Investment Thesis

We revitalize underperforming properties, transforming them into spaces that meet the needs of today’s businesses. By prioritizing value-add investments with a five-to-seven-year time horizon, we focus on unlocking the potential of underutilized assets across the industrial, retail, and office sectors.  We see potential in transforming spaces to meet evolving market demands, creating vibrant communities and strong returns for our investors.


We also perform ground-up development, specializing in mid-rise multi-family in the Madison Metro.  Working with local partners, we have a strong track record of developing thoughtful and spirited living spaces with strong community engagement.
