Disciplined real estate investment across the Sunbelt
Built to endure. Not to transact.
ABOUT
Parkmont Capital Partners ("Parkmont") is a privately held real estate investment management firm focused on multifamily investments across the Sunbelt. Parkmont targets the lower-to-middle market, a fragmented and less efficiently priced segment of the U.S. multifamily market.
Parkmont manages and executes every aspect of the business plan and drives value through precise, hands-on execution, expertly managing capital on behalf of its investors. Parkmont was founded in 2026 by Jack Palms and is headquartered in Dallas, TX.
STRATEGY
Parkmont's strategy is simple: Core-Plus and Value-Add.
Core-Plus
Recently built or newly delivered garden, wrap, podium and 3–4 story walk-up communities in suburban-infill submarkets, lease-up or stabilized, acquired at a basis that supports durable cash flow and a meaningful discount to replacement cost. Returns are driven by operational efficiency and targeted improvements.
Criteria: 200+ units | 2015 vintage or newer | Transitional suburban-infill locations
Parkmont seeks out dislocations created by the capital markets environment to drive risk-adjusted returns.
Value-Add
Class B+ and B communities, and select Class C, that have been mismanaged or under-capitalized, acquired at a discount to value. Hands-on execution drives rent growth and value-add is concentrated on exteriors and common areas and targeted interior renovations.
Criteria: 200+ units | 1980s vintage or newer | Infill locations
Parkmont employs a disciplined, cycle-aware investment approach, acquiring assets it believes are undervalued by the capital markets. It sources opportunities primarily off market, through long-standing relationships with developers, owner-operators, lenders and brokers, and through distressed asset and note (NPL) purchases. It capitalizes transactions through Joint Venture partnerships, serving as Co-General Partner or sole General Partner. Asset management is retained in-house, and day-to-day property management is handled by best-in-class third-party partners under Parkmont's direct oversight and control.
