Pretium Raises $1.5 Billion with Sixth Single-Family Housing Fund, Exceeding Target

PRESS RELEASE

Pretium Raises $1.5 Billion with Sixth Single-Family Housing Fund, Exceeding Target

July 22, 2024

Fund Invests in Build-to-Rent Homes and Communities, Creating New Housing Supply

NEW YORK – July 22, 2024 – Pretium, a specialized investment firm with over $50 billion in assets under management, today announced the successful close of its sixth single-family housing fund and related vehicles, above target with $1.5 billion in aggregate commitments to create more affordable housing in the U.S. The fund received strong support from a diversified group of existing and new investors, including insurance companies, U.S. pension plans, and U.S. wealth managers.

The fund invests in build-to-rent single-family homes and communities in suburban markets experiencing above average population and economic growth. The growth in these key markets is primarily driven by U.S. demographic trends fueling demand in regions that offer warmer weather and lower cost of living.

“We are pleased to close our sixth single-family housing fund above our target, which is a testament to the strength of our platform and provides us with more capital to keep builders building homes for families,” said Don Mullen, Founder and CEO of Pretium. “This fund invests in growing the stock of quality single-family homes in key markets across the country, helping solve for the tremendous shortage of viable housing in the U.S. Pretium has developed an integrated real estate ecosystem with the scale and expertise to capitalize on shifts in the market and expand access to quality housing that is resonating with investors, residents, and our communities.”

“As a pioneering investor in the single-family housing industry, Pretium has a strong track record of driving performance and value creation by delivering access, optionality, and value to renters,” said Josh Pristaw, Pretium’s Head of Real Estate. “We have seen a meaningful opportunity to put capital to work with our homebuilder partners over the last few years as regional banks have pulled back on financing and a high inflationary environment depresses supply. Investing in new housing supply and empowering builders to build more homes for families is a winning proposition in a market challenged by housing shortages.”

Since 2020, Pretium has invested more than $2.62 billion toward new build-to-rent construction in the U.S., creating more than 7,800 new homes across 37 cities and 15 states.

Pretium to Acquire BH Management Services to Expand Residential Real Estate Footprint

PRESS RELEASE

Pretium to Acquire BH Management Services to Expand Residential Real Estate Footprint

February 29, 2024

Marks Entrance into Multifamily Rental Property and Investment Management

NEW YORK – February 29, 2024 – Pretium, a specialized investment firm with more than $50 billion in assets under management, today announced that it has agreed to acquire BH Management Services (“BH”), one of the nation’s premier property management platforms in multifamily, student, and single-family housing. The transaction is expected to close early in the second quarter.

Founded by Harry Bookey in 1993, BH is at the forefront of the institutional multifamily investment and property management industries. BH currently manages approximately 114,000 homes across 370 housing communities in 31 states.

“BH’s multifamily property management platform prioritizes the resident and employee experiences and is critical to enhancing communities at a time when quality housing options are in short supply,” said Don Mullen, Founder and CEO of Pretium. “The addition of BH is a natural adjacency to Pretium’s residential ecosystem and enables us to continue providing diverse housing options for residents based on their preferences and stages of life. We look forward to working with the entire BH team to continue to strengthen BH’s model and market position.”

Mr. Bookey added, “BH has established itself as one of the leaders in the industry, and I am proud of where we are today – one of the largest and most respected companies in multifamily. Therefore, it was personally important to me that we take a thoughtful approach to the future of BH. Beyond being a force in its own right, Pretium shares our core values of embracing evolution and putting people first, making it the right fit for BH.”

“This is an inflection point for BH and an opportunity to further invest in our centralized services platform, as well as advance our proprietary business intelligence systems. This transaction will also expand our operating footprint,” said Joanna Zabriskie, CEO of BH. “What’s exciting to me is what BH and Pretium will do together. We’re cut from the same cloth: we’re both overachievers. However, it’s in the places we’re different – BH as a leader in multifamily, and Pretium as a leader in specialized residential investments – that’s where new opportunities exist.”

“We have a long-standing relationship with BH and are pleased to be joining forces” added Jonathan Pruzan, President of Pretium. “Harry created, and Joanna has scaled, an impressive platform, which is at the forefront of the industry through its technology- and people-focused culture. This combination enhances our existing vertically integrated model and allows us to capitalize on compelling opportunities we see in the residential space.”

BH will become a Pretium operating company and continue to operate as BH Management Services, providing the same property management, construction, and investment services to its clients and residents across the country. BH will also continue to be led by Chief Executive Officer Joanna Zabriskie and the current management team, with its headquarters remaining in Des Moines, Iowa.
