NexPoint Marina II DST
We are pleased to present the NexPoint Marina II DST, an offering comprised of two stabilized, full-service marina assets with demonstrated demand, high occupancy, and embedded growth potential. Located in Tennessee and Kentucky both properties are characterized by strong underlying demand and limited slip availability. The Stardust Property (located in Andersonville, TN) and the Kuttawa Property (located in Kuttawa, KY) each serve as a regional destination marinas. Given their close proximity to Knoxville and Nashville, respectively, they both draw local and visiting boaters to their waterfront sites. They benefit from established operating histories, strategic locations within highly trafficked recreational boating corridors, the durable fundamentals of the U.S. recreational boating market, and diversified revenue streams that include fuel, food & beverage, retail, and rental offerings which enhance the Master Tenants' ability to meet their Master Lease obligations. Importantly, we believe both assets offer embedded growth potential through recently completed and planned slip expansions, positioning the portfolio to capture waitlist demand and drive incremental revenue. The Sponsor believes that the Properties present an attractive long-term investment opportunity due to, in part, favorable submarket demographics, nearby retail drivers, continued and strengthening demand for Marina Properties, constrained supply of Marina Properties, the high quality of each asset, swift physical occupancy lease-up velocities, and the long-term strength of the sector.
