Sourcing an Equity Partner to Make a Condo Deal Happen
An owner-occupier saw values rising on his street and wanted to capitalize on his home's favorable zoning. But, he lacked the strategy and the financial resources to turn opportunity into reality. NewCity developed the Project Vision: a five-story condo building with additions down, back, and up. After introducing a financial partner to provide the equity and secure the bank debt, NewCity managed the redevelopment of the single-family rowhome into eight condo units and a healthy return for the partners.

“As someone who has worked with NewCity on multiple projects over the years, I can say that their expertise in navigating complex real estate transformations and creating value from underutilized properties is impressive. My involvement has grown with each project, from being a passive investor at the beginning to becoming an active development partner on more recent deals.
