Overview

Luxury Apartments is a 48-unit garden-style community located at 1000 E Stenger Street in San Benito, Texas. Built in 2006, the property is comprised of six two-story buildings situated on a 3.23-acre site. The unit mix includes 23 two-bedroom/one-bath units, one two-bedroom unit currently utilized as a leasing office, and 24 three-bedroom/two-bath units. The property maintains strong performance with current occupancy of 94% and has consistently ranged between 95% and 98% historically, underscoring the steady rental demand in the Rio Grande Valley. Recent capital improvements include roof replacements with high-impact shingles, double-pane windows, and a hurricane drainage system. Each unit is separately metered for water and electricity, reducing ownership utility expenses and improving operational efficiency.

 

Residents benefit from well-designed floorplans that feature open living areas, fully equipped kitchens, central air conditioning, walk-in closets in select units, and private balconies or patios. Community amenities include landscaped common areas, ample surface parking, perimeter fencing with controlled access, and security cameras throughout. The property also provides multiple avenues for future growth, including city approved plans to construct 16 additional one-bedroom units on the front parcel and the opportunity to convert the current leasing office into an income-producing unit. Current in-place rents remain below market, creating near-term upside through light interior renovations and rental increases. Supported by strong regional economic drivers such as the SpaceX Starbase in Boca Chica, LNG pipeline projects, and a new Amazon logistics facility under construction, Luxury Apartments is well-positioned to capture both rental growth and long-term appreciation, offering investors a compelling value-add opportunity.

Investment Highlights

  • Epicenter of South Texas Economic Growth: Strategically positioned to capture housing demand from SpaceX Starbase (20 miles), Amazon's new logistics facility, and expanding LNG infrastructure. Property maintains 95-98% historical occupancy, demonstrating strong fundamentals before these projects mature.
  • Immediate Rent Growth: Current effective rents of $817/month sit 10% below submarket average ($901/month), creating near-term upside through strategic rent optimization targeting incoming SpaceX/Amazon workforce. Additional rent upside through unit renovations.
  • Expansion Potential: City-approved development of 16 additional one-bedroom units on existing vacant land. Additional land offers flexibility for future unit development or to add amenities (fitness center, co-working space) to improve leasing efforts and retention.
  • Well-Maintained Asset with Minimal Capex Needs: Property has been carefully maintained with major capital improvements completed—including 45-year warranty roofs (installed 2023). All units separately metered for water and electricity, reducing ownership utility expenses.
  • Operational Upside Through Professional Management: Currently self-managed, creating immediate value-add opportunity through implementation of professional property management systems, expense optimization, and operational best practices.
