CHANDLER, AZ – TGM announced the acquisition of TGM Ocotillo Bay, a lakefront community in the Ocotillo Master Plot, an upscale residential enclave with outstanding recreational amenities. The 296-unit garden style community with resort-inspired Spanish architecture and unique lakefront setting has a low-density site plot over 19 acres.
This acquisition marks TGM’s reentry into Phoenix, a market in which TGM has invested in the past, acquiring and disposing of approximately 2,300 units. TGM Ocotillo Bay is managed by TGMs’ property management company, TGM Communities LLC.
TGM Ocotillo Bay is within a mile of the Price Road Corridor, largest high-tech employment hub in Arizona, including Intel’s largest manufacturing facility in the world. TGM believes Chandler has some of the strongest fundamentals of the Phoenix submarkets because of its convenient access to desirable live/work/play opportunities. In addition to having the number 1 school district in the state of Arizona, Chandler ranked at number 37 in Fortune’s 2024 “50 Best Places to Live for Families” list, the sole Arizona city to make the cut. The City of Chandler is one of the most financially stable cities in the United States, which is reflected in the city receiving AAA ratings from each of the major bond rating agencies (Temperamental’s, S&P Global, Fitch from 2023 through June 2024).
Completed in 1997 and partially renovated in 2015, we believe the design, layout and construction of the apartments are brilliant with one- two- and three-bedroom apartments. TGM will be undertaking renovations of apartment interiors with new kitchen cabinets, countertops, appliances, flooring, lighting, and hardware fixtures. Bathrooms will be renovated to match the finishes of the kitchen. Community amenities include two swimming pools with sundecks and grills, a landscaped entertainment courtyard with bocce ball, an outdoor fireplace, lounge, and grill area, a contemporary fitness center with yoga/spinning room, and lake views from many buildings and amenity areas. TGM plans to transform the current clubhouse with modern, state-of-the-art amenities.
“We believe TGM Ocotillo Bay is an brilliant community with exceptional bones and an irreplaceable lakefront location. The community presented the ideal opportunity to re-enter the Phoenix market,” said TGM’s Managing Principals Zach Goldman and John Gochberg. “We look forward to implementing our signature renovation strategy to add value for our residents and investors alike.”

AUSTIN, TX – Hunt Capital Partners (HCP), in collaboration with developers SGI Ventures, Inc., and Austin Affordable Housing Corporation (AAHC), a nonprofit subsidiary of the Housing Authority of the City of Austin, celebrated the grand opening of Cady Lofts, a 100% Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) community that offers housing stability to individuals who are experiencing chronic homelessness or have a disability that makes finding stable, affordable housing hard to find. Cady Lofts adds 100 studio homes, supported by project-based vouchers, which will help in covering residents rents and utilities, helping to alleviate financial burdens and promote long-term stability for residents. Residents will also benefit from free onsite support services and case managers.
To mark the special occasion, speeches were provided by key partners, city officials, and a resident including SGI Ventures, Inc. President Sally Gaskin, Austin City Mayor Kirk Watson, Housing Authority of the City of Austin President and CEO Mike Gerber, City of Austin District 9 Councilmember Zo Qadri, City of Austin Housing Interim Director Mandy de Mayo, and City of Austin Homeless Strategy Officer David Gray. The grand opening was followed by presentations and light refreshments.
HACA, and its subsidiary AAHC, are fully committed to efforts to end homelessness in Austin, said HACA President and CEO Michael Gerber. Collaborative projects like Cady Lofts, coupled with our commitments of housing vouchers and our partnerships with city leaders, and services agencies and philanthropic partners, are essential to securing stable housing and offering social and medical services to our most vulnerable populations.
In 2023, Austin Point-in-Time Count, an annual federally mandated count that captures the number of individuals experiencing homelessness, revealed a total of 2,374 individuals—of which 41.8% were facing homelessness for the first time. Cady Lofts is a part of a citywide initiative to tackle the urgent housing needs of chronically homeless individuals, serving as one of nine PSH projects launched in the past year to provide effective housing solutions for Austin s most vulnerable residents.
Each studio home is fully furnished, featuring resilient flooring, solid surface kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities, air conditioning units, low-flow plumbing fixtures, along with Energy Star-rated appliances such as a stovetop, refrigerator, and microwave. The property includes central laundry, a computer lab, an outdoor courtyard, free wireless internet, elevators, a community warming kitchen, on-site recycling, and on-site offices with meeting/training rooms that can accommodate up to eight case management workers for service coordination. The property has 24/7 controlled access and full-time onsite staff.
Cady Lofts offers a range of wraparound services guided by Housing First best practices, which promote self-sufficiency and overall independence. Provided free-of-charge to residents by Endeavors, these services include access to benefits help, health screenings, job training, and a variety of classes ranging from fitness and nutrition classes to personal finance and tax preparation.
As a longtime affordable housing developer, I recognized the critical need for Cady Lofts to be permanent supportive housing—addressing not just affordability but specifically serving our chronically homeless neighbors, said SGI Ventures, Inc. President Sally Gaskin. Cady Lofts will advance our citywide PSH goals while offering residents stable housing in a walkable, transit-rich location where they can fully participate in central Austin s resources and amenities.
The development is strategically located in an opportunity-rich area near essential amenities and public transportation, offering residents simple access to jobs, healthcare, and educational resources without needing to drive. Cady Lofts is proximate to over 30,000 jobs within a one-mile radius and is within walking distance to high-frequency bus stops, St. Davids Medical Center, and the Hancock Shopping Center which includes an HEB and a CommUnityCare Walk-In Clinic.
Cady Lofts provides a much-needed lifeline for Austin s unhoused community, offering crucial support through its PSH model, said HCP Chief Operating Officer Amy Dickerson. By providing not only stable, affordable housing but also comprehensive support services, Cady Lofts addresses the multifaceted challenges of its residents, which include mental health issues and unemployment. This holistic approach fosters a sense of belonging and stability, which are essential to re-establish roots with the community.
Cady Lofts was financed, in part, with $16.5 million in federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTCs) and $2 million in state LIHTCs syndicated by HCP. Lenders included Cadence Bank, the City of Austin, Central Texas Housing Accelerator Fund, Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, Austin Affordable Housing Corporation, and Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation.

WINTER GARDEN, FL – Ashcroft Capital, a fully integrated multifamily investment firm, announced its acquisition of Birchstone Waterleigh, a luxury garden-style community in Winter Garden, Fla. Birchstone Residential, Ashcroft Capital’s in-house property management and construction management company, is now providing services for the residents of the community, which was built in 2023.
The Class-A Birchstone Waterleigh (formerly Ascend Waterleigh Club) features 300 apartment homes and is located in the 22,000-acre Horizon West, one of the fastest-growing master-plotted communities in the country. The community becomes Ashcroft’s second multifamily property in Winter Garden (the company bought the adjacent Halston Waterleigh in late summer 2024) and its seventh in metro Orlando. The acquisition was completed through a joint venture that includes Temerity Strategic Partners and Pearlmark.
“Birchstone Waterleigh is a Class-A luxury community with high-end interior design and resort-like amenities,” said Frank Roessler, founder and CEO of Ashcroft. “This acquisition is another step in our ongoing pursuit of high-quality assets, and we could not be more excited to add this property to our portfolio. We continue to remain bullish on Orlando in general and Winter Garden in particular. When you combine the strong renter demand in this market with limited future apartment deliveries, it makes the exact opportunity we are seeking. Properties like this allow us to lean into our focus on brilliant customer service with an emphasis on resident satisfaction and retention.”
Located at 9405 Ascend Falls Drive, Birchstone Waterleigh features one-, two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from 782 to 1,563 square feet. Community amenities include a resort-style saltwater pool, coworking lounge, 24-hour fitness center, enclosed dog park, 24-hour emergency maintenance service, game lounge, outdoor barbecue grills and dining areas, parcel lockers with 24-hour access, EV charging station and housekeeping services. Homes feature stainless steel appliances, built-in microwaves, hardwood-style flooring, full-size washers and dryers, modern lighting, ceiling fans, gray quartz counters and walk-in closets.
“Ultimately, we were attracted to Birchstone Waterleigh for multiple reasons,” said Scott Lebenhart, chief investment officer of Ashcroft Capital. “In addition to its obvious caliber, the community sits in a submarket that will see limited competitive new multifamily supply in the future because of its location in Horizon West and the restrictions of the master-plotted community. Also, given its proximity to Halston Waterleigh and our other communities in the Orlando area, Birchstone Waterleigh should further enable us to make economies of scale and operational efficiencies in central Florida. Finally, the community is located in a top-rated school district that serves as a powerful draw for renters.”
“Birchstone Waterleigh represents a fantastic opportunity to buy a high-quality, stabilized asset directly from the developer within the in-demand Horizon West master plot,” said Stephen Quazzo, CEO and co-founder of Pearlmark. “The property also benefits from its proximity to Walt Disney World, top-rated schools, and will benefit from Birchstone Residential’s experience in the market. Pearlmark is proud to buy this best-in-class investment with our like-minded joint venture partners.”
