Situated on 1.5 acres in Midtown, Atlanta, the 12th & Juniper multifamily project includes two towers—one 37 stories and another 34 stories tall—totaling 1,012,000 sq ft and 487 units. It features an eight-level parking deck, ground-level retail space, and pools on both the ninth floor and the rooftop.

Middle Street Partners (“MSP”) has completed a recapitalization with Inceptiv Management that will allow the multifamily investment and development firm to target $1 billion of early cycle developments and acquisitions over the next two-to-three years.

The recapitalization also includes a significant capital commitment from a partnership of high-net-worth individuals operating as Cannery Woods, LLC. Part of a very unique niche strategy, the transaction strengthens MSP’s ability to acquire new assets, recapitalizes GP investments across MSP’s existing portfolio of assets, buys out its previous minority GP owner, and increases the firm’s guarantee capacity for future growth of its development business throughout the Sunbelt, according to co-founders Adam Monroe and Ryan Knapp.

“This transaction facilitates our goal of continued early-cycle investment volume and marks the continued long-time partnership between MSP and the Principals of Inceptiv and Cannery Woods,” said Monroe. “Their knowledge of our business and a track record of success between our respective firms create an ideal fit as we look towards the continued growth of MSP,” Knapp added.
