DPG Investments, LLC, a leading family office, merchant banking, and private capital firm, is proud to announce another successful capital structuring and closing accomplished with the support of its affiliates and investment partners. DPG, together with its affiliate MHC Capital Advisors, LLC, and K8H Ventures, has structured $56.2 million in senior debt, mezzanine debt, and preferred equity for the acquisition and development of a 1,036-lot manufactured home community in Terrell, Texas, called Post Oak. The financing was structured through DPG affiliate MHC Capital Advisors, LLC, which DPG formed to focus solely on financing best-in-class manufactured home communities.
This financing is for Benchmark Housing Fund, LLC, which is based in the Houston suburb of Magnolia, Texas. Benchmark is an operation of K8H Ventures, an experienced developer and operator of manufactured home communities in Texas. Post Oak is the first of many acquisitions for Benchmark, with four more expected during the first half of 2025. Benchmark contemplates substantial growth in the next five years, which will be financed through the efforts of MHC Capital Advisors.
DPG Chairman Dan Galvanoni commented, “DPG is excited about our partnership with the team at K8H and Benchmark. Kevin Mims and Harry Winslow are consummate professionals and are experts in their field. Together we are forging a solution to the problem of a lack of affordable housing across the country. MHC Capital Advisors intends to be the leading capital provider for this important asset class.”
K8H co-founder and principal Kevin Mims noted, “Benchmark Housing creates high-quality communities that people are proud to live in. Our design and operational standards exceed those of many traditionally built homes and provide superior value. We believe passionately in our mission to ease the housing affordability problem, beginning in Texas, and then expanding to other areas.”
