TWO Capital and RAM Partners Forge Strategic Partnership to Deliver Over 2,300 BTR Homes in Southeast

Wed, 08 Nov 2023 17:35:29 GMT

TWO Capital Partners, a leading real estate investment and development firm, and RAM Partners, an award-winning property management company, have joined forces to revolutionize the Build-to-Rent sector with the launch of a groundbreaking partnership.

Together, they are set to deliver more than a dozen Build-to-Rent single-family communities across the Southeastern United States over the next two years, totaling over 2,300 homes.

The Build-to-Rent sector is experiencing unprecedented demand, fueled by a robust labor market and the challenges first-time home buyers face in the for-sale housing market. Families, particularly young ones, are drawn to the allure of a house with a yard, a two-car garage and more space than traditional apartments.

Under the Tessa brand, TWO Capital's communities are uniquely positioned to meet this demand, offering an effective solution with the cost of living being 30% lower than owning a home with current mortgage rates, coupled with the added advantage of a zero-maintenance lifestyle.

"TWO Capital Partners has strategically acquired development sites close to major thoroughfares, providing convenient access to interstates and key employment centers for our Tessa single-family rental communities," said co-founder and Managing Partner Ralph B. Wilson III. "By partnering with RAM Partners, we offer our residents first-rate, maintenance-free living with resort-level amenities and services. It's a perfect match for our brand and our residents."

Under this collaboration, Tessa Barrow Crossing, the inaugural community, has welcomed its first residents. Located at 116 Dolcetto Drive in Winder, Ga., Tessa Barrow Crossing is a 235-unit townhome community with concierge services, a pet park & dog spa, a sparkling pool, co-working space, a state-of-the-art fitness center and ample greenspace with outdoor gathering places.

Each home features luxury finishes, Latch Smart Home technology, private garages and private outdoor spaces.

RAM Partners is one of the largest residential management companies in the country, managing over 85,000 units across 22 states. With a commitment to superior service, RAM Partners has earned recognition for its dedication to creating exceptional living experiences for residents.

"As longstanding partners with TWO Capital, our collaboration has been instrumental in developing the exceptional amenity set for Tessa communities and establishing a resident-first culture for our guests," said Brenda Lindner, Executive Vice President and Managing Partner, RAM Partners. "We are thrilled to serve the Build-to-Rent demographic, many of whom are our former apartment renters ready for the next stage of their lives."

TWO Capital has a proven track record of developing, acquiring, leasing, managing and financing real estate assets exceeding $1 billion across the Southeastern United States.

The firm currently has five Build-To-Rent communities under construction, totaling 947 units across North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, alongside a pipeline of six additional Tessa-branded communities throughout the Southeastern United States.

565 Hank in Summerhill 80% Leased, RAM Partners Announces

Wed, 15 Dec 2021 13:47:50 GMT

Record-Breaking Momentum of New Class-A Multifamily Project in One

of Atlanta’s Oldest Neighborhoods Early Proof of Development’s Success

Atlanta (Nov. 15, 2021) — 565 Hank in Summerhill, the new Class A multifamily property that serves as the gateway to one of Atlanta's oldest neighborhoods, is 80% leased with a projected stabilization date by year-end, RAM Partners announced today.

The speed and momentum of the lease-up is unprecedented in an emerging market. 565 Hank, developed by Atlanta-based developer Carter, anchors the 80-acre redevelopment of the former Turner Field property, now owned by Georgia State University and Carter.

The 306-unit luxury building is situated alongside Georgia Avenue, Carter’s redeveloped retail corridor featuring restaurants from award-winning chefs and restaurateurs, boutique retailers and essential service providers.

RAM Partners, an award-winning, full-service property management company, is driving the leasing at 565 Hank. Carter involved the RAM Partners team early in the development process, enabling RAM to inform the pre-construction and design phases, which led to a best-in-class facility that was set up for successful leasing and resident satisfaction.

"We built relationships with GSU, new local businesses and retailers in the Summerhill area early on," said Kelly Marchbanks, RAM Partners Group Vice President. “The amenities, location and our experienced team all contributed to the success of 565 Hank."

Community leaders and the city leveraged the Atlanta Braves’ 2017 move to Cobb County to spark reinvestment in the community. Georgia State University moved into the stadium and made plans for two additional major athletic facilities – a Convocation Center, opening in 2022, and a future baseball and softball complex which will be built within the footprint of Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, the site of Hank Aaron’s record-breaking 715 ^th home run.

Carter, in partnership with Healey Weatherholtz Properties and K. King & Co., worked to invigorate the urban core and set a collaborative vision for the remainder of the future mixed-use project, of which 565 Hank is a vital component, offering much-needed, quality rental housing for the neighborhood.

Completed in June, 565 Hank includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as six live-work units. Of the one- and two-bedroom residences, 31 are reserved for renters earning 80% of the area median income. The design by RJTR brings neighbors together with two exterior courtyards featuring a variety of amenities including a pool, multiple seating areas and grilling stations.

The ground-level retail along Hank Aaron Drive will include a mix of restaurants and service providers, including Hodgepodge Coffee House, creating additional space for future residents, employees and Summerhill neighbors to connect.

RAM Partners Lands in 2nd Place of National Online Reputation Ranking

Tue, 25 May 2021 13:18:16 GMT

Atlanta-based Apartment Management Company Uses Exceptional Guest Service, Strategic Online Management System to Deliver Value

ATLANTA (May 25, 2021) — RAM Partners earned second place on one of the multi-family industry’s most sought-after online reputation rankings, where they have steadily climbed the list of the 50 largest apartment managers.

“We are incredibly excited about our success in online reputation management, a key measurement of how we run our clients’ communities,” said Bill Leseman, President, RAM Partners LLC. “RAM Partners is focused on the guest experience. Our team is diligent in earning positive reviews, which ultimately benefits our partners by helping their assets stand out online.”

With a score of 83.94, RAM Partners is one of the top two management companies in the country for online reputation. It earned the third spot last year. RAM outpaced the other top 10 firms' from 2020 with 5% growth in ORA. RAM has ranked in the top 10 on the much-watched list since its inception.

The results are strategic. Most renters use the Internet when they search for their next apartment. The positive reviews are critical in influencing a potential renter’s choice. RAM uses a proprietary and confidential system to encourage residents of the properties they manage around the country to post reviews.

J Turner Research uses the Online Reputation Assessment (ORA) score metric to annually evaluate the performance of the National Multifamily Housing Council's Top 50 Largest Apartment Managers. The ranking is an unprecedented method to overcome the challenge of multiple review rating scales. The statistical model aggregates and analyzes online ratings from the top online review websites to generate a single score on a 0-100 scale.

Ranked No. 34 in size by the National Multi-Family Housing Council, RAM Partners has increased the number of units in its portfolio by more than 33% since 2017. RAM strongly believes reputation plays an important role in the performance of a property and has been recognized nationally for multiple achievements in 2021. In January, RAM had the highest percentage of communities in J Turner’s Elite 1% of the 50 largest managers, which ranks the top 1% of communities in the country for reputation. In March, RAM ranked first in Chatmeter’s Top Ten Multi-Family brands for Online Reputation.

RAM is strictly a third-party management firm and does not own or develop multi-family assets.

J Turner Research exclusively serves the multi-family industry, empowering management companies with customer insights and a fully integrated online reputation management platform to advance their business, enhance resident satisfaction, increase closing ratios, and improve online reputation.
