We are principals who lead the work, sweat the details, deliver the insight, achieve the consensus, negotiate the contracts, and manage the vendors on behalf of our investors and clients to deliver successful projects.

Balance Sheet  Investments

Rift Valley invests its own capital to transform communities in a variety of high-growth markets.  This stakeholder’s approach to investments allows us to tailor our financing to the needs of each project rather than simply deploying capital to meet a pre-determined mandate or generate fees.  

We are deep believers in urban-infill development and its power to leverage existing infrastructure, shorten commute times, and create inclusive, more interesting communities. The end result is higher-risk adjusted returns through projects that offer multiple means of competitive differentiation.  

Areas of expertise include: 

  • Affordable and mixed-income housing

  • Large-scale public-private ventures

  • Hospitality 

  • Medical office
