MSP and Cove Communities recap MH portfolio

MSP and a Canadian-based investment manager founded Cove Communities with two industry experts to acquire and operate high-quality manufactured housing communities (MHC) in the US, Canada and the UK. Since inception, the partnership has acquired 55 communities with ~21,000 sites and a gross asset value of over $3BN. The Cove founders retired in 2024 and MSP recapitalized their equity interests in six high-quality, age-restricted MH communities in Florida, comprising 5,278 sites.​ These communities are among the top institutional-quality MHC assets in the U.S., offering resort-style amenities, low-density layouts, and strong demographic tailwinds from Florida’s growing 55+ population. ​ The portfolio has demonstrated consistent revenue and NOI growth (~8.5% and ~7.7% CAGR, respectively), with 98%+ occupancy and significant rent mark-to-market opportunities. ​ The investment projects attractive risk-adjusted returns with continued growth through annual rent increases, site conversions, and capital improvements, supported by conservative leverage (35% LTV) and favorable market fundamentals.
