Summary
SWBC Real Estate, LLC has announced the launch of SWBC RE Fund II, LP ("SWBC RE Fund II"), its second real estate investment fund, according to a Business Wire release published October 13, 2026. The fund will focus on multi-family acquisitions and future development opportunities throughout the Sun Belt states. SWBC Real Estate will partner with SWBC Investment Company, an SEC-registered investment advisor, to administer and operate the private placement vehicle, which is offered to institutional and accredited investors.
SWBC aims to raise $200 million for the new fund. The target follows the inaugural SWBC RE Fund, LP, which secured $125 million in capital commitments. Publisher context notes that the new vehicle follows the development and sale of more than $900 million in multi-family properties in Texas by SWBC Real Estate. SWBC is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas.
Scott Rykert, CEO of SWBC Investment Company, said the fund represents "the next chapter" in the firm's real estate strategy and argued that "periods of market disruption often create the strongest opportunities for long-term accredited investors." Stuart Smith, Chief Operating Officer of SWBC Real Estate, LLC, said the fund brings together investment expertise and market knowledge aimed at generating attractive yields for accredited investors.
The release attributes the current opportunity set to rising interest rates, higher operating costs, increased debt service, and elevated supply, which it says have contributed to declining property values in many markets. As a result, the firm says quality multi-family assets can be acquired at attractive discounts to replacement costs. The fund features a single-promote structure and competitive management fees. The offering is described as suitable for large institutions, pension funds, endowments, municipalities, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals, though the release states it is not an offer to sell securities and that offers will be made only to qualified investors via a Confidential Private Placement Memorandum. The release also notes that investment involves a high degree of risk.
