Trilogy Investment Company, a leader in build-to-rent (BTR) community development, and Pinnacle Partners, a renowned real estate investment firm, announce the launch of their dedicated BTR Opportunity Zone Fund. This groundbreaking initiative will channel significant investments into underserved areas, foster community development and offer attractive returns to investors.

The newly established fund will invest in three BTR communities located in strategically selected cities -- Decatur, Ga., Augusta, Ga. and Huntsville, Ala. With nearly 500 homes planned across these projects, the fund represents one of the first of its kind in the sector, focusing solely on Opportunity Zones—areas identified as economically distressed. This initiative aims to rejuvenate these areas while offering substantial tax incentives to investors.

"We are thrilled to expand our partnership with Pinnacle Partners through this dedicated fund. Together, we meticulously selected these locations through rigorous underwriting processes to ensure impactful investment and meaningful community development," said Jason Joseph, CEO of Trilogy Investment Company. "Our goal is not just to build homes, but to create communities that last and deliver sustained value to residents and investors."

Pinnacle Partners brings its expertise in managing limited partnership (LP) and general partnership (GP) equity, raising the necessary funds, while Trilogy oversees project development and asset management. This collaboration has already resulted in the successful closure of two projects within Opportunity Zones, underscoring the potential of this focused approach.

Leo Backer, Managing Partner at Pinnacle Partners, commented, "Our decision to collaborate exclusively with Trilogy was based on their unrivaled expertise in the BTR sector. They embody the pinnacle of development, from land acquisition to property management, ensuring that every project aligns with our high standards for quality and investor satisfaction."

The fund is poised to attract high-net-worth individuals, offering an alternative to traditional institutional investment channels. This approach democratizes investment in development projects and aligns with long-term investment strategies, reflecting the partners' commitment to building lasting communities rather than pursuing short-term gains.

“We are immensely proud to launch this Opportunity Zone Fund alongside Trilogy Investment Company,” states Jeff Feinstein, Managing Partner at Pinnacle Partners. “This initiative highlights our commitment to transformative community development and aligns perfectly with our strategy to bring about substantial economic impact in areas that need it most.

"Our Pinnacle BTR OZ fund launch is crucial for our continued fundraising efforts and for building credibility within the investment management community," added Joseph. "This fund underscores our commitment to innovative solutions in the BTR space, aiming to meet the needs of new renters and create dream communities across the Southeast, Texas, Arizona and Colorado."

As Trilogy Investment Company and Pinnacle Partners forge ahead with this venture, they remain dedicated to transforming underserved areas into thriving communities, thus setting a new standard in Opportunity Zone investments. 

Trilogy Investment Company, a leader in build-to-rent (BTR) community development, is partnering with RKW Residential (RKW) to manage its two new Build-to-Rent (BTR) communities, Rêve at Park Ridge in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Rêve at NoDa Junction in Charlotte, N.C. Now pre-leasing, these communities total 190 units.

“We wanted to hire a property management firm that was knowledgeable about the market and understood what Rêve Communities represents, and RKW understood just that,” states Gina Davis, SVP of Asset Management for Trilogy. “It is important that anyone we do business with, from management to investors, has the same vision and core values that Trilogy has and that our synergies are aligned.”

The collaboration combines Trilogy Investment Co.'s expertise in real estate development and investment with RKW’s extensive experience and reputation in property management.

By leveraging RKW in the build-to-rent space, Trilogy Investment Co. ensures that the residents of its new communities receive top-notch management services. RKW’s commitment to excellence aligns well with Trilogy Investment Co.’s dedication to quality and efficiency.

“RKW is super selective about the companies it does business with, and it speaks to the strength of both the Trilogy and Rêve brands that we have forged this relationship,” said Jason Joseph, CEO and Partner with Trilogy Investment Co. “We look forward to ongoing collaboration between Trilogy Investment Co. and RKW for property management of additional communities as we complete and start to lease them.”

Rêve at Park Ridge in Myrtle Beach is a 122-unit, one-, two- and three-bedroom single-family attached community with high-end finishes, a beautiful clubhouse and an amenity area.

Rêve at NoDa Junction, located in Charlotte, is a 68-unit town-home community pre-leasing two- and three-bedroom homes with immaculate finishes and attached garages. Both communities are in desirable areas and surrounded by some of the best restaurants and amenities in town.

Rêve communities feature high-end finishes, including stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, smart technology throughout the homes and a one- or two-car garage plus driveway. Residents will appreciate accessible onsite management, 24-hour maintenance and valet trash.
