Real Estate Innovation Rooted in Community.

EVI partners with cities and residents to transform overlooked urban neighborhoods through collaborative, long-term real estate innovation.

Who we are

EVI is a private real estate production, innovation, and investment firm dedicated to uncovering opportunities in overlooked, growing urban neighborhoods with strong demand for new housing and commercial growth.   We deliver innovative approaches to development — whether in design, financing, wealth building, education, or placemaking — to create lasting change in the communities we serve. We believe in a collaborative planning approach, working hand-in-hand with city leaders and residents to solve complex challenges.   Our goal is to expand housing at all levels, with a particular focus on workforce and affordable housing, to reinforce the American dream and the promise of a safety net.
