Wrightwell, a real estate platform, has partnered with Bain Capital’s Insurance team and Saluda Grade to channel up to $300m into the single-family rental (SFR) and build-for-rent (BFR) housing sectors in the US.
The initiative is a response to the pressing need for residential housing in the US and aims to improve affordable housing availability for the lower- and middle-income demographics.
Wrightwell has also concluded its latest funding round aimed at propelling a nationwide expansion. The company is set to broaden its full-service real estate investment and operating platform across the US.
Wrightwell co-founder and CEO Anthony DePalma said: “We are thrilled to welcome Bain Capital to our platform and to deepen our longstanding partnership with Saluda Grade. Both organisations bring extensive expertise in direct investments in US housing and financing operating companies.”
“In addition to executing for captive capital, our platform helps enable all market participants to leverage our full-service institutional-quality operations for all their real estate needs. Together with our investment partners, we have assembled an outstanding team to drive Wrightwell forward as a top-tier national real estate investment and operating business.”
The partnership’s synergy is expected to foster the creation and enhancement of cost-effective housing solutions.
