The 348-unit community marks The NRP Group s first project in Johnston County and will help meet the growing demand for quality, premium living spaces with curated amenities in North Carolina s fastest-growing submarket.
Eastfield Village is designed for the hard-working people who are powering Johnston County s tremendous growth, said Owen Langston, Vice President of Development at The NRP Group. As the first new large-scale multifamily community of its kind here in many years, it will fill an important gap in the housing market.

Urban Catalyst Breaks Ground on 278-Unit Aquino Luxury Multifamily Development in Downtown West San Jose’s Tech Region

SAN JOSE, CA – Urban Catalyst proudly celebrated the groundbreaking of Aquino, a 278-unit high-end multifamily development located at 498 W. San Carlos Street in Downtown West San Jose. Downtown San Jose has seen some of the highest rent growths in the nation, yet limited new market-rate multifamily building starts have occurred in the area over the past two years, making Aquino a critical addition to the city’s housing supply.
Aquino is among the first major projects to advance under San Jose’s Multifamily Housing Incentive Program, which the City Council approved in December to spur housing production. The program provides eligible developments with fee and tax incentives, offering a much-needed boost to housing creation in a region where costs and regulations have stalled new construction.
By leveraging this legislation, Urban Catalyst was able to move Aquino forward at a time when many projects have remained on hold, underscoring how targeted policy can unlock housing in one of the most expensive markets in the country.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of the region’s tech workforce, Aquino offers luxury living within walking distance of Zoom HQ, Adobe HQ, Diridon Train Station, and major transit corridors including I-280 and I-87.
Its amenities include a large interior courtyard surrounded by a fitness center, co-working space, dog walk area, yoga room, sauna lounge, communal kitchen, and an exclusive penthouse lounge with a balcony patio on the 8th floor, providing residents with a modern, connected, and vibrant living experience.
The project is being realized through a collaborative effort with BDE Architecture, Swenson Builders, Gemini Capital, Redpoint Capital Advisors, and Beach Point Capital providing critical construction financing.
“Breaking ground on Aquino is a testament to the resilience and dedication of our team,” said Erik Hayden, Founder of Urban Catalyst. “We are especially grateful to Beach Point Capital for their partnership and support in bringing this project to life. With rent growth at historic highs and no new market-rate multifamily developments in downtown San Jose in the past two years, delivering high-quality housing is both challenging and essential. Aquino represents our commitment to building communities where people can live, work, and thrive.”
The groundbreaking ceremony, held on September 3rd, marked the official start of site demolition and the first steps toward bringing Aquino to life. Local leaders, advocates for downtown San Jose, project partners, and members of the Urban Catalyst team were all in attendance to celebrate the milestone.
Even San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan joined in, swinging a sledgehammer to kick off demolition, a moment that underscored the city’s commitment to smart infill development and the urgency of addressing Silicon Valley’s housing shortage.
Mahan emphasized that Aquino is exactly the type of development the City Council envisioned when launching the multifamily incentive program last year.
“I think our council has gotten the message that we desperately need housing, that our fees and our processes and all the bureaucracy and layers we’ve created in California have been a big part of the reason that Austin’s building and we aren’t, or the reason that in Denver you can build the same apartment for less than half the cost of building it here,” Mahan said at the event. “We’re changing the culture in California starting right here in San Jose because we’re the engine of innovation, and we’re willing to admit when the things we’re doing aren’t working. We’ve got to do something different.”

LAS VEGAS, NV – The NRP Group, a vertically integrated, best-in-class developer, builder, and manager of multifamily housing, announced the financial closing and upcoming groundbreaking of a 105-unit affordable housing community in North Las Vegas.

The development site spans five acres and will comprise two, four-story buildings with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences. The new community will help address a critical housing gap in North Las Vegas as one of the few affordable housing projects in the area designed to meet the needs of working professionals and growing families. The community will offer resort-style amenities.
Las Vegas is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country, yet housing supply hasn t kept up with demand, especially for working families, said The NRP Group Vice President of Development Mike Moriarty. This project marks NRP s first affordable housing development in Las Vegas, and we re proud to bring our 30 years of experience creating high-quality communities to the region. As Las Vegas continues to experience explosive population growth and a deepening housing crisis, we re committed to being part of the long-term solution.
Located at 6555 N. Pecos Road, the development offers convenient access to Southern Nevada RTC s Downtown & Veterans Medical Center Express, with bus stops within a 10-minute walk providing rapid service to downtown and the VA campus.
Defying traditional standards for affordable housing, North & Valley is designed to mirror the aesthetic and amenity offerings comparable to The NRP Group s market-rate communities. Amenities will include a resort-style swimming pool, a rooftop terrace lounge on the fourth floor with ample seating and scenic views, and a vibrant outdoor playground. The architecture and site plan were designed with both comfort and community in mind, creating an environment that promotes health, connection, and a sense of well-being.
Within each home, residents will enjoy in-unit finishes such as stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, designer cabinetry, wood-style flooring, and connections for washer and dryer setup. The NRP Group is also exploring opportunities to offer dedicated resident services and programming at the property, including a potential partnership with the nearby VA Hospital located just a half-mile away to build a pipeline of support for veterans.
Las Vegas remains a priority market for The NRP Group. The firm recently broke ground on Miraluna alongside development partner Rockefeller Group. The Class-A, 342-unit apartment community is located near the Southern Highlands Master-Planned Community. By year-end, the firm will have broken ground on nearly 1,200 units across four developments in the Las Vegas market. The NRP Group has developed more than 62,000 apartment homes since 1994 and currently manages over 30,000 residential units across the U.S.
Financing for North & Valley apartments includes tax credit equity from US Bank, a construction-to-permanent loan from Deutsche Bank, as well as Growing Affordable Housing Program funds from the Nevada Housing Division, Clark County HOME and CHF funds, and City of North Las Vegas HOME funds.

PORTLAND, OR – Guardian, a Pacific Northwest leader in multifamily operations, development, and investment, announced the closing of a landmark $497 million portfolio acquisition spanning Oregon and New Mexico.
The acquisition represents Guardian s largest single transaction to date and one of the largest in the United States for 2025. In total, 15 properties and 3,050 units were acquired, all built after 2000, characterized by historically high occupancy and low turnover. Each property in the portfolio is a post-15 LIHTC community at risk of conversion to market rate. The profile perfectly matches Guardian s mission to preserve affordability for the long term. Demonstrating that commitment, Guardian will voluntarily convert a portion of existing market-rate units to 60% AMI, further strengthening affordability for working families.
This transaction represents a pivotal moment for Guardian as we advance our mission to preserve and expand quality affordable housing,” said Tom Brenneke, President, Guardian. “Partnering with NEF allows us to safeguard thousands of homes while expanding our footprint into New Mexico and deepening our presence in Oregon. Together, we are proving that large-scale preservation can be both financially sound and rooted in community well-being.
Guardian completed the transaction in two separate phases. The first phase included two Portland-area properties totaling 310 apartment homes, completed with institutional capital partner AEW. The second phase included 13 properties and 2,740 units throughout the Portland, Oregon and Albuquerque, New Mexico metro regions in a venture with NEF and JPMorgan Chase. Working closely with state regulatory agencies, Guardian secured approvals of ownership transfers under an accelerated timeline, ensuring long-term stability for residents.
At NEF, we remain committed to connecting people, providing innovative capital solutions and investing in brighter futures, said Daryl Shore, senior vice president of structured finance at National Equity Fund. Our integrity and stability as an organization stem directly from developing deep, meaningful relationships with our partners, which allows us to push boundaries and engage across every aspect of the multifamily affordable housing space through a mission-oriented, socially impactful approach.
The investment significantly expands Guardian s footprint while solidifying its presence in Oregon and establishing a meaningful entry into New Mexico. The properties acquired will remain affordable for current and future residents, reinforcing Guardian s mission as a steward of long-term housing preservation.
Guardian has always believed that stability in housing creates stability in lives, said Brenneke. This acquisition represents the type of large-scale, mission-driven investment we will continue to pursue in partnership with like-minded organizations, ensuring families across the Northwest and Southwest have access to safe, stable, affordable homes.
