Revitalizing urban neighborhoods and building wealth

We provide financial resources to buy back the block and advocate for racial equity. Gentrification doesn't live here.

Core Values

RevitalRise is committed to investing in communities to reduce the racial wealth gap

Equity

We are about closing the racial wealth gap through a new kind of real estate development that opens new doors for Black families and companies to build generational wealth.

Vision

We believe that revitalization of financially struggling communities does not have to mean displacement of existing families.

Relentlessness

In order to revitalize communities and provide substantial returns for our investors, we must be unstoppable in our approach. Barriers and challenges only create more opportunities for future success.

Our Vision

RevitalRise is building the first of dozens of mixed-use developments that will close the racial wealth gap through home ownership, business incubation, and financial investment opportunities. These developments will be holistic communities where families can live, work, and thrive. They will be culturally centered, physically healthy, and socially impactful.

Leadership Team

Over 20 years of real estate experience. Even more fighting for racial equity.
