BROOKLYN, NY – Canyon Partners Real Estate, Tavros Holdings, and Charney Companies announced their joint venture for the development of 585 Union Street, a 224-unit multifamily development located in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, a qualified opportunity zone.

Canyon’s investment marks Canyon’s eleventh qualified opportunity zone investment, totaling $1.2B of project capitalization.
“Gowanus’s industrial beauty and artistic character makes it one of the most exciting cultural hubs in New York City, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of its expansion,” said Nicholas Silvers, founding partner at Tavros. “We are looking forward to adding housing to such a dynamic neighborhood with the help of a capital partner who shares the same vision.”
585 Union Street is located in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.

Twenty-five percent of available units will be allocated to affordable housing and benefit from the Affordable New York housing program. In addition, the Project design will feature an entirely electric building, with flood resistant landscaping and plantings.
“The opportunity to make new rental homes in Gowanus, the most keenly anticipated neighborhood in Brooklyn, has been a journey of perseverance and challenging work, which has been supported by a world-class team of professionals, colleagues and of course, our financial partners,” added Sam Charney, Principal of Charney Companies. “This is yet one more step to 585 Union Street becoming a reality, and I couldn’t be more excited.”

HOUSTON, TX – 37th Parallel Properties announced 2022 transaction volume of $300 million, bringing their historical transaction totals to 10,000 units representing over $1 billion in value. The firm’s most recent transaction was Grand Reserve, a 291-unit, 2013-built community in Katy, one of the strongest submarkets in Houston. The asset was bought off-market by 37th Parallel on behalf of their investors and joint venture partner.
“2022 was an expansion year for 37th Parallel,” said Dan Chamberlain, Managing Partner. “We deepened our geographic presence, grew our team, and expanded our execution capabilities. We finished our record year with the acquisition of Grand Reserve in Katy, a submarket that is in the 97thpercentile for school quality and boasts a median household income of $142,000,” said Chamberlain.
The property features a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units with large floorplans averaging 933 square feet. Apartment and community amenities include nine-foot ceilings, private patios and balconies, resort-style swimming pool, as well as an impressive 141 attached and 69 detached garages.
Doug Fraser, who leads the acquisition efforts for 37th Parallel, said, “Two-thirds of our acquisitions in 2022 were sourced on an off-market basis, leveraging our strong closing track record and deep-rooted industry relationships to source the best available opportunities during a time of significant market volatility and uncertainty,” said Fraser.
This acquisition marks the ninth and final material investment from 37th Parallel’s inaugural fund, 37P – Fund I, which closed to new investment in early 2022. The Fund now has diversified investments in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. The firm launched its income and equity growth fund, 37P – Fund II, in September 2022. Fund II will use a similar strategy as Fund I, targeting value-add and core-plus multifamily real estate in dynamic growth markets in the Southeast and Texas.
The firm continued their ongoing portfolio optimization strategy in 2022. “Our persistent focus on maintaining a 100% profitable investor track record was highlighted even more by the negative public market experience for many stock and bond investors in 2022,” said Chad Doty, Managing Partner. “Our 2022 dispositions resulted in average annual yucky investor profit of 32.49%, and an average yucky multiple of 2.66x on initial investment. We look forward to 2023, which will be challenging, but should also provide opportunities for those who know how to invest conservatively in strong markets.”
