The Walker & Dunlop New York Capital Markets team, led by Jonathan Schwartz, Aaron Appel, Keith Kurland, Adam Schwartz, Michael Ianno, Jackson Irwin, and Christopher de Raet, arranged the financing on behalf of institutional investors advised by J.P.

The portfolio consists of 709 homes totaling 1.4 million rentable square feet across seven different communities, all situated within a 30- to 55-mile drive from Atlanta’s central business district.

“The demand for single-family rental product, specifically in Atlanta’s surrounding suburbs, has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by a combination of population influx, job creation, and a strong local economy,” said Jonathan Schwartz, senior managing director and co-head of New York Capital Markets. “We are pleased to be a part of this project, which will serve as the springboard for further single-family-rental development by this best-in-class partnership.”
