WE ARE AFFORDABLE UPSTATE

Our mission is to modernize and preserve naturally occurring affordable housing in the Upstate of South Carolina by investing in communities that are as equally fulfilling for our residents as they are strategic for our investors. We believe that building and sustaining strong communities helps everyone.

HELPING COMMUNITIES THRIVE

We revitalize apartment complexes that have declined due to indifference by creating local partnerships with investors, lenders, nonprofits, contractors, brokers and vendors that share our vision for building strong, healthy and sustainable communities.

MULTIFAMILY

ACQUISITIONS

We acquire affordable, workforce and mixed-income properties throughout the Southeast. We have the capability to acquire large multi-state portfolios or individual assets as small as 20 units, using a combination of investor equity and conventional or agency financing. We use numerous execution methods to ensure certainty of closing and optimal pricing for the seller.

PRESERVATION

PARTNERSHIPS

We partner with nonprofit owners of affordable housing in unique and flexible ways. Our aim is to provide resources and solutions that develop, preserve, and revitalize residences to ensure top quality and performance. Alignment on mission and championing long-term collaborative partnerships are the keys to our success.

NEW

DEVELOPMENT

New-construction living doesn’t have to be reserved for those who can afford luxury residences. We partner with local stakeholders and stack affordable housing incentives so that investors and community resident can benefit from increased development of local affordable housing.
