DALLAS, TX – April 23, 2025 – Ascent Investment Partners, a Texas-based real estate investment firm specializing in strategic land acquisitions, is pleased to announce the successful first closing of Ascent Fund II, securing $82 million in investor commitments. The fund will focus on acquiring, repositioning, and strategically exiting land investments across the Texas Triangle, capitalizing on the region’s robust economic and population growth.
“We are bullish on the Texas Triangle and believe that the strong job and population growth will continue to create great investment opportunities in the land sector. ” said David Marshall, Co-Founder of Ascent Investment Partners. Building on the success of Ascent’s prior investments, Ascent Fund II will continue leveraging the firm’s proprietary deal-sourcing platform, strategic partnerships, and deep market expertise to identify high-potential land opportunities. Since its inception in 2021, Ascent Investment Partners has acquired 18 properties totaling over 660 acres and approximately $160 million in value.
The fund will focus on three primary strategies: acquiring well-positioned land for resale, partnering with developers through joint ventures, and executing horizontal development to maximize land value. Ascent Fund II is uniquely positioned to capitalize on current market dislocations, targeting the high-growth Texas Triangle, a region projected to see a 65% population increase over the next 40 years. “We believe that the timing of this fund will lead to a unique opportunity to make good buys and great exits for our investors as the Texas real estate market recovers from the shock of rising interest rates over the past few years. ” said Tim Dosch, Co-Founder of Ascent Investment Partners.
