New federal housing policy could accelerate momentum in the build-to-rent market.

A recent Wall Street Journal analysis explores how proposed federal action aimed at institutional buyers of existing single-family homes may reshape the rental landscape. Notably, newly constructed build-to-rent communities are exempt from these restrictions, positioning BTR as a potential beneficiary as capital shifts away from existing housing stock.

The article highlights how this policy distinction, combined with ongoing affordability pressures and operational efficiencies, could influence investor behavior, suburban development patterns, and the long-term evolution of the single-family rental market.

At Realberry, we see this policy environment reinforcing the fundamentals behind thoughtfully planned BTR communities like Red Hawk Crossings, where purpose-built rental housing meets long-term demand in high-growth markets.

We’re proud to introduce our inaugural project offering under the Realberry brand: Red Hawk Crossings, a build-to-rent community in Castle Rock, Colorado.

This project reflects the heart of our approach: disciplined selection, a commitment to building thriving communities and targeting long-term value creation. In many projects we pursue, our team invests right alongside our partners.

Red Hawk Crossings offers a rare opportunity to invest in a well-located, modern rental community in a growing suburban market, supported by strong fundamentals and demand for professionally managed alternatives to homeownership.

Our team reached an important milestone this week, and we’re grateful for everyone who helped make it possible.

We introduced the Realberry brand, shared more about what’s changing — and what isn’t — and highlighted the first of the projects that will define this next chapter of our platform.

Thank you to every associate who helped bring this moment to life and to our partners and community for the encouragement and support. The energy across our offices this week reflects what has always set our company apart: our people.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and grateful to be moving forward together.

With our new Realberry brand, we want to share what’s changing and what is not, because while the name and brand are new, our foundation remains.

What’s Changing:

* A clearer expression of who we are today and the impact we aim to create
* A brand that reflects our evolution: with expanded access for accredited investors, opening the door to new opportunities
* New tools and resources to support a better investor experience, coming in 2026

What Isn’t Changing:

* The integrity and accountability that have guided us for nearly 35 years
* Our long-term vision and commitment to creating places worth loving
* Our alignment with investors — including investing alongside our partners in almost every project we pursue

This rebrand honors where we’ve come from and strengthens the path ahead.

We’re excited to move forward together.

As the holiday season unwinds, we reflect on how thankful we are for nights like these. Moments that bring our people together, celebrate shared accomplishments, and reinforce the culture we are proud to build every day.

Here’s to continued growth and shared success in 2026!🥂

We have officially broken ground on Mountain Brook Flats in partnership with Livmark Communities. The 200-unit apartment community represents an approximately $71 million investment in Longmont’s continued growth.

Located within the Mountain Brook master-planned community just west of downtown Longmont, the project will feature ownership-level design, spacious floor plans, and resort-style amenities, with convenient access to Boulder and the broader Front Range.

This milestone reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering thoughtfully designed housing that supports evolving lifestyles and strengthens the communities we serve.
