  • One of our core strategies that has emerged, and caught a lot of attention nationwide, is attainable housing, which is a fully furnished studio... [which] has become particularly popular in authentic, historic small cities such as Downtown Winter Haven.

  • Steve and I met at a time when numerous public officials were asking me to help them with workforce housing solutions. The efficiency and quality of life elements we offer were immediately well received by major employers and economic development partners.

We envision a future where nurses, technicians, educators, students, hospitality workers, and essential city services personnel can afford to live where they work, thrive, and contribute. Our mission is to eradicate the crippling housing burden that forces these vital members of every city to endure long commutes, exorbitant living expenses, and the daunting costs of urban life. 

The Problem

In many vibrant cities, the cost of living has skyrocketed. The burden of high rental rates and additional expenses such as parking fees often consume 30-40% of an individual's paycheck. The upfront costs of moving, including deposits and essentials like internet and furniture, can reach $6,000, pushing many towards unsustainable debt. This harsh reality creates a chasm between the city's heartbeat and those who keep it beating.

Our Solution: Furnished Studio Apartments

Our innovative solution is furnished studio apartments designed to meet the needs of urban workers. These include all the essentials – a private shower and bath, a kitchenette with a stovetop and microwave, a refrigerator, and a mini washer and dryer. Importantly, our pricing includes all utilities, TV, and internet services, eliminating hidden costs.

Comfortable Spaces for Living

We plan to incorporate co-working spaces, social areas, and wellness facilities like yoga and exercise rooms. Where feasible, amenities such as swimming pools will be included, turning these apartments into communities where residents can work, socialize, and relax. 

Partnering with Cities

Our approach includes collaborating with city officials and local stakeholders. We seek to partner with cities with our vision, helping us acquire necessary tax incentives, land, and local investment. These partnerships will be the cornerstone of our strategy to realize our vision in cities eager to address their housing challenges.

Attainable Lifestyle Approach

Our strategy revolves around being a comprehensive partner in developing fully furnished studio apartments that meet the attainable housing needs of essential workers. We position ourselves as brand design and construction experts, providing the necessary equity pre-development capital to get projects off the ground.

By collaborating closely with cities and local governments, we aim to address housing shortages through sustainable and well-planned developments. We bring together well-respected, seasoned local developers and align our expertise and resources to deliver on our mission of creating attainable living options.

Two Key Drivers for Success:

  1. City Willingness: A commitment from the city to address its attainable housing needs and support quality developments.

  2. Experienced Local Developers: Partnering with reputable local developers who have a deep understanding of the community and can execute the project to the highest standards.

This synergistic approach not only helps solve housing challenges but also fosters strong local partnerships, ensuring that each project is well-integrated into the community and delivers long-term value.
