Who We Are

We focus on the strategic acquisition and development of land, retail, and multi-family properties throughout the Carolinas. We have the keen ability to see what is and the foresight to envision what could be.

We have built our reputation by working with deeply vetted investors, financial institutions, and business partners, that share a similar mission and core values. Unlike other firms in the industry, as the lead sponsor of the project, we believe in also being the majority share investor. Thus, demonstrating our confidence and commitment to every project, which aligns our risk, accountability and return profile with our investors and partners.

Our Goals

Our goals are to create socially conscious projects that make solid returns and to have our firm become an integral part of the communities where we invest. The proven ability to create a healthy stream of funds allows us to grow our portfolio and to extend our impact.

Our Project Team & Business Partners

We pride ourselves on selecting team members and business partners that have deep roots and knowledge in the markets that we invest. This exemplifies our belief that local team members and business partners have a stronger commitment and desire to our project’s success.
