DALLAS, TX – Knightvest Capital, a vertically integrated multifamily investment firm, announced the acquisition of the Silicon Hills portfolio, three communities totaling 1,027 units in Round Rock, Texas within the Austin MSA. The successful close represents the 20th investment in Knightvest’s Fund II.
The bought portfolio includes Enclave at La Frontera, a 411-unit community built in 2004; Lakeside at La Frontera, a 366-unit community built in 2001; and Legends Lake Creek, a 250-unit community built in 2001. Enclave and Lakeside sit adjacent to one another within the La Frontera master-plotted mixed-use development in Round Rock, with Legends Lake Creek approximately six miles west in the Lakeline/Lake Creek submarket. The acquisition provides Knightvest the opportunity to add established communities and newer vintage assets at a completely reset basis in one of Austin’s strongest submarkets, where the firm can apply its operating and renovation expertise to reposition the portfolio.
Knightvest will deploy its management platform across all three communities and implement a comprehensive renovation program with plotted improvements to the exterior, common area amenities, and a subset of the unit interiors. Renovated unit interiors will feature modern finishes and quartz countertops aimed at positioning the property more competitively with newer construction in each area. As part of the renovation efforts, Knightvest will rename Enclave at La Frontera to Brixton, Lakeside at La Frontera to Calder, and Legends Lake Creek to Sutton.
“The Silicon Hills portfolio is a compelling opportunity to buy three well-located multifamily communities in one of Austin’s most desirable submarkets at a significant discount to both recent trades and replacement cost,” said David Moore, Founder and CEO of Knightvest. “Fund II was purpose-built to identify assets like these—properties we can renovate to a like-new standard while maintaining a substantially lower basis than nearly all comparable vintage communities and roughly half the cost of new construction.”
The portfolio sits in the heart of Northwest Austin’s Silicon Hills corridor, with convenient access to major employment centers, including Dell’s world headquarters in Round Rock which anchors the immediate area surrounding La Frontera. Additionally, Apple’s second Austin campus, The Domain, Samsung, Amazon, Texas Children’s Hospital, and other major technology, life sciences and healthcare employers within minutes of the properties. All three communities are zoned to the A-rated Round Rock Independent School District and draw on an affluent resident base with convenient access to major employment centers and premier retail.
Austin remains one of the fastest-growing large metros in the country, but recent challenges of oversupply and higher interest rates have forced owners and lenders to sell at significant discounts rather than continue operating and waiting for values to recover. That dislocation is what made this opportunity, and the acquisition is consistent with Knightvest’s strategy of adding well located communities below replacement cost and repositioning them with its in-house operating platform.

FORT COLLINS, CO – Hamilton Zanze, a leading San Francisco-based multifamily real estate investment firm, announced that it has sponsored the buy of The Seasons at Horsetooth Crossing, a 208-unit garden-style community in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Mission Rock Residential, an affiliate of Hamilton Zanze, has assumed management of the community, which sits along Horsetooth Road in south-central Fort Collins, minutes from Colorado State University, Foothills Mall and everyday shopping, with simple access to Highway 287 and Interstate 25.
“We are pleased to expand our presence in Fort Collins, where we already own and operate two communities,” said David Nelson, president and chief investment officer at Hamilton Zanze. “We know this corridor well through Pavilions at Silver Sage, which sits less than two miles north, and Seasons gives us more of what has worked there: large floor plans, a well-kept asset from a long-term owner and a location minutes from the city’s largest employers. With no new supply being built in the immediate area, we believe this community is well positioned for years to come.”
Situated at 1020 Wabash Street, The Seasons at Horsetooth Crossing offers one-, two- and three-bedroom homes across four floor plans, ranging from 700 to 1,260 square feet and averaging 1,038 square feet, among the largest average unit sizes in the submarket. Built in 1999, the low-density, two-tale community features nine- to 10-foot ceilings, full-size in-home washers and dryers, central heating and air, walk-in closets, dishwashers, ample storage and private patios or balconies.
Amenities at the pet-friendly community include a pool with sundeck, a 24-hour fitness center, resident clubhouse, landscaped courtyard, detached garages and professionally landscaped grounds.
The transaction represents Hamilton Zanze’s third sponsored acquisition of 2026. The company sponsored seven acquisitions in 2025.

OSWEGO, IL – JVM Realty Corp., a leading vertically integrated multifamily real estate investment and property management firm, announced that it has bought Springs at Oswego, a 280-unit luxury apartment community in Oswego, Illinois. The property was bought from Continental Properties and brokered by Cushman & Wakefield. JVM Realty rebranded the property from Springs at Oswego to Trillium at Oswego.
Located at 801 Fifth Street, the gated community was completed in 2019 and features townhome-style design across a collection of two-tale residential buildings. The property offers studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from approximately 623 to 1,430 square feet, providing one of the broadest selections of apartment homes in the surrounding market. Every residence features a private, ground-level entrance accessed directly from the outdoors, eliminating shared hallways, stairwells and elevators.
This acquisition reflects our continued confidence in suburban Chicago and the durable apartment market supporting the region, said Adam Small, Chief Investment Officer of JVM Realty. Strong occupancy, sustained renter demand and a limited pipeline of new supply continue to make a compelling environment for well-located, high-quality communities. Oswego also benefits from the long-term population and household growth occurring throughout Kendall County. We believe the property s distinctive townhome-style design, diverse floor-plot offering and private-entry living experience position it exceptionally well within the market.
Apartment homes feature open-concept kitchens with granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances and islands or breakfast bars; wood-style flooring; walk-in closets; in-unit, full-size washers and dryers; private patios or balconies; and attached or detached garage options in select homes.
Residents also delight in resort-style community amenities, including a heated swimming pool; a 24-hour fitness center; a clubhouse with lounge and entertainment areas; outdoor grilling stations; a fire pit; a car wash; and gated access. The property also offers a comprehensive pet program featuring two dog parks, a pet spa and no pet weight restrictions.
Trillium at Oswego strengthens our presence in a market we already know extremely well and brings JVM s Illinois portfolio to eight active communities, said Jay Madary, president and CEO of JVM Realty. With 22 communities across the greater Midwest, we have built an operating platform that allows us to make efficiencies, share expertise across markets and deliver consistent execution at scale. Our in-house property management, revenue management, marketing and technology capabilities will enable us to enhance the resident experience, strengthen the property s competitive position and make long-term value for our investors.
Located in Chicago s southwestern suburbs, Oswego provides residents with convenient access to employment, shopping, dining and recreation throughout Kendall, Kane, DuPage and Will counties. The community is near the Route 34 retail corridor and offers connectivity to the broader Chicagoland region, including major employment centers along the Interstate 88 corridor. The area s continued household growth, strong quality of life and comparatively limited multifamily development pipeline support sustained demand for professionally managed rental housing.
Springs at Oswego is exactly the type of asset investors are targeting today — a newer community in a high-demand submarket with limited new supply. Oswego s A-rated schools, strong household incomes, and favorable property tax environment is the triple threat for a suburban Chicago multifamily investment, said Brad Smith, Managing Director, Cushman & Wakefield Midwest Multifamily Advisory Group. It was a pleasure working with JVM on an efficient and seamless transaction. This successful closing is a testament to the strong partnership between JVM, Continental Properties, and our Cushman & Wakefield team.
The acquisition represents JVM s fourth transaction with Continental Properties and builds upon a relationship that also includes Wrenfield at Pleasant View in Madison, Wisconsin, a community JVM bought in November 2025. The community s low-density design and private-entry residences complement JVM s portfolio of high-quality suburban apartment properties throughout the Midwest.
Springs at Oswego has played an vital role in Continental Properties growth across the Chicago metropolitan area and reflects our commitment to developing high-quality communities, said Aaron Konop, Finance Director at Continental Properties. We are proud of the community and resident experience our team established in Oswego, and we are confident JVM Realty s operational expertise will position it for continued success.
