About Transcontinental Realty Investo
About Transcontinental Realty Investo
Transcontinental Realty Investors owned 13 stabilized multifamily properties totaling 2,128 units, three properties in lease-up (672 units), one 234-unit property under construction, four office buildings spanning roughly 1.0 million rentable square feet, and about 1,792 acres of land as of December 31, 2025, with holdings concentrated in the Southern United States. The company also owns approximately 84.6% of Income Opportunity Realty Investors and is itself 78.4%-owned by American Realty Investors, both externally managed alongside TCI by Pillar Income Asset Management. Total indebtedness stood at $266.4 million, with $123.6 million, or 58.6% of mortgage notes payable, insured by HUD.
TCI earns rental income from apartment leases and office tenant leases, financed primarily through property-specific, first-lien mortgage loans, with a majority of multifamily mortgage debt carrying HUD insurance that provides lower interest rates and longer terms (up to 40 years for new construction) in exchange for extensive regulatory compliance. The company has no employees and pays external manager Pillar Income Asset Management under an Advisory Agreement and Cash Management Agreement to source investments, arrange financing, and in some cases construct multifamily properties on its behalf, including its Windmill Farms land development. TCI also grows its multifamily portfolio by partnering with third-party developers under convertible loan arrangements that give it the option to convert construction advances into 100% ownership of a completed project. During 2025 the company sold Villas at Bon Secour, a 200-unit Alabama property, for $28.0 million and completed construction on three of four multifamily developments budgeted at $69.0 million combined.
Show full overview
TCI's property base sits almost entirely in one region: the 10-K states directly that its properties are concentrated in its primary Southern U.S. markets and that overall performance is largely dependent on economic conditions there, meaning a regional downturn would hit occupancy and rents across the portfolio simultaneously rather than being offset by other geographies. That regional concentration compounds a financing dependency — 58.6% of TCI's mortgage notes payable rely on HUD insurance, and the company acknowledges that losing access to HUD-insured loans would force it toward shorter-term conventional financing at higher rates, or asset sales, to fund operations.
