DENVER - September 23, 2019 - (Newswire.com)
Seneca Capital Partners (“Seneca”), the parent company of Seneca Capital Management (“Seneca Capital”), today announced the closing of its second Fund, Seneca Capital Income Real Estate Fund II, LP, (“SCIRE Fund II”) over-subscribed at nearly $28 million in total equity raised. With leverage, Seneca expects SCIRE Fund II to include nearly $90 million worth of assets — continuing their thesis to own “workforce housing” in major U.S. markets.
Led by Seneca’s Founder and CEO, Rhett Trees, and its COO, Paul Luber, Seneca’s previous vehicle, SCIRE Fund I, raised nearly $24 million in a round that closed in July 2018.
SCIRE Fund I invested in nearly 1,200 homesites spanning a half-dozen manufactured housing communities, and several of the communities are located on the outskirts of the fastest-growing cities in America including Dallas, Tampa and Houston.
Historically, Seneca has looked to buy properties that reside in hyper-growth cities in what they refer to as the SMILE states, spanning from Utah, down into the sunbelt states with a keen focus on Texas and Florida with the SMILE ending in North Carolina.
Seneca aims to own and operate clean, safe and affordable housing communities with a focus on workforce or attainable housing for hard-working residents who do not fit into the traditional path to homeownership.
