Ignored downtowns can once again become tomorrow's thriving centers of commerce and walkable lifestyles. Our job is to acquire key assets, create a dynamic mix of uses, and to identify the partnerships necessary to make it so. We are committed to "sustainability" in every sense of the word. We recycle neighborhoods and spur economic growth that makes our investments and our target communities grow.

CEO Michael Lemanski's first engineering job was to clean up a contaminated historic paper mill so that the owner could demolish it. Seeing a lost opportunity to rebuild value from distress, Michael developed a business model that would transform dormant downtowns. He moved back home to Durham, N.C. and spent 15 years demonstrating how redeveloping historic structures can be both profitable and help create a new sense of possibility.
We focus on downtowns that are underperforming their market potential and have low cost real estate assets. We invest in a concentrated, critical mass of properties within these places and commit to a disciplined, master development approach for creating value. Put simply: We buy low; we buy in bulk; and we let data and strategy drive our decisions.
