This project includes the development of a new multi-family and retail complex in Downtown Bryan, Texas; another major addition to its Opportunity Zone Fund portfolio
CaliberCos Inc. (Caliber), a fully integrated alternative asset manager and fund sponsor, today announced that it had broken ground on Jordan Lofts, a 48-unit Class A multifamily property that will include 6,500 square feet of retail space in Downtown Bryan, Texas. This project is Caliber’s first investment in Texas, one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S. The Bryan-College Station metro area had the second-fastest-growing GDP in the state of Texas in 2020.
Caliber is co-developing this project with BCS Modern, a full-service real estate development firm that has completed several successful projects in Bryan. BCS Modern contributed the half-acre lot where the complex will be built. Each of the 48 residential units will include 12-foot ceilings, a lofted bedroom and well-appointed kitchens and bathrooms. It is located at 22nd and Main Streets in Downtown Bryan, which is part of a designated Opportunity Zone. Rents for units in this project will be lower than those at other complexes in the market area.
“We are very pleased that our first investment in Texas is part of our Opportunity Zone Fund,” said Roy Bade, Chief Development Officer for Caliber. “With the Jordan Lofts project, we are transforming empty lots into a multi-use complex that will provide affordable housing and attract additional economic development to the rapidly growing area. As Downtown Bryan and the broader Bryan-College Station metropolitan area continue to grow, we expect demand for housing to escalate as well.”
The entire Bryan-College Station area is experiencing significant growth and more investment is expected as construction continues on a high-speed railway connecting Houston and Dallas with Bryan set to be the only stop. By 2029, that railway is expected to carry six million riders annually. Furthermore, the multifamily rental market in Bryan has been very strong over the past several years with occupancy hovering near 100 percent.
Chris Lawrence, CEO for BCS Modern, said, “For more than a decade, we have put 100 percent of our efforts towards rebuilding this once vibrant Downtown area. Working closely with the City, our downtown small business friends and partners, and focusing on art and culture, we are now bringing to fruition the next phase of our efforts, Jordan Lofts. We are so excited to see strong growth in our community and the impact that our developments have in showcasing Downtown Bryan.”
