HOUSTON—Investors maintain the push into Houston's suburbs as occupancy rates continue to exceed incoming supply. Submarkets such as Katy/Cinco Ranch/Waterside reflect this trend in the commercial real estate market, with newly built apartments offering high-end amenities and office campuses boasting compelling price points for new construction, GlobeSt.com learns. In addition, the Grand Parkway has injected life into the Katy market.
A couple of recent transactions exemplify these trends. Grand Mason at Waterside Estates, a 229-unit garden-style community located in Richmond, TX, recently sold at an undisclosed price. The seller was Grand Mason Partners Ltd., a partnership sponsored by BC Realty Partners out of Dallas, and the Betz Companies, a commercial real estate firm based in Houston. The buyer is a real estate investment, operation and development company based in Fort Worth.
Berkadia's Houston office represented the seller. The professionals involved include senior managing director Ryan Epstein, director Jennifer Ray and associate director Scott Bray.
