Polaris Real Estate Partners Acquires 201-Unit Sylvan Thirty Apartment Community in West Dallas Mixed-Use Neighborhood

DALLAS, TX – Arc Capital Partners announced the sale of Sylvan Thirty Apartments, a 201-unit multifamily property located in the West Dallas submarket, to San Francisco-based Polaris Real Estate Partners. The sale to a national buyer shows the strong demand for well-priced apartments in urban mixed-use neighborhoods and validates the work Arc has done to improve the property and make value.
Sylvan Thirty was built in 2015 and is the first mixed-use retail and multifamily development in the West Dallas submarket. The initial development was a public-private partnership that was partially funded with tax increment financing (TIF) incentives, which provided for 20 percent of the units to be set aside for affordable workforce housing. Consistent with its urban strategy, Arc bought the multifamily part of the development in 2017 in partnership with Belay Investment Group.
Since the acquisition, Arc has made multiple investments to continuously upgrade the property and maintain the strong tenant base. The property is LEED-certified and eco-friendly, offering tenants a full suite of walkable amenities. Sylvan Thirty is especially well loved among younger professionals seeking unique urban living experiences, thanks to the immediate access to walkable retailers, as well as its close proximity to trendy neighborhoods including Bishop Arts District and Trinity Groves. Sylvan Thirty is also just a small drive or rideshare from Downtown Dallas and several major transit routes.
We take fantastic pride in being a catalyst for inspiring greater interest and demand for West Dallas, a reversal of historical disinvestment in this community, said Neville Rhone Jr., Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Arc. The sale of Sylvan Thirty validates our strategy of supporting multicultural, urban mixed-use neighborhoods while delivering an enhanced experience that is both eco-sensitive and workforce affordable.
Sylvan Thirty is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use environment that provides attainably affordable apartments and truly walkable amenities for a multicultural cross-section of young professionals, said Quincy Allen, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Arc. Our investments in common area and unit upgrades were rewarded by incredible tenant retention and improved demand despite initial pandemic setbacks.
Belay is pleased with the outcome from the sale of Sylvan Thirty, said Eliza Bailey, Managing Principal at Belay Investment Group. We are proud of the hard work and dedication by Arc to improve and position this property, resulting in a notable sale that justifies the increased interest in this neighborhood.
Drew Kile of Institutional Property Advisors (IPA) and his team represented Arc. In a separate transaction, a real estate fund advised by Crow Holdings Capital bought the retail part of Sylvan Thirty.

Comprised of one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans, a select number of the property’s unit interiors were fully modernized with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, wood plank-style flooring, contemporary lighting, and new bathroom vanities. Common area amenity and hallway spaces were upgraded to showcase modern design and feature premium equipment, fixtures, and furniture.

MWest repainted the entire property, providing a striking visual lift to the exterior facade.
The Enclave is the only 50+ unit apartment development in the city of Paramount in the last 30 years and one of only three 200+ unit communities in the market area.

We look forward to welcoming new residents home early next year and continue to seek out new opportunities to bring our unique brand of high-end living to additional locations throughout the Research Triangle.”
