Ashcroft Capital Expands Dallas Presence with Acquisition of Luxury Birchstone Cedar Ridge Community

In a strategic move designed to enhance its expansive portfolio, Ashcroft Capital, a fully integrated multifamily investment firm, has successfully acquired Birchstone Cedar Ridge, a state-of-the-art luxury garden-style community located in Dallas. This recent purchase of the property, erected in 2024, signifies Ashcroft's ongoing commitment to securing high-end, institutional-grade apartment communities.

With this acquisition, Birchstone Residential, an affiliate property management entity belonging to Ashcroft, will take the helm to offer top-tier services to the residents of Cedar Ridge. The transaction saw the collaboration of investment giants; Pearlmark Real Estate and Temerity Strategic Partners jointly contributed to the deal, marking the second joint venture engagement between Ashcroft and Pearlmark in 2025.

The Class-A property, formerly known as Jefferson Cedar Ridge, comprises 360 apartments and elevates Ashcroft's multifamily presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to twenty properties. Frank Roessler, the founder and CEO of Ashcroft Capital, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are excited to expand our Birchstone brand with the acquisition of Cedar Ridge apartments." He further highlighted the aligned objectives with their partners toward acquiring properties that permit Ashcroft to exert their renowned customer service, thus promoting rent growth and retention.

Positioned at 6165 Ridge Center Drive, the community comes with luxurious one-, two-, and three-bedroom units complemented by an extensive suite of amenities. These include a resort-style pool with cabanas, an enclosed dog park, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a business center equipped with cutting-edge facilities, an EV-charging station, and services like 24-hour emergency maintenance.

The apartments boast of exquisite interiors, featuring undermount kitchen sinks, granite countertops, up-to-date cabinetry, contemporary lighting, and smart thermostats, ensuring that residents experience the epitome of modern, convenient living.

Scott Lebenhart, Ashcroft's Chief Investment Officer, praised the acquisition: "It has a wide array of onsite features that should serve to attract and retain residents, and it's located in an area with great shopping, award-winning schools, museums, and parks." Ashcroft anticipates leveraging their pronounced Metroplex presence to introduce cost efficiencies and enhance the operational yields for Birchstone Cedar Ridge.

Stephen Quazzo, CEO and co-founder of Pearlmark, echoed optimism regarding the venture. "This is truly a best-in-class asset that offers a unique resident experience in this submarket," he remarked, confident in the collective ability of Ashcroft and Birchstone Residential to steer the property toward outstanding performance.

Expanding beyond Texas, Ashcroft holds a diverse portfolio in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina and is energetically exploring additional prospects within the Sun Belt. This move reinforces Ashcroft's stature as a leader in the multifamily housing sector and underscores its ability to orchestrate prominent transactions, reflecting an unyielding pursuit of growth and community development.
