Why This Deal Is For You!

  • Your investment will be in an entity that will be registered as an Opportunity Zone fund.  Therefore, if you have other investments subject to capital gains tax (e.g. Tristan Townhomes) and you put those proceeds into this fund, all capital gains tax will be deferred until 2026 (unless an extension occurs).  Think of this like a 1031 exchange for the next 4 years, but without all of the rules and restrictions.  Your deferred capital gains can even be from a non-real estate investment.

  • If we hold the property for at least 7 years, you get a 15% discount on capital gains when we sell.  If we hold for at least 5 years, you get a 10% discount on capital gains when we sell.


  • The conservative return projections on this deal are higher than the typical, existing-asset syndications.  Not taking into account your tax savings, we are conservatively expecting greater than 3x your money in 8 yrs or less.

PROPERTY PROFILE

Local Aerial View with Train Station

To complement the proximity to the train station, the project design appeals to young, transient renters, underserved by the existing buildings in the area.  Smaller units and a higher quality amenity package will allow the Property to offer a more affordable alternative relative to older luxury buildings in the area.  Currently, there are only 143 studios in Harbor Point (out of 3,400 units), with most one-bedroom rents starting at $2,400-$2,500.  Studios at 523 Canal will start at $2,050.

  • Average unit size of 609 SF with 72 studios, 70 efficiencies, and 41 one-bed units
  • Luxury interior finishes comparable to other new developments in Stamford
  • Amenities will include a pool, fitness center, shared working areas, tech packages, and seamless connectivity
  • Hudson Table will lease the building’s retail space and operate a coffee shop and cooking-based event space.  They currently operate locations in Hoboken, NJ, and Philadelphia.
  • Walking distance to the Stamford Metro North train station and a 40-minute commute to Grand Central Station in NYC.

Co-Founder & COO
Sterling Rhino Capital

Paul gained his business experience working in the commercial construction industry for over 20 years in the NY/NJ market. Joining a 100-year-old commercial painting and flooring company at the age of 23, Paul became an expert in estimating and project management while working closely with general contractors and architects on some of the largest and most high-profile construction projects in the Northeast. The success of Sterling Rhino Capital has enabled Paul to realize his dream of going full-time into real estate investing. Paul left the world of commercial subcontracting in 2020 after 21 years and is now putting 100% of his time and efforts into Sterling Rhino Capital as the COO. "Being able to wake up every day and work on something that I'm truly passionate about is such a blessing. It brings so much joy and fulfillment to teach people about this little-known investment vehicle that can lead to life-changing wealth."

Paul’s interest in investing started in the stock market 15 years ago. Although he has had great success since then using that vehicle, he found something that he believes is better. The income, above average returns, amazing tax benefits, low volatility, and security of multifamily apartment investing is what Paul believes is the key to financial freedom.
