Executive Summary01

Opportunistic yields, a core asset recapitalized for its next decade.

A five-minute walk from the University of Colorado, The Lodge is a 220-unit, 371-bed student-housing community being recapitalized around a clear value-add plan: a $6.05M program executed entirely in Year 1 — a brand-new 5,000 SF clubhouse and amenity barn (online for Fall-2027 leasing), in-unit improvements (new flooring and countertops throughout), and exterior cosmetic upgrades — funding a $175/bed rent step in 2027/28 and a further $176 in 2028/29.

The opportunity is rare: a proven core asset at a post-reset basis and trough occupancy — the 2026/27 year opens ~80% leased, and the underwriting prices the deal off that trough — with achieved new-lease rents of $1,548, roughly $308 per bed below market, and a floating-rate structure that keeps every exit open. Brickstone has distributed $51.7 million to investors from this asset alone so far. The Lodge has been among Brickstone’s best-performing holdings since 2015 — the initial investment returned a 53.8% IRR and 3.8× equity multiple, and the asset has since been through two successful full-cycle recapitalizations (2019 and 2022) that returned strong profits to investors while Brickstone retained ownership. Brickstone acquired the full interest of the institutional partner that held ~70% since 2018 — whose drive for early lease-up kept rents below market — and now recapitalizes the asset with new capital and invests $3,480,000 alongside the LPs, retaining an ~10% interest in the deal.

The recapitalization also carries highly advantageous tax treatment: 100% bonus depreciation is currently expected to generate significant non-cash deductions — a hypothetical $1 million investment is currently modeled to be allocated roughly $1,090,000 of non-cash losses in Year 1; the actual timing and amount of any tax benefits will depend on final structuring and each investor’s particular tax situation.

The Thesis

Opportunistic yields from a core, pedestrian asset in one of the best markets in the country — achieved new-lease rents of $1,548 per bed sit well below a $1,856 newer-vintage comp average and a $1,973 scheduled Year-3 rent (+$175/bed in 2027/28, +$176 plus 3.9% organic growth in 2028/29), on rate-capped floating debt that keeps an early sale or refinance open if conditions improve. Embedded redevelopment optionality on the five-acre site allows for a new 544-bed community — a net +389 beds to the site — on roughly half of the existing land, unlocking a development site valued at more than $50 million, subject to the City of Boulder’s entitlement process. Brickstone brings significant Boulder experience, having completed more than $1 billion of total investment in the market since 2008.

Underwriting assumptions: Year-1 occupancy holds ~82% blended (80% opening · ~81% September · ~82% from October), returning to 95% from Fall-2027 · rent growth 3.9% per year from Year 3 · operating-expense growth 3.0% per year · 5.0% economic vacancy & loss from stabilization · exit cap rate 6.00% at a targeted month-40 sale. Returns are projections, net to LP after an 8% preferred return and 80/20 promote; actual results will differ.

Interactive Underwriting Model02

Test the underwriting yourself.

This is a live replica of Brickstone’s recapitalization model — the same engine that produces the OM’s published figures. Move any assumption and every return recomputes through the full waterfall: 8% cumulative preferred, pro-rata return of capital, then an 80/20 residual split. Projections only — actual results will differ.

Annual cash-flow detail

Waterfall: 8% cumulative, compounding preferred (pro-rata to LP ~90% / GP ~10% capital) → pro-rata return of capital → residual 80% LP / 20% GP. Debt: the facility floats at SOFR + 235 with the coupon computed at min(SOFR, 5.00% cap strike) + spread, floored at 3.00% SOFR; the facility future-funds $3.65M of the capex; the interest-carry reserve auto-sizes at 3× the Year-1 shortfall computed at the quoted S+285 and is released end of Year 2; cap renewals ($250K/$225K) and the 0.25% extension fee apply when the sale month requires them. Asset-management fee (30 bps, growing 3%/yr) is paid from a reserve funded at close — no fee from operations. After-tax figures assume 100% bonus depreciation on a 25/13/62 cost-segregation of the $86M depreciable acquisition basis plus Year-1 capex classes, 40.8% ordinary rate, and current usability of passive losses; not tax advice.

Investment Highlights03

A rare entry into a proven core asset.

After the commercial real estate reset of the last three years, The Lodge offers a rare entry into a proven core asset owned by the sponsor for more than a decade — recapitalized at $94 million today, down from a $130 million valuation in 2022 — a basis that prices in the correction, not the peak.

Rents Below Market
Immediate upside
01

Below-market rents, ready to capture

The previous institutional partner desired early lease-up in lieu of driving rents to market, rendering achieved new-lease rents roughly $308 per bed below market — and leaving the 2026/27 year opening at ~80% occupancy, vacancy concentrated in studios. That trough is the entry: the near-campus set leases from $1,644 (U Club on 28th) to $2,279 (CORE’s Hub) and $2,315 (Parker Off Pearl), well above The Lodge; occupancy recovery plus an organic mark-to-market are both available with a disciplined fall-2027 lease-up.

02

A proven, core performer

Brickstone has owned The Lodge more than 11 years, completing two full-cycle recapitalizations (2019 and 2022) that delivered strong profits to investors while retaining the asset. The initial investment generated a 53.8% IRR and 3.8× equity multiple, with occupancy averaging >95% across the decade through 2025/26.

03

Floating-rate debt with a cap — flexibility by design

The new $68.68M senior facility floats at SOFR + 235 (6.01% at the current 3.66% SOFR), interest-only, with a 5.00% SOFR rate cap purchased at close and a 3.00% floor — a 24-month initial term plus three one-year extensions. Floating-rate debt is the flexibility play: no yield maintenance, a 0.25% exit fee only, so the partnership can sell or refinance early if rates fall or the market re-rates. The facility future-funds $3.65M of the $6.05M value-add program, and a pre-funded interest-carry reserve makes Year 1 cash-neutral through the leasing ramp.

04

Tested to a punitive 7.00% exit — investors still earn their preference

The punitive scenario: a 7.00% exit cap — a full 100 bps wider than the already-conservative 6.00% base, implying $293K/bed, below what unrenovated assets traded for in 2026 — a true dislocation case. Even there the deal models to an 8.4% net LP IRR / 1.29x pre-tax (24.5% / 1.77x with a 1031), clearing the full 8% preferred while the GP promote earns $0. The below-market reversion — not cap-rate compression or heroic growth — drives the outcome.

05

Scarcity and high barriers to entry

Boulder is among the most development-constrained markets in the country — height and density limits, annual residential-permit caps and structural scarcity — and The Lodge sits a five-minute walk from CU Boulder.

06

Highly advantageous tax treatment

100% bonus depreciation is projected to generate roughly $38M of non-cash K-1 losses in Year 1 — approximately 109% of invested equity. A hypothetical $1M investment receives ~$1.09M of non-cash losses in Year 1, lifting the modeled average after-tax cash yield to 18.0% (vs. 5.1% pre-tax). Investors must rely solely on their own tax advisers.

07

A $6.05M value-add program — all in Year 1

Deployed at closing: a full unit refresh (new flooring and quartz countertops, ~$11K/unit; $2.42M), parking, landscaping and new boilers ($0.50M), a purpose-built 5,000 SF clubhouse and amenity barn ($2.30M) — online for Fall-2027 leasing — plus exterior cosmetics, contingency and all other ($0.83M), with the facility future-funding ~60% of the program. Together they support the +$175 and +$176 rent steps in 2027/28 and 2028/29. Limited construction risk: amenity-focused, not ground-up.

The Opportunity04

Legacy asset. Legacy location. Lasting value.

The Lodge endures for one reason: it is the address students choose first — fully furnished quality living a five-minute walk from CU Boulder, priced below everything around it.

Legacy Asset

Held since 2015.

Owned, operated and reinvested by Brickstone for over a decade — $17M+ of capital, two full-cycle recapitalizations (2019 and 2022), and occupancy that averaged 95%+ over the decade through 2025/26. Interiors nearly new, sprinklered throughout, fully furnished — a stewarded holding the sponsor knows building by building, not a trade.

Legacy Location

Five minutes to campus.

Irreplaceable land a short walk from the University of Colorado, in one of the most development-constrained markets in the country. They are not making more of this — and the City of Boulder makes certain of it.

The Value Leader

The more affordable option.

The Lodge leases first and stays full because it offers the best living just off campus at a rent the market cannot match — achieved new-lease rents sit roughly $308 per bed below the competitive set, leaving real pricing power to compound.

Asset Overview05

The Lodge at CU Boulder

Two three-story buildings around a central pool and clubhouse on a 5.1-acre site, 0.1 miles from campus. Concrete-and-steel construction delivers the durability and quiet that distinguish The Lodge from its wood-framed competitive set — at an in-place rent of $1,495 per bed and >95% historical occupancy.

Business Plan & Value Creation06

Three layers of value creation.

1 · Mark-to-market

Achieved new-lease rents of $1,548/bed sit well below the near-campus comp set, where CORE’s Hub Boulder ($2,279), Parker Off Pearl ($2,315) and Union Baseline ($1,666) all clear The Lodge. Rents hold at $1,548 in 2026/27 through an 82% blended occupancy year, then step +$175/bed in 2027/28 and +$176 plus 3.9% organic growth in 2028/29 to a $1,973 scheduled Year-3 average — with the full value-add program complete in 12 months supporting the ask — the single highest-conviction component of the plan.

2 · Value-add program — all in Year 1

The full program deploys at closing: interiors are refreshed with new flooring and quartz countertops, parking, landscaping and boilers are upgraded, and a new purpose-built clubhouse and amenity barn — pool, sauna, pickleball, grills and FF&E — is delivered in Year 1, online for Fall-2027 leasing, reinforcing the rent reversion and premium pricing.

3 · Redevelopment optionality

Five acres in the heart of Boulder carry embedded density under the site’s existing RH-5 zoning, subject to the City of Boulder’s entitlement process — detailed in the Redevelopment section below.

Value-Add Capital Plan
Interior renovation — flooring & quartz ($11K/unit × 220)$2.42M
Parking, landscape & new boilers$0.50M
Clubhouse building & FF&E — online Fall 2027$2.30M
Exterior cosmetics, contingency & all other$0.83M
Total CapEx — all Year 1 (~60% facility-funded)$6.05M

Rent plan under current underwriting assumptions: the achieved $1,548/bed pre-lease rent holds in 2026/27 through an 82% blended occupancy year, then steps +$175 in 2027/28 ($1,723) and +$176 plus 3.9% organic growth in 2028/29 to a $1,973 scheduled Year-3 average, continuing at 3.9% thereafter. Business-plan elements subject to change based on market, cost, regulatory and other conditions.

The Residences & Amenities07

Bright, furnished, move-in ready.

Renovated interiors with new flooring, quartz and stainless appliances — fully furnished and steps from campus, with Flatiron and mountain views from many homes. The new clubhouse, pool and amenity program comes online for Fall-2027 leasing.

Rent Comparables08

Below-market in a high-rent submarket.

The Lodge’s achieved new-lease rent of $1,548 per bed (in-place leased $1,495) sits below the average of both its newer-vintage ($1,856) and older-vintage ($1,644) competitive sets. The spread is stark at both ends of the market — this reflects the prior institutional owner’s drive for early, full lease-up, and it forms the basis for the mark-to-market opportunity.

Sensitivity Analysis09

Resilient returns across the realistic range.

Returns were stress-tested on the variable that matters most — the exit capitalization rate — from a best case to a true dislocation. The base case is itself a stress posture: 82% Year-1 occupancy, a 6.00% exit cap and the full $6.05M program funded at close. The live matrix below is computed by the same engine as the model above.

The Takeaway

Even the 7.00% worst case clears the full 8% preferred — the GP promote earns $0 and LPs still receive their preference — at an implied $293K/bed, below unrenovated 2026 comps: a true dislocation case. The below-market rent reversion, not cap-rate compression, drives the outcome.

Highly Advantageous Tax Treatment10

~$38M of Year-1 K-1 losses.

The One Big Beautiful Bill currently provides for 100% bonus depreciation on large portions of the building. Through a cost-segregation study, the partnership expects to pass through roughly $38 million of non-cash losses in Year 1 — approximately 109% of invested equity, or about $1,090,000 per $1 million invested — distributed on your Schedule K-1.

Returns are net to the LP over the targeted ~40-month hold, after an 8% cumulative preferred return and a 20% GP promote. After-tax figures assume 100% bonus depreciation and current usability of passive losses; the 1031 variant additionally assumes a like-kind exchange at sale. Year 1 is cash-neutral by design: the facility future-funds $3.65M of the $6.05M program and a pre-funded interest-carry reserve covers the leasing ramp, with distributions commencing in Year 2 and the preferred return accruing from close. Cash-on-cash reflects operating cash flow after debt service, excluding Year-1 capex. Actual returns are likely to differ, potentially materially, and no assurance is given that such returns will be achieved.

Brickstone co-invests ~10% of the recap equity ($3.5M cash) alongside LP capital ($31.3M, ~90%) — sponsor and investor dollars side by side. The $974,350 asset-management reserve funded at close is sized to exact disbursements through the targeted month-40 sale — no asset-management fee is paid from operating cash flow.

Debt & Capital Structure13

A capped floater — every exit open.

The new $68.68M senior facility floats at SOFR + 235 (6.01% at the current 3.66% SOFR), interest-only, with a 5.00% SOFR rate cap purchased at close and a 3.00% floor — a 24-month initial term plus three one-year extensions. No yield maintenance, a 0.25% exit fee only: the structure is built to sell or refinance early if conditions improve. A pre-funded interest-carry reserve sized at 3× the Year-1 shortfall makes the ramp year cash-neutral. No mezzanine or preferred equity.

Financial Performance & Projections14

The build: $4.27M to $7.22M of NOI.

Net operating income grows from $4.27M at the Year-1 occupancy trough to $6.19M in Year 2 and $7.22M by Year 3 — roughly +69% — driven first by the occupancy recovery, then by the rent reversion and the value-add program — a 7.22% Year-3 yield on cost.

UW Year 1 prices the occupancy trough: 82% blended (294 of 371 beds pre-leased at 8/17, vacancy concentrated in studios) at the achieved $1,548 rate — and ties to the lender’s own as-is underwritten cash flow (~$4.1M).

Section 16 · Optionality

Redevelopment opportunity.

Brickstone’s proposed redevelopment of the west portion of The Lodge site — future rendering; subject to entitlement.

High-density expansion on underutilized land.

The property today is two three-story buildings — an “I”-shaped and a “U”-shaped building — separated by a surface parking lot, a rare opportunity to materially increase density. Ownership has outlined a plan to demolish the “I”-building and construct a new five-story community on ~2.5 acres, delivering 544 beds / 132 units, while the “U”-building stays operational throughout construction.

A 260-space subterranean garage — sited outside the 100-year floodplain — preserves parking ratios while freeing surface land for higher-density use; the U-building retains 116 surface spaces. Best-in-class amenities, including a clubhouse and rooftop pool overlooking the Flatirons, elevate the asset’s competitive position.

Boulder Entitlement Process

The contemplated density and uses are consistent with the site’s existing RH-5 zoning — no rezoning is being sought. The plan remains subject to the City of Boulder’s full entitlement process, including development review and permitting. Brickstone has completed a pre-application review with the City and received positive feedback, and intends to begin the formal process immediately upon closing. Newmark’s National Student Housing team has provided an indicative, non-binding estimate that a development site of this size could be valued at approximately $52 million; this is not an appraisal or a guarantee of value.

Market & Submarket18

One of the nation’s most supply-constrained student markets.

Per Newmark Student Housing, only one student-housing development is currently under construction in the CU Boulder market — The Standard at Boulder (Landmark), delivering Fall 2027. With roughly a quarter of students housed on campus, approximately 29,000 require off-campus housing. Boulder’s height and density limits, annual residential-permit caps and open-space greenbelt produce persistent scarcity across every asset class.

Off-Campus Demand
students need housing

Approximately 2,000 additional beds sit in planning stages around CU Boulder — most facing the same entitlement and permit constraints. Landmark’s 900+ bed community (Fall 2027) appears priced well in excess of $2,000 per bed — above and outside The Lodge’s competitive set — a tailwind that lifts the market’s rent ceiling.

University of Colorado Boulder19

A premier public research university.

Established in 1876 against the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, CU Boulder is one of the premier public research universities in the United States — an R1 “very high research activity” institution spanning nine colleges and schools, more than 3,800 courses across 150 fields of study, and a student body drawn from all 50 states and over 100 countries.

Home to CIRES, the Laboratory for Atmospheric & Space Physics (LASP) and the BioFrontiers Institute. The Colorado Buffaloes compete in NCAA Division I as members of the Big 12 — anchoring school spirit, alumni engagement and sustained off-campus housing demand.

With roughly 9,534 on-campus beds against nearly 39,000 students, the overwhelming majority of upperclassmen live off campus — sustaining durable demand for well-located assets like The Lodge. Enrollment has grown roughly 25% over the past decade.

Boulder, Colorado20

Natural splendor meets an innovation economy.

Natural beauty & recreation

Boulder’s open-space program has preserved more than 45,000 acres of land. Chautauqua Park — a National Historic Landmark — anchors a network of trails into the Flatirons, while the Boulder Creek Path threads the city. That preservation ethos also constrains new development, reinforcing scarcity across every asset class.

Innovation & technology

Boulder is a hub of entrepreneurship and clean technology — home to a significant Google presence and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), with CU Boulder’s research capabilities catalyzing collaboration between academia and industry.

Risks & Mitigants21

Candid about the risks.

The following discussion is summary in nature and does not purport to describe all of the risks associated with the proposed investment.

Artificial intelligence & higher-education enrollment

The landscape is changing quickly, but we believe students will continue to invest in their education at “experiential” universities such as CU Boulder and other top-tier institutions.

Lease-up & occupancy recovery

The 2026/27 year opens ~80% pre-leased (294 of 371 beds; vacancy concentrated in studios), and underwriting assumes ~82% blended occupancy this year with a return to 95% from Fall-2027; a slower recovery or softer student demand would compress Year-1–2 cash flow, with the pre-funded carry reserve as the first buffer. Capturing the mark-to-market depends on the 2027 and 2028 leasing cycles. Mitigated by in-place rents already ~$361/bed below the newer-vintage comp average and 95%+ occupancy every year since 2015.

Entitlement & redevelopment

The plan is consistent with the site’s existing RH-5 zoning and has cleared a pre-application review with positive City feedback; however, it remains subject to the City of Boulder’s full entitlement process — development review, permitting and timing are uncertain. The redevelopment is upside, not underwritten in base-case returns; the asset performs as a stabilized hold without it. There can be no assurance that any redevelopment will be approved, commenced, or completed on the timeline or terms described herein, if at all.

Construction & value-add execution

The clubhouse, pool and exterior program carries cost and timing risk. Scope is limited and amenity-focused (no ground-up), interiors are recently renovated, and the budget reflects firm bids with no contingency reserve — overruns, if any, would be funded from operating cash flow.

Financing — floating rate

The $68.68M facility floats at SOFR + 235; a 5.00% SOFR cap (24-month term, renewals underwritten at $250K/$225K) bounds the coupon at 7.35% and a 3.00% floor sets a 5.85% minimum. The targeted month-40 sale sits inside the second one-year extension (0.25% fee, subject to customary tests: the Year-3 debt-yield and 1.20x DSCR tests both pass in base case). SOFR above the cap strike raises carry; conversely, no yield maintenance means falling rates open an early refinance or sale. A $6.52M minimum-interest provision is satisfied by the month-40 sale in base case.

New supply

Landmark’s 900+ bedroom community (delivering fall 2027) is the only new project currently under construction. Its pricing is unreleased but appears set well in excess of $2,000 per bed — above and outside our competitive set — a tailwind that lifts the market’s rent ceiling. Roughly 2,000 additional beds sit in various planning stages and may or may not be built, while Boulder’s height, density and permit limits continue to cap realized supply.

Regulatory & landlord legislation

Colorado has enacted increasingly tenant-favorable legislation over the past three years (eviction, fee and just-cause measures). Student housing leased by the bed with parental guaranties is comparatively insulated, and Brickstone’s long Colorado operating history positions it to adapt as rules evolve.

Boulder & Denver market reset

Both markets have absorbed a historic reset over the past three years, driven largely by elevated new supply. As of Q4 2025 Boulder vacancy appears to be tightening with positive absorption, and Denver is improving gradually as of Q1 2026.
