CHARLESTON, S.C. - PennZone -- Material Capital Partners ("MCP"), a vertically integrated real estate development and investment management firm headquartered in Charleston, SC, is pleased to announce the acquisition of The Preserve at Sweetwater. The 89 home build-for-rent community development in North Augusta, SC was acquired by MCP's joint venture investment partner, a venture between MORE Residential ("MORE"), a Plano, TX-based rental housing owner and operator, and San Francisco-based investment firm, Stockbridge. The Preserve at Sweetwater will be rebranded under MORE's Covey Homes brand of single-family build-for-rent communities.

The Preserve at Sweetwater is a Class-A rental community offering residents upscale 2 and 3-bedroom cottages and townhomes with attached garages, and an array of amenities, including a premium fitness center, game lawn and oversized pet park. The community is located near the intersection of I-20 and I-520, just minutes from downtown Augusta, GA. The community was built by MCP's dedicated construction firm Winchester Commercial Group.

The Augusta metropolitan area has grown significantly over the past five years. The presence of major employers such as the US Army Cyber Command at Fort Gordon, Bridgestone, and Rolls-Royce are creating strong demand for rental housing.

"North Augusta is experiencing strong growth from renter demand," said Joel Presley, MCP Partner and Augusta resident for 30 years. "It has a well-deserved reputation for quality of life. Located between Aiken and Augusta, the city benefits from wonderful amenities and new jobs combined with low cost of living and low cost of housing."
