A land brokerage company based in Irvine, The Hoffman Company, has sold 26 acres of land that Sancerra Communities and STG Capital Partners will use to build a rent-only townhome community in Southwest Riverside County, California.

“We are particularly bullish on build-for-rent communities in supply-constrained markets like California.”

Marcus Cook, Managing Partner of Sancerra Communities

“The Southwest Riverside County/Temecula submarket is attractive from an investment standpoint. With year-over-year rent growth approaching 20%, vacancy rates hovering near 3% and one of the fastest-growing populations in the Inland Empire, the submarket has outperformed most markets across the country since the start of the pandemic,”

Marcus Cook, Managing Partner of Sancerra Communities

What is Build-to-Rent?

Build to Rent (BTR) refers to purpose-built housing designed for rent rather than sale. Schemes usually offer longer tenancy agreements and are often professionally managed by the owner or operator.

Is Build-to-Rent the Next Big Thing in the Housing Market?

“We have seen single-family rents rising by 7% to 10% a year over the past twelve months in many areas,” writes Brad Hunter, a consultant on new housing developments at Hunter Housing Economics.

Brad points out five reasons that the BTR market is expanding fast. These include:

  1. Home prices are getting out of reach for the young
  2. The need for sufficient space for home offices
  3. Millennials need more home space to keep dogs
  4. Millennials have kids in large numbers
  5. Household formation rates are increasing

Where does Build-to-Rent Thrive?

Simply put, where land is plentiful and cheap.

City of Wildomar

“California’s development process is complex relative to other parts of the country, so the state builds fewer homes than are needed each year. Sancerra was formed to address California’s housing shortage, and we are thankful for the opportunity to work with the City of Wildomar to bring this new housing alternative to its community,”

Marcus Cook, Managing Partner of Sancerra Communities
