Emma at Arabella Village – Phase I

Emma at Arabella Village Phase I is a 66-lot Build-to-Rent project in Huntsville, Alabama, within our BTR allocation (70% of the fund).

Community Development

Emma at Arabella Village Phase I is located in Huntsville, Alabama, and consists of 66 lots within a larger master-planned community. Originally planned as a lot delivery project, we pivoted to combine Phases I and III into a fully amenitized Build-to-Rent (BTR) community.

This phase will feature newly developed townhomes that align with our broader strategy of creating long-term value, while also delivering much-needed rental housing to a growing market.

As part of the fund’s 70% BTR allocation, this project demonstrates the strength of our vertically integrated approach, giving us the flexibility to adjust strategies based on market conditions and maximize returns for our investors.

Project Updates

At any given time, our portfolio includes projects in different phases—acquisition, development, stabilization, and exit. That’s by design. This staggered structure allows us to generate consistent cash flow while building long-term value, freeing us to sell, hold, or refinance based on what the market demands, not arbitrary dates.

Here’s where our projects stand today.
