Foreign investor partners with U.S. firm to develop net-zero energy SFR community

Man Global Private Markets (Man GPM), Man Group’s private markets investment business, has partnered with Dutch firm Bouwinvest Real Estate Investors to build as much as 1,000 net-zero energy build-to-rent properties across various U.S. metropolitan areas over the next several years. The first project in Charlotte, North Carolina, is the first institutionally backed build-to-rent net zero energy single-family rental community in the United States.

“We are facing a serious climate crisis that has implications on every part of our lives. At the same time, we are facing a housing shortage and consumers are looking for modern and healthier living alternatives,” said Anthony Cazazian, head of U.S. residential real estate, Man GPM. “We’re excited to work with Bouwinvest, who we consider a global leader in sustainable real estate investments, to help be a part of the solution to all of these challenges and provide homes that we believe are built for the future.
