Pensam Residential, a national multi-housing owner and operator, is pleased to announce its acquisition of the leasehold interest in The Kennedy, a newly built Class-A, 306-unit garden style multifamily apartment community located in San Antonio, Texas.

Completed in 2017, The Kennedy is a best-in-market multifamily property located in Southeast San Antonio, Texas within the Brooks City-Base, a 1,300-acre master-planned community developed on the former Brooks Air Force Base.

The Kennedy marks Pensam Residential’s seventh investment in a multifamily asset in the greater San Antonio metro area since 2011.  The property will benefit from Pensam Residential’s submarket knowledge and experience in operating The Landings, a 300-unit multifamily property located immediately next to The Kennedy at Brooks City Base.

The Kennedy offers tenants spacious one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans averaging 925 square feet, with features such as private patios and balconies, walk-in closets, stainless steel appliances, and granite & quartz countertops.  Community amenities include a resort-style swimming pool, business center, 24-hour fitness center and a Starbucks coffee bar.

“Pensam Residential is very excited to start operations at The Kennedy as we have gained a lot of market knowledge through our experience in operating The Landings, allowing us to take advantage of the synergies in running two adjacent properties with complementary product offerings”, said Michael Stein, Founding Partner of Pensam Residential.

Josh Fuller, Director at Pensam Funding, will be participating in a panel discussion during the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council’s (CREFC) Commercial Real Estate Finance Summit in Santa Monica, CA on May 9, 2018.

Mr. Fuller will be featured in panel titled “B-Piece Investing: Evaluation of Long-Term Risk. v. Reward”.  Discussion topics include:

• How has increased investor demand repriced the risk appetite? Is demand alone driving the high level of liquidity in deep credit CMBS including single-B and below bonds?
• Has the lack of supply in one market (CMBS) turned to a surplus in others (CLO / Freddie)? Has it made people pivot their investment thesis?
• How has underwriting changed this late in the cycle on new issuance? Has there been a divergence in underwriting standards between CMBS and the Agencies? How do you look at deals differently knowing that you are the B buyer? How are groups pricing in risk for 5+ years with the speed of the deterioration of specific asset classes and markets over the last 5 years?
• Market share – self scout? Where is the comfort level in exposure? How have previous successes and failures affected your investment thesis going forward?

Other panelists include:

Darren Gluck, Head of B-Piece Acquisitions, Silverpeak Argentic
Jordan May, CMBS Investments, Prime Finance
Julio Siberio, Vice President, CMBS Portfolio Manager, PIMCO
