Castle Lanterra and InterVest Capital: Major New Investments in the US
Castle Lanterra (CL), a prominent real estate investment firm headquartered in New York, and InterVest Capital Partners (ICP), a global alternative investment manager, have just announced a significant milestone in their partnership. This collaboration marks their second investment initiative in the United States, focusing on multifamily housing projects that will greatly enhance urban living conditions.
Financing Overview
On January 14, 2026, the companies revealed they secured over $77 million in capital with the closing of a $62.3 million senior bridge loan intended for Z Modular's Flatz 512 project located in San Marcos, Texas. This deal follows an earlier investment in 2024, which involved a subordinate loan aimed at completing Phase II of the Tahoe Beach Club, a luxurious condominium project on the scenic South Shore of Lake Tahoe in Stateline, Nevada.
Elie Rieder, the CEO and Founder of Castle Lanterra, emphasized the importance of strategic partnerships, stating, "We recognize the significance of collaborating with industry leaders like InterVest to ensure mutual success for our financed projects." He further noted that this investment exemplifies their capability to provide financial resources for promising developments in challenging market environments.
Project Details: Flatz 512
The Flatz 512 project features a modern apartment complex comprising 384 units, with options ranging from studio apartments to three-bedroom residences. The community is designed with luxurious finishes and top-tier amenities, making it an attractive option for residents. As of now, Flatz 512 is in the leasing phase and has shown robust demand, benefiting from the strategic location between two major cities—Austin and San Antonio—along the burgeoning I-35 innovation corridor. The area is experiencing robust job growth and a steady influx of new residents, strengthening the project's potential for long-term success.
