Jackson Walker proudly represented emerging sponsors Collin Cooper and Ryan Moore, who lead the Dallas-based private real estate investment firm, Palmetto Capital, in a significant co-investment transaction for the acquisition and management of Ascend at Ventana Lakes, a premier multifamily community in Katy, Texas.

Palmetto Capital teamed up with two well-respected Texas family offices to acquire Ascend at Ventana Lakes. This marks a major milestone for the firm since its founding in 2022. The transaction is sponsored by Palmetto Capital.

Jackson Walker’s multidisciplinary team—co-led by Dallas tax partners William Hornberger and Brady Cox and including attorneys Garrett Lessman, Ryan Quade, and Brian Harris—advised Palmetto Capital on the structuring, negotiation, and documentation of the co-investment, asset management, and fee-sharing arrangements. The matter underscores the firm’s experience in complex transactional tax and investment matters.
