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 $245/bed rent step in 2027/28 and a further $170 in 2028/29.

The opportunity is rare: a proven, fully renovated core asset at a post-reset basis, with in-place rents roughly $357 per bed below market. 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 $4,000,000 alongside the LPs, retaining an ~8% 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 $721,000 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 — in-place rents of $1,495 per bed sit well below a $1,856 newer-vintage comp average and a $1,985 Year-3 average rent (+$245/bed in 2027/28, +$170 in 2028/29, plus 3.9% organic growth), on fixed-rate financing at low leverage. 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: rent growth 3.9% per year from Year 3 · operating-expense growth 3.0% per year · economic vacancy & loss 5.0% per year (vacancy, concessions & credit loss) · exit cap rate 5.70% 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.

Waterfall: 8% cumulative, compounding preferred (pro-rata to LP ~92% / GP ~8% capital) → pro-rata return of capital → residual 80% LP / 20% GP. Asset-management fee (30 bps, growing 3%/yr) is paid from a reserve funded at close and sized through the sale date — 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 in-place rents roughly $357 per bed below market. The near-campus set leases from $1,666 (Union Baseline) to $2,279 (CORE’s Hub) and $2,315 (Parker Off Pearl) — all well above The Lodge; an organic mark-to-market is 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 >95% occupancy every year.

03

Fixed-rate debt, low leverage

The new $51M agency senior loan is fixed at 6.00% and interest-only for its full five-year term at a conservative ~54% LTV — fixed-rate debt removes rate exposure through the value-add window and the targeted month-40 sale, and low leverage preserves operating cash flow. The value-add program is fully equity-funded at close — the plan does not depend on operating cash flow.

04

Returns resilient under stress

Underwriting holds up even in a punitive low case: a 100 bp wider 6.70% exit cap and rents $100/bed below plan would still model to approximately a 7.5% net LP IRR, before any tax benefit. 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 $36M of non-cash K-1 losses in Year 1 — approximately 72% of invested equity. A hypothetical $1M investment receives ~$721K of non-cash losses in Year 1, lifting the modeled average after-tax cash yield to 14.0% (vs. 6.1% 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 cosmetic upgrades ($0.83M). Together they support the +$245 and +$170 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 95%+ occupancy every single year. 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 — in-place rents sit roughly $357 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% occupancy.

Business Plan & Value Creation06

Three layers of value creation.

1 · Mark-to-market

In-place rents of $1,495/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 steady in 2026/27, then step +$245/bed in 2027/28 and +$170 in 2028/29 — with 3.9% organic growth lifting the Year-3 average to $1,985 — 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 cosmetic upgrades$0.83M
Total CapEx — all deployed Year 1 (cash-funded)$6.05M

Rent plan under current underwriting assumptions: in-place $1,495/bed holds in 2026/27, +$245 in 2027/28 ($1,740), +$170 in 2028/29 ($1,910), with 3.9% organic growth lifting the Year-3 average to $1,985 and continuing 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 in-place rent of $1,495 per bed 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 across the two variables that matter most — the exit capitalization rate and the stabilized rent level. The live matrix below is computed by the same engine as the model above; the published OM row is marked.

Published exit-cap sensitivity — Net LP

Net LP IRR / MOIC after pref and promote, at the targeted month-40 sale; the exit cap is applied to forward 12-month NOI at sale; base case 5.70%. The deal still clears a mid-teens net LP IRR 50 bps wide of base, before any tax benefit.

The Takeaway

Even in the punitive low case — a 100 bp wider 6.70% exit cap and rents $100/bed below plan — the recapitalization still models to a ~7.5% net LP IRR (~1.3x), before any tax benefit. The below-market rent reversion, not cap-rate compression, drives the outcome. The live matrix extends to a 7.00% cap for further stress-testing.

Highly Advantageous Tax Treatment10

~$36M 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 $36 million of non-cash losses in Year 1 — approximately 72% of invested equity, or about $721,000 per $1 million invested — distributed on your Schedule K-1.

Tax-benefit figures assume 100% bonus depreciation, current usability of passive losses and a 1031 exchange at sale. Year 1 is a net capital call as the full $6.05M program is deployed (equity-funded in the commitment at close); cash distributions commence in Year 2, with 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 ~8% of the recap equity ($4.0M cash) alongside LP capital ($46.9M, ~92%) — 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

Fixed-rate, low leverage.

The new agency senior loan is fixed at 6.00% and interest-only for its full five-year term at ~54% LTV — the targeted month-40 sale falls inside the loan term, so no refinancing is assumed; yield maintenance (~$1.61M) is underwritten at sale. No mezzanine debt — a single, low-cost senior loan funds the recapitalization.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Demand Engine

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 & rent reversion

Capturing the below-market mark-to-market depends on the 2026–2028 leasing cycles, and softer student demand could slow it. Mitigated by rents already ~$357/bed below the comp set and 95%+ occupancy every year since 2014.

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

The $51M senior loan is fixed at 6.00% and interest-only for its full five-year term at a conservative ~54% LTV; the targeted month-40 sale falls inside the loan term, so no refinancing is assumed. Yield maintenance on the early payoff (~$1.6M) is underwritten; a hold beyond the loan term would require refinancing at then-market rates.

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.
