K7 Capital Partners is an Austin-headquartered alternative investment firm with a specialised investment model: acquire shuttered institutional properties (universities, colleges, hospitals) at deep discounts and redevelop them into mixed-use intergenerational urban villages. The firm has branded this model as the K7 Centenarian Village — integrated communities combining senior living, student housing, workforce housing, multifamily, hospitality, retail, and renewable energy infrastructure.

The current portfolio consists of three flagship 506(c) Reg D real estate funds, raising a combined $312M:

1. Notre Dame Centenarian Village ($212M) — the landmark deal. A 50-acre, 300,000 SF college campus in Greater Cleveland, closed in 2023, being redeveloped as Cleveland's first 5-minute walkable Smart Urban Village. Anchored by a 15-year lease (extendable to 30 years) with a 165-year-old partnering college for a Satellite Health Sciences Campus (PA + Nursing programs).
2. K7 Urban Village Fund – Texas BTR ($50M) — ground-up Build-To-Rent duplex communities in San Antonio, Texas. Target IRR 15–20%+, Equity Multiple 2.5x–5.5x.
3. K7 Real Estate Income Fund – Austin Hospitality ($50M) — value-add hospitality assets on Lake Travis, Austin, TX. Target IRR 12–16% with 7–12% annual cash yield. $20M debt secured.

Over $100M in grants, historic tax credits, and incentive programs are available to the Notre Dame project alone over the next two years. The combined three-fund portfolio is projected to produce $5.4B in cumulative 10-year regional economic output and 1,500+ new direct and indirect jobs.

K7's competitive model is built around three structural advantages: (1) deep-discount acquisition of shuttered institutional assets (colleges, hospitals, campuses) that have failed their original mission; (2) incentive-stacking via Historic Tax Credits (HTC), Tax Increment Financing (TIF), Opportunity Zones, and Low-Carbon Incentive Programs that can represent 20–40% of project capital; and (3) mixed-use intergenerational redevelopment that captures demand across housing, hospitality, retail, healthcare, education, and clean energy within a single site.

The model's anchor innovation is the Centenarian Village concept — a 5-minute walkable campus that integrates senior living, workforce housing, student housing, multifamily, hospitality, retail, renewable energy infrastructure, and AI cloud computing centres. The Notre Dame flagship is the first fully executed Centenarian Village, with all ten phases planned.

The Notre Dame redevelopment is projected to deliver 1,500+ new direct & indirect jobs and $5.4B in cumulative regional economic activity (2025–2035), driven by seven integrated revenue engines:

• Healthcare workforce training — via the 15-year PA + Nursing program lease with the partnering 165-year-old institution.
• Student and faculty spending — stabilised ~250+ on-campus enrolment with growth to 650 capacity.
• Retail and hospitality growth — 41 retail shops, 120-suite historic hotel, 900-seat theater as regional arts hub.
• Clean energy infrastructure — 15 MW turquoise hydrogen power plant powering the entire village.
• AI and digital economy investments — 200-rack cloud computing center supporting local and outsourced compute demand.
• Housing and construction activity — 327 workforce + 200 senior + 120 duplex + 240 multifamily = 887 residential units.
• Increased city and county tax revenue — over $100M in new tax revenue projected over the decade.
