Redevelop. Thrive.

We look to breathe new life into structures, while maintaining the original fabric of the community.

Our Strategy

We want to counterpoint every challenge with an equally strong, opportunistic response.  Economic trends suggest there is a shortage of housing inventory.  This is where we are able to participate in providing a basic human need through investing in an asset class that has weathered recessions, depressions, tech bubbles, and pandemics with less volatility by comparison to other segments of the commercial real estate industry.

  redevelopment activities strive to identify, and juxtapose, a problem with a thoughtful solution.

Our Purpose

We see ourselves investing in neighborhoods where formerly thriving single family housing product is aging as its service life has passed it by.  We strive to breathe new life into well located existing shell building structures, whenever possible, to maintain the original fabric of the community while also bringing them forward in time with rehabilitation efforts that restore their highest utility and standing in the neighborhood.
