Lion Real Estate Group is Proud to Announce Its Fifth Atlanta Acquisition

We continue to grow our portfolio with the acquisition of Briarhill Apartments, our fifth multifamily investment in the Atlanta market.

Located in Atlanta's renowned “Pill Hill" medical corridor, the 292-unit community reflects our disciplined investment strategy: acquiring well-located workforce housing in markets with enduring employment growth and strong long-term fundamentals. The property is surrounded by more than 40,000 healthcare professionals and sits within a half-mile of $3.2 billion in planned medical development, positioning it for sustained demand.

Vice President and Head of Acquisitions, Ian Symington stated:

"A key driver of our acquisition strategy is targeting markets with strong
long-term growth."

With new apartment construction slowing in the North Druid Hills submarket and occupancy trends improving, we continue to pursue opportunities where strong market fundamentals align with attractive pricing below replacement cost.

Lion Real Estate Group is honored to be featured in CoStar News for our continued investment in affordable housing and value-add multifamily opportunities across the Southeast and Texas.

The article highlights our recent acquisition of Berkley Spring, a 42-unit affordable housing community in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, and our broader strategy to expand our affordable housing portfolio.

As Co-Founder Jeff Weller shared: “We evaluate opportunities on merit, not scale. If the fundamentals work, the size of the deal is secondary.”
And Co-Founder Mory Barak noted: “The LIHTC space provides stable cash flow, limited resident turnover and strong demand, making it an attractive investment opportunity while helping address the affordable housing shortage.”

Thank you to CoStar News and Brannon Boswell for the thoughtful coverage.

Despite a challenging market cycle over the past several years, we are proud to have delivered strong returns to our investors as we close our first fund, Marble Partners Fund I.

Our conviction remains strong that disciplined operations, a focus on fixed-rate financing, and a vertically integrated platform are key drivers of long-term performance. The success of Fund I further reinforces our strategy and the strength of our team.

As market conditions continue to improve and signs of recovery emerge, we are optimistic about the opportunities ahead for our subsequent funds, including Fund IV, which we are targeting to launch at the end of 2026.

We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to create value for our investors and partners.

Why Value-Add Real Estate Wins
Multifamily construction has plummeted to a 15-year low. While ground-up builds stall due to high costs and tight equity, Lion Real Estate Group is maximizing value through existing assets.

Our VP of Investments, Ben Kriegsman, spoke with Bisnow about why value-add apartments offer the most attractive returns right now:
• Lower entry costs: Buying below replacement cost delivers stronger risk-adjusted returns.
• Proven performance: Our Stone Creek at Old Farm asset in Houston is delivering a consistent, double-digit cash-on-cash yield.
• Supply tailwinds: Less incoming competition leaves existing properties primed for rent growth.

We are proud to navigate this cycle with precision and unlock hidden upside for our investors.

Equity capital is more interested in investing in existing apartments as the market recovers.

It also allowed team members to network with peers and vendors, build meaningful industry relationships, and gain valuable firsthand insights through collaboration with other multifamily professionals.
