The Grove of Renwick formerly known as Enchanted Fountains Apartments, is a two story, garden-style, apartment community located in the Gulfton submarket of SW Houston, Texas. The property is a tax credit property and has maintained occupancies in the low to mid 90's for more than 3 years. The asset was built in 1966. Residents enjoy ample amenities which include: mini-blinds, kitchen pantries, ceiling fans, laundry facilities, patios and balconies and walk-in closets. Currently there are reportedly no leasing concessions.
The property is located in a targeted revitalization zone for the City of Houston to bring grants to accommodate upgrading and redevelopment. One strategy would be to resyndicate the tax credits. The Gulfton area contains perhaps the greatest concentration of Class C apartments in Houston, with over 20,000 units in an area defined by US 59, Chimney Rock, Bissonnet and Hillcroft as the boundaries.
There is currently a LURA on the property which expired April 19,2023. The units were limited to 60% of AMI. This asset is ideal to re-syndicate the tax credits or perhaps to get HOME funds from the City of Houston. Located in an Opportunity Zone. Starting May 1, 2023, Manager raised rents about $150/unit and is getting no pushback.
