SFO Capital Partners Marks Return to Austin with 414-unit Multifamily Acquisition
London, October 28th, 2025 – SFO Capital Partners has announced the acquisition of Citizen House, a newly built 414-unit multifamily community located in Austin, Texas, one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the United States. The transaction underscores the firm’s renewed investment momentum following a 20-month pause amid elevated interest rate conditions, marking SFO Capital Partners’ second U.S. acquisition in 2025 after the purchase of Rosemary, a 384-unit community completed earlier this year.
This latest investment also represents the firm’s 25th acquisition in the U.S. housing sector, bringing the total number of apartment units acquired across key Sun Belt markets to more than 8,000.
Citizen House benefits from strong economic fundamentals and exceptional connectivity to major employment hubs, including Tesla’s GigaTexas, Oracle’s regional headquarters, and Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The submarket is expected to add more than 25,000 new jobs within a three-mile radius in 2025 alone, further supporting sustained rental demand and income stability. As Austin continues to lead national absorption trends, Citizen House is positioned to capture the city’s strong housing demand and deliver sustained income stability and long- term capital appreciation.
Mohamad Abouchalbak, CEO of SFO Capital Partners commented: “Multifamily housing remains one of the most resilient real estate asset classes, supported by strong demographic tailwinds, continued inward migration, and sustained employment growth. Austin, driven by its dynamic innovation economy and rapid population inflows, continues to rank among the most compelling U.S. housing markets. Today’s market characterized by elevated supply being absorbed at record rates and attractive valuations from motivated sellers, presents a unique window to acquire high-quality assets at favorable pricing. Citizen House perfectly captures this opportunity, aligning with our conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the sector.”
