The Ace was a new construction, premier suburban multifamily development located in Round Rock, TX, within the Austin MSA. The project was developed through a joint venture between Mesa Capital Partners and LIV Development.

The project is located along University Boulevard, a major artery through Round Rock, amongst retail, education, and employment centers within Round Rock. The location is adjacent to three higher education campuses (Texas State, Austin Community College, and Texas A&M Health Science Center) and a hospital (Seton Medical Center). Once a sleepy suburb on the outskirts of Austin, Round Rock has exploded onto the national scene as a “super suburb” with unprecedented population, economic, education, and cultural growth.

Mesa’s investment in The Ace was structured as a joint venture equity co-investment whereby LIV Development contributed 38% of the equity, and Mesa contributed 62% of the equity to complete the 330-unit development.
