DALLAS, TX – Knightvest Capital, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm, announced the acquisition of Arlo Buffalo Heights apartments in Houston, Texas. The transaction marks the tenth acquisition in Knightvest’s Fund II and further solidifies the firm’s footprint in the Neartown-River Oaks submarket, where Knightvest owns and operates multiple communities.
Originally built in 2014, the 318-unit wrap-style community is well positioned in one of Houston’s most desirable urban submarkets and is walkable to some of the city’s most well loved restaurants and entertainment venues. Knightvest will implement a comprehensive renovation program to elevate the property to a level that competes with newer construction in the area. Plotted improvements include full unit interior upgrades, a relocated leasing center, and extensive amenity enhancements. As part of the renovation efforts, Knightvest has renamed the community to Whitmore.
“With this acquisition, we’re continuing to expand a focused portfolio of well-located assets that are roughly 10 to 20 years ancient across major Sun Belt markets,” said David Moore, Knightvest founder and CEO. “Our proven experience in the Neartown-River Oaks submarket provides a strong foundation for executing the business plot at Whitmore, and it reflects the kind of opportunity we’re targeting as we continue to do our strategy for Fund II.”
Houston remains one of the country’s fastest-growing cities, and this momentum will continue to fuel demand for high-quality housing at a discount to new construction in desirable locations like that of the Neartown-River Oaks area.

ALAMEDA, CA – The Housing Authority of the City of Alameda (AHA) held a public event to celebrate the “Grand Opening” of the Estuary I and Linnet Corner. The event featured speakers from various AHA partners including Alameda County Supervisor (Lena Tam) and the City Manager from the City of Alameda (Jennifer Ott). The Grand Opening was open to the public, surrounding neighbors and families. AHA has been plotting and coordinating the development at North Housing for over a decade.
In early 2024, AHA started construction on both Estuary I and Linnet Corner. Residents started go-ins at Estuary I in July 2025 and Linnet Corner residents started moving in during September 2025. These 109 newly developed affordable rental homes are contained in two separate buildings and represent the first housing communities in AHA’s North Housing Master Plot.
North Housing is a multi-year commitment for the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda, along with its development affiliate, Island City Development to make over 500+ affordable rental homes to serve low-income Alamedans. The twelve acres allocated for North Housing are situated at the former US Naval Air Station (NAS) base and was granted to the Housing Authority (in 2019), via the Surplus Land Act, by the U.S. Department of Navy, with support of the Alameda Point Collaborative and Building Futures for Women and Children. Prior to Navy ownership, the land was owned by AHA and housed families of workers at the naval base.
Estuary I is the City of Alameda’s first new construction 100% permanent supportive housing community for previously homeless persons and features 45 units (a mix of 20 one bedroom apartments, 24 studio apartments, and two-bedroom manager unit). Estuary 1 opened in late July and is fully occupied with all 45 units filled with residents. Linnet Corner houses seniors (ages 62+ and older) and features 64 units (a mix of 40 studio units, 23 one-bedroom units, and two-bedroom manager unit). Sixteen of the 64 units at Linnet Corner are reserved for U.S. military veterans who are seniors, previously homeless, and disabled. Linnet Corner opened in early September and is currently in the process of leasing up all units.
Kerry Deichen, a Market Executive from Bank of America N.A. which is a major funder for North Housing states “It’s so exciting to be part of the incredible transformation of the former Naval Air Station into much needed affordable housing and supportive services for working families, seniors and formerly homeless individuals. Bank of America provided construction financing and serves as the tax credit investor with Enterprise Community Partners for both Estuary I and Linnet Corner with the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda. This has been a right public-private partnership with city, county, state and federal partners working together to bring much needed new affordable housing to the East Bay region.”
AHA has invested $8.6 million dollars of its own funds and has allocated 80 Project Based Vouchers towards Linnet Corner and Estuary I. “The Housing Authority is excited to open the first two properties at North Housing after ten plus years of commitment to provide urgently needed housing for low-income populations that include people with disabilities, previously homeless, military veterans, and seniors.” stated Vanessa Cooper, AHA Executive Director.
Besides the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda, other funders for this project include Bank of America, N.A., Enterprise Community Investments, the California Community Reinvestment Corporation, the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC), the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC), the California Municipal Finance Authority (CMFA), the California Department of Veteran Affairs (Cal Vet), the Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2018 (Proposition 1), the Infill Infrastructure Grant Program (IIG), the Multifamily Housing Program (MHP), the Veterans Housing and Homelessness Prevention program (VHHP) through the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), the Alameda Affordable Housing Trust Fund operated by the Alameda Affordable Housing Corporation, the City of Alameda (HOME, Community Block Development Grant, Permanent Local Housing Allocation, and Inclusionary Housing funds), the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco’s (FHLBSF) Affordable Housing Program (AHP), the Bank of Marin, and the Home Depot Foundation). The County of Alameda provides funding case management services through the Cal-AIM program. Island City Development is the developer of this project and the Housing Authority of the City of Alameda owns the land. The architect for Linnet Corner and The Estuary I is HKIT Architects. The General Contractor is J.H. Fitzmaurice.
