risk-adjusted return for our investors. We are excited to work with Wilson Capital on this Project and look forward to expanding our relationship with strong sponsors, like Wilson, in the future.”

SRT will hold $21.1 million of the deal, while $14.1 million was syndicated to an affiliate.
