Real Estate Impact Investing is a subset of Impact Investing, focused solely on investing within the Real Estate asset class. The primary goal of Real Estate Impact Investing is to invest in real estate assets that can simultaneously achieve financial returns with measured environmental and social impact. There are various strategies within Real Estate Impact Investing, including Green Real Estate, Affordable Housing, and Sustainable Communities.

GREEN REAL ESTATE

Green Real Estate strategies concentrate on applying environmentally-sustainable principles into our projects. This can be achieved by improving energy and water efficiency, using locally-sourced materials, and improving the safety of as-built assets. We also focus on reducing waste by recycling during all phases of the development lifecycle, banning the use of single use plastic during construction, and providing bottle fillers at all our new construction projects to promote an environmentally conscious mindset.

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Housing Affordability strategies concentrate on maintaining the affordability of the as-built and future built environment. Our goal is to increase the housing supply by providing new inventory to an underserved portion of the population. Many of our projects are focused on workforce housing with a higher affordability threshold.

SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

Sustainable Community strategies concentrate on designing and building real estate that serves as a foundation for neighborhood growth. Here, our goal is to deliver projects that are designed with the local community’s input, provide central congregation areas for public interactivity and connection, and serve certain essential needs of the neighborhood. We strive to create homes within our projects that support the culture and cohesiveness of their neighborhoods.
