verbatim from the press

MRV&Co (MRVE3) sold two residential complexes in Texas — Ten Oaks and Rayzor Ranch — for US$139 million (R$716 million), with settlement expected in July 2026. The transaction reduces the company's consolidated net debt by US$87 million, a 7.5% drop, and cuts US$46 million in minority interest — stakes held by non-controlling partners in the projects. MRV Engenharia e Participações S.A., a real estate developer listed on B3, operates in the U.S. market through its subsidiary Resia.

Money Times

"a transação reduz o endividamento líquido consolidado da MRV&CO em US$ 87 milhões (R$ 448 milhões), o equivalente a uma queda de 7,5%. Além disso, haverá redução de US$ 46 milhões (R$ 237 milhões) em participações de minoritários."

The sale occurs amid high interest rates in the United States and with the properties not yet stabilized: occupancy and rental rates below potential, according to the company. The transaction will result in a 26% accounting loss relative to the assets' book value, but MRV states that the deleveraging benefits justify bringing forward the sale. The buyer of Rayzor Ranch, a 322-unit complex in Denton, Texas, is Resia — a Miami-based property operator — according to the trade publication REBusinessOnline, which reported in April 2026 that JLL arranged acquisition financing through private equity firm ACRE.

"A venda ocorre em meio ao cenário de juros elevados nos Estados Unidos e à expectativa de novas altas, além de os projetos ainda não apresentarem operação estabilizada, com taxa de ocupação e aluguel abaixo do potencial. A operação implicará uma perda contábil de 26% em relação ao valor patrimonial dos empreendimentos"

"JLL has arranged acquisition financing for Resia Rayzor Ranch, a 322-unit apartment community located in the North Texas city of Denton... Jesse Wright, Philip Galligan and Lauren Dow of JLL arranged the loan through private equity firm ACRE on behalf of the borrower, Miami-based owner-operator Resia."

Since announcing Resia's restructuring plan in December 2024, MRV has sold US$380 million in assets. The goal is to reach US$800 million in divestitures by the end of 2026. After this transaction closes, only the Memorial property will remain among Resia's legacy projects, with a book value of US$109 million. The company expects to complete its sale this year.

"Desde o anúncio do plano de desalavancagem da Resia, em dezembro de 2024, a companhia já vendeu US$ 380 milhões (R$ 2 bilhões) em ativos."

Money Times

"Após a conclusão da transação, restará apenas o empreendimento Memorial entre os projetos legados da Resia. O ativo possui valor patrimonial de US$ 109 milhões e a expectativa da companhia é concluir sua venda ainda em 2026."

Resia accumulated US$695 million in debt and posted a US$243 million loss in 2025, according to InvestNews. Markets like Dallas, Houston, and Atlanta faced oversupply, compressing rents and delaying project stabilization. In March 2026, Resia sold the Tributary complex in Georgia for US$73 million — an asset described as fully stabilized.

"Como mostrou o InvestNews, no ano passado a Resia teve prejuízo de US$ 243 milhões e acumulou US$ 695 milhões em dívida. Mercados como Dallas, Houston e Atlanta enfrentaram excesso de oferta, que comprimiu aluguéis e atrasou a estabilização dos projetos."

InvestNews

"Em março, a Resia havia vendido o complexo Tributary, na Geórgia, por US$ 73 milhões, um ativo descrito como totalmente estabilizado e de ocupação madura."
