The $11.2M Bridge to Success: How One Banker is Reshaping San Antonio's Housing Future
In the heartbeat of San Antonio, where urban energy meets opportunity, a vision was brought to life. The Villas at Bella Vista isn't just another development—it's a testament to what happens when vision meets strategic financing.
The Villas at Bella Vista emerged as a thoughtfully designed 43-unit Build-to-Rent community, standing ready for its next phase. While the foundation was solid and the potential clear, like any ambitious project, it needed the right financial bridge to transition from construction to a thriving asset.
Enter Mackenzie Campbell. With her pulse on the commercial real estate market and a strategic mind for financing, Mackenzie understood that this wasn't just a transaction—it was a pivotal moment for both the developer and the community.
Working with Arixa Capital, Mackenzie orchestrated an $11.2-million bridge loan—a deal designed to:
Secure essential liquidity
Provide operational flexibility
Ensure successful lease-up
For HHS Residential, the developer, this meant more than just capital—it meant breathing room. The ability to:
Hold strong through market fluctuations
Maintain quality tenant placement
Position for optimal long-term financing when the timing was right
Mackenzie saw what many overlook: the human impact. The Villas at Bella Vista weren't just units; they were homes designed for:
First-time homebuyers not quite ready to purchase
Empty nesters looking for simplicity
Young professionals seeking high-quality living without traditional rental constraints
At 1,840 square feet average unit size, complete with private backyards and attached garages, the development set a new standard in Build-to-Rent excellence. It needed a financing partner that could match its quality and potential—and found one through Mackenzie's expertise.
In a market where timing and capital define success, Mackenzie's expertise ensured her client was ahead of the curve. Her ability to align capital with vision sets her apart—not just as a mortgage banker, but as a financial architect of opportunity.
The deal was closed. The foundation for long-term success was laid. And with every move, Mackenzie continues to bridge the gap between capital and transformation—one deal at a time.
