SDS Capital Group has started a new debt platform to finance more than $1 billion in new affordable housing units.
Under SDS Impact Debt, the company plans to provide construction loans and below-market permanent loans to develop or preserve the units over the next 18 months.
The developer did not specify any exact regions it would target. It has $1.7 billion worth of assets under management and has invested in over 8,000 affordable housing units in the country. Of that, nearly three-quarters has been set aside for families making 80 percent of the area median income or for those who are homeless.

The move on the platform comes after Infinity Real Estate Partners received a $18.75 million investment in its 1,068-unit affordable housing portfolio located in the Carolinas, earlier this year from SDS' joint venture, American South Capital Partners. The assets are spread across seven different communities in the region. The JV also provided a separate $4.23 million preferred equity investment to Infinity, relating to another affordable housing community that consists of 168 units, in September 2024.
