FASTEST-GROWING REGION
Why We Are Head Over Heels Crazy About Austin
Located in Central Texas, a region fueling massive growth for major companies such as Tesla, Apple, Google, Facebook, Samsung, 3M, Amazon, and Dell, Austin is ideally suited for explosive growth. It sits on one end of a colossal expansion corridor where two of Texas’ biggest cities are on a mind-boggling population collision course. The Austin-San Antonio Corridor is one of the fastest-growing regions in the United States and is on track to become a single mega-metro of epic proportions!
Austin’s enormous job and population growth is being sustained by it’s pro-business environment, highly skilled workforce, low taxes, and competitive incentives. It’s no wonder companies and households are moving there in droves.
The one-of-a-kind business and economic climate is generating a truly impressive list of accolades and stats, including:
#1 Hottest Big City Labor Market (Wall Street Journal 2020)
#2 Strongest Metro Economy in U.S. (Policom 2021)
#3 Best Places to Live in America (U.S. News & World Report 2020)
#1 Tech town in the U.S.
3.2% Annualized population growth, which is 4.7X the national average
A Historical annualized job growth rate of 4.1%, 8.5X faster than the rest of the country!
The region is blessed with seven top-tier colleges and universities, a huge contributor to it’s robust talent pipeline and a major incentive for business expansions and relocations to the area.
Going forward, we foresee economic conditions to continue very strongly… with businesses lining out the door trying to get a piece of the action. Join us as we take full advantage of this gigantic opportunity to invest in a powerful metro that is growing like gangbusters with no end in sight.
BEST PERFORMING
Stellar Covid-19 Economic and Multifamily Resilience
Austin has been able to weather the pandemic much better than most metros because it has less exposure to the industries most affected by COVID-19, and it is an affordable market with a pro-growth government.
With it’s diverse local economy and highly educated workforce, employment barely declined during COVID, compared to large losses at the national level. And with big name companies relocating to the region at a fast pace, new recession resilient jobs are being added to the mix, which is truly the secret sauce to Austin’s success and ability to weather any economic climate.
Fastest rent rebound of any major market (Valbridge Market Study)
#3 Best Performing Metro for Job Losses During the Pandemic
Bucking the Pandemic, Austin Is ‘The Hottest Market in the Country” (The New York Times, March 23, 2021)
Lost only 1% of jobs between Dec 2019 and Dec 2020, well below the -9.3% national level (US Bureau of Labor Statistics)
#1 Destination in the U.S. for potential commercial real estate investment (CBRE Group, March 2021)
Austin is a hot spot for commercial real estate investment and a magnet for out-of-state corporations looking to move or expand, strengthening its allure as a center of high-tech industry. It displaced Greater Los Angeles as the most preferred market for 2021 because of the resilience in its labor market and an outlook for steady growth.
In 2020, the pandemic and a large supply of new multifamily construction caused Austin rents to decline. But despite rents falling 4%, the South Austin apartment market has seen one of the fastest rebounds in the country since the start of the year. As of April, asking rents are up more than 4% on the year, well ahead of the national average, recovering to pre-pandemic levels.
The Micro-Neighborhood, Southpark Meadows
As we drill down to the micro-neighborhood, Southpark Meadows, get ready for some eye-popping numbers, because this is one of the best neighborhoods we have EVER seen! The combination of Austin and Southpark Meadows is like a dream come true when it comes to the numbers we care about as astute investors.
Southpark Meadows is in South Austin, just five minutes away from the popular South Congress District (SoCo). The neighborhood is experiencing rapid population, income, and house price growth:
Wages grew a massive 10% in 2020, despite the nationwide pandemic!
There was positive job growth during the 2020 pandemic while most areas saw major declines
There are nearly 357K jobs available within a 30 minute drive ($70K+ salary)
As you can clearly see from these stunning numbers, South Meadows has an extremely resilient economy that was able to weather a sudden and severe downturn with flying colors. It has everything we could possibly want in a micro-neighborhood as an investor!
the next Silicon Valley
The Massive
Employment Boom
With Elon Musk and other tech powerhouses flocking to Texas, Austin is quickly becoming the next Silicon Valley. Big, well-known companies such as Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tesla, FedEx, Oracle, Whole Foods Market, BAE Systems, and many others have announced company relocations and expansions in Austin.
Giga Texas is the highly anticipated, one billion dollar, five million square-foot Tesla manufacturing plant projected to be completed before the end of this year. Elon Musk has said he expects to create 5,000 to 10,000 new jobs over the next four years. This brand new Gigafactory is located within 20 minutes drive from Botanica Southpark.
Tech giant Google has signed a lease for an entire 35-story tower in downtown Austin called Block 185. Construction of the iconic new tower has started, with occupancy scheduled for Q2 2022. The tower will potentially house about 5,000 employees and is located only nine miles from Botanica Southpark.
Apple has a brand new $1 billion, 133 acre Austin campus under construction, and expects phase one to be completed in 2022. Apple plans to employ up to 15,000 employees at the new campus.
With a premium location, iconic design, and desirable amenities Botanica Southpark will definitely be attracting employees from large tech expansions.

I have invested with Neal, Anna and team for years and they are excellent at what they do and return better than predicted returns. They have way exceeded expectations. What impresses me about Neal, Anna and their team is their quality research on every aspect of the market, their excellent communications and updates to investors, and their ability to add value to every property they touch.

I have invested in a couple of opportunities with Neal and his team. These have been performing superbly, and way better than the initial predictions even during the COVID-19 pandemic. The marketing material that the team has put together is top-notch. Awesome job by Neal and his team in managing the properties and consistent communication with their investors.
As a Limited Partner to invest in a syndication, for me, trust is a big factor. With Neal’s vast experience in multifamily construction, data-driven approach, and creative ways in solving problems as well as straightforwardness helped in creating the trust.

100 Feet From Central Texas’ Largest Shopping Center
During a recent visit, Neal was blown away by the lack of parking spaces in the middle of a workday. The outdoor mall was extremely busy with shoppers and families. 
Set within the center of this highly rated retail development is The Grove Amphitheater, an outdoor music venue where seasonal live music performances and comedy shows are free for all to enjoy. There’s also an interactive music-themed water fountain, splashpad, and a playground for kids to enjoy… a truly scenic place to stretch your legs and take a breather after a day of shopping, grab a bite to eat, and rest among the shady heritage oak trees.Botanica Southpark is ideally located within the largest shopping district in Central Texas, giving residents immediate access to a myriad of highly rated retail, delicious dining choices, craft coffee, and entertainment options… all just a few steps from the residents front door.

+29% House Price Growth 2020-2021 (Valbridge Market Study)
+103% House Price Growth 2012-2021 (Zillow)
Many homes are now selling for more than 20 percent over asking price
The Austin market is in a frenzy right now and continues to set new records. In addition to crazy price increases, we’re seeing 51% more sales volume and 78% less active listings! And the current supply of houses was a record low at only 0.4 months supply, compared to a national average of 1.9 months.
Adding fuel to the fire, as per Zillow’s Home Price Expectations Survey, “Austin, specifically, could see a population boom in the next year.”
There will be plenty of new renters and renters being priced out of the housing market, or unable to find a property to buy!
