Ex-Colony Executive Seeks $1.2 Billion for Single-Family Rentals

ResiBuilt Homes was supposed to raise $250 million to develop single-family rental communities, but the deal was scuttled in March after the Covid-19 pandemic brought the U.S. economy to a halt.

Now, the Atlanta-based builder is out raising money again, and it’s seeking nearly five times the original amount. ResiBuilt is working with New York investment bank Whelan Advisory to raise $400 million in equity and $800 million in debt to build and manage rental houses as it looks to capitalize on demand for larger living spaces and investor appetite for ways to bet on the suburbs.
