We are a principal
We build affordable
housing, and we advise
others who build it.
Four developments in Kansas City and St. Louis. 254 homes. Real deals, real risk, real closings.
How we develop
Five ways a deal gets done.
9% LIHTC
Competitive tax credit applications, scored against every other developer in the state.
4% LIHTC + Bonds
Non-competitive credits paired with tax-exempt bond financing.
Mixed Income
Blended income communities rather than single-band housing.
Transit Oriented
Housing sited where people can actually reach work without a car.
Faith Based Partnerships
Congregations with land and a mission, and no idea how to develop it.
What it looks like
It starts on dirt and ends with keys.
A podium on bare ground is not a photo opportunity. It is the point where the financing closed, the approvals held, and a site that had nothing on it became a development with a delivery date.

Not one of the ten largest developers publishes this. We do.
A congregation with land is not asking whether we are good. They are asking whether a firm our size can execute. Here is exactly how it goes.
Stage 1
Site & concept
What you bring. Land, a building, or a corner nobody has solved.
Stage 2
Feasibility
What we test before anyone spends money.
Stage 3
Financing
LIHTC, bonds, and the gap nobody warns you about.
Stage 4
Approvals
Zoning, and the community conversation that decides it.
Stage 5
Build & deliver
Construction partner, schedule, lease-up.
Partners
We develop. We partner for the rest.
We are not vertically integrated and we do not pretend to be. We develop, and we partner for construction, management and capital. We are actively looking for the next one.
Bring a site
Land, or a building worth converting.
Bring land and a mission
Congregations and nonprofits sitting on an asset they cannot use.
Bring capital
Equity and debt partners who want housing that gets built.
Why the record matters
Four developments. Every one is still ours to finish.
Alumnus Gardens was delivered, damaged by a tornado, and is being rebuilt. The Mabion is complete. Alumnus Gardens West and Promise Place are under construction. We stayed with every one of them.
A consultant can walk away when the report is done. A developer cannot. That is why we know what it takes to get from dirt to keys.
