Invitation Homes Launches $500M JV with Real Estate Investor
Invitation Homes Inc. has formed a $500 million, including debt, joint venture with an unnamed real estate investment partner to invest in newly constructed homes and communities in several high-growth markets.
The JV will initially deploy $200 million. Invitation Homes will commit $50 million in equity, with potential to upsize commitments through follow-on investment tranches in the future, and provide management services, earning management fees and potential promoted interest. The partnership aims to leverage Invitation Homes’ builder relationships, management expertise, and scale to expand their housing portfolio.
“We believe our partnership approach to investing in new homes with builders is an optimal strategy for Invitation Homes to maximize risk-adjusted returns while also helping to bring high-quality new housing options to where they are greatly needed,” said Dallas Tanner, the Company’s CEO.
Eastdil Secured served as financial advisor to Invitation Homes in arranging the JV, and Latham & Watkins LLP acted as the Company’s legal advisor.
