A Dallas developer is converting half of a newly acquired McKinney apartment complex \u2014 currently at market rate \u2014 into affordable housing. On Tuesday, Kalterra Capital Partners, a Dallas multifamily developer, and Turner Impact Capital, a Los Angeles private equity real estate firm, announced the acquisition of Kinstead, a 376-unit apartment complex in McKinney, as part of a public-private partnership.<\/p>\n
The complex was built five years ago as a market-rate community and was purchased from developer Zom Living upon completion by a fund sponsored by CBRE Global Investors.<\/p>\n

191 units will be earmarked for renters earning 30% to 80% of Dallas\u2019 area median income, currently $93,850 for a family of four according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that it\u2019s a newer asset is a big reason why we\u2019re so excited to do the partnership with the McKinney Housing Authority,\u201d said Nic Balsamo, partner at Kalterra Capital Partners.<\/p>\n
He said that was the aspect of the acquisition the McKinney Housing Authority was most excited about.<\/p>\n
Kinstead comprises six three-story buildings on a 14-acre site and includes one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with smart home systems and modern appliances.<\/p>\n
Amenities include two swimming pools, a clubhouse and kitchen, gaming room, yoga studio, work spaces, a dog park, pet spa and electric-vehicle charging stations.<\/p>\n
The McKinney Housing Authority, the public partner in the arrangement, is leasing the property to the private partners in a 99-year lease.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a Section 392 partnership with the McKinney Housing Authority that provides a certain level of annual tax abatement,\u201d Balsamo said.<\/p>\n
He said the abatements help make the numbers work for converting the property from a market-rate to a mixed-income community.<\/p>\n
Balsamo noted this is Kalterra\u2019s first acquisition, with plans for more in the future. While the developer typically employs the merchant-builder model, which includes selling a property after construction is completed and it has been stabilized with a certain percentage of tenants, it plans to hold Kinstead long-term.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2025 and over the past few years, it\u2019s been hard to make real estate transactions work. The process of finding alignment with our equity partner \u2014 who we hope to do future projects with \u2014 and working with the McKinney Housing Authority was overwhelmingly positive,\u201d Balsamo said.<\/p>\n
While demand in the multifamily market hasn\u2019t quite bounced back after a post-pandemic surge in supply was met with weak demand, the developer still has its eye on opportunities for more multifamily developments across the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re realizing the vision we set out to accomplish: long-term ownership, expanding our tenant base, providing affordability and a great experience, and growing our platform to do more projects like this \u2014 more acquisitions,\u201d Balsamo said.<\/p>\n
A statement noted Turner Impact Capital has invested in more than 2,000 apartment units around Dallas.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Kinstead acquisition will add to the supply of urgently needed, high-quality housing that\u2019s affordable for working families in one of the highest-demand markets in the country,\u201d Turner Impact Capital CEO Bobby Turner said in the statement.<\/p>\n
The conversion of the Kinstead apartment complex into affordable housing is a significant step towards addressing the housing needs of low-income families in McKinney, Texas. The partnership between Kalterra Capital Partners and Turner Impact Capital demonstrates the potential for public-private partnerships to create affordable housing opportunities. As the demand for affordable housing continues to grow, it is essential to explore innovative solutions like this project to ensure that everyone has access to safe and affordable housing.<\/p>\n
