Peakline Real Estate Funds has entered the build-to-rent market for the first time with the launch of its Real Estate BTR Fund I. This new fund will address the growing demand in high-demand, low-supply rental markets, focusing on areas where rental housing is scarce yet highly sought after.

It will target regions across the Southeast, Mountain West, and Midwest. Peakline said in a statement that it will emphasize "upscale" suburban areas "with strong public school systems, employment hubs, retail and entertainment access, and high tenant demand."

The fund will team up with sponsors familiar with the local regions to create single-family rental communities. Already, Peakline has singled out more than 1,600 units across multiple projects for possible investment. It's unclear how much money the fund plans to raise or invest. Jason Ross, managing director at Peakline, is leading the efforts on the investment pool.
