Fund facts
Spire Capital Pty Ltd (“Spire”) continues to have high conviction in US Multifamily real estate as a resilient source of absolute returns, with low correlation to traditional asset classes. Spire Bridge Multifamily Fund V (‘SBMFV’) provides an opportunity to capitalise on the continuing thematic of increasing demand in Class B US multifamily housing, driven by an existing undersupply of housing, an ageing population, embedded student debt and the economic flexibility that renting provides. By partnering with Bridge Investment Group (“Bridge”), Spire seeks to leverage upon the strong historical performance and streamlined ‘value add’ strategy in order to provide attractive returns with a low risk profile.
As the USA progresses through the COVID-19 crisis, Class B multifamily apartments have experienced higher and more stable occupancy rates than their Class A counterparts, driven by the affordability factor. Given this, and resultant of the success of Bridge’s predecessor multifamily funds, Spire returns to partner with Bridge to leverage from their deep industry experience and expertise, value-add strategy and in house synergies to best capture the emerging and enduring trends in the US multifamily space.
