About Us
We're your trusted partner in real estate acquisition and transformation
Our Philosophy
Specializing in distressed renovation, repositioning, and development, we have a proven track record of breathing new life into neglected properties across multifamily, office, senior housing, and build-to-rent sectors.
Our intense value add, adaptive reuse strategies, and cash-on-cash focus ensure exceptional returns for our long-term investors.
With a non-institutional approach, calculated risk-taking, and boots on the ground mentality, we seize opportunities others might miss.
We manage all aspects of the process, prioritizing risk mitigation, transparency, and timely delivery to exceed expectations at every turn.
Our Journey
Emerging during the days of the late 80's financial crisis and the Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") – and investing in each successive recession – our executive team developed successful strategies that allow us to take calculated risks, which help create and preserve the wealth of our investors in both upswing and downswing market cycles.
In addition, we employ alternative investment strategies to continue to deliver top-tier results in our value-add, redevelopment, and adaptive reuse investment portfolios.

Leadership Team
Benjamin Alev
Managing Partner
Ben has been a real estate developer and investor in Arizona, California, Texas and Georgia over the past thirty-five years. Ben started his real estate career in 1989 during the RTC era providing expertise in all facets of distressed real estate. Projects included land purchases requiring full entitlements and single-family residences with vertical and horizontal construction as well as commercial projects consisting of office buildings, multi-family complexes and self-storage developments in the subject markets.
​
Over the last 15 years, Ben was a partner in a real estate investment firm that purchased and sold over 4,000 houses in 38 states. The firm also acquired over 4,000 apartment units, 1,500 self-storage units as well as several commercial properties. Sixty-three negotiated trades resulted in buying Notes and distressed assets across the country from major financial institutions. This included a nationwide $50 million Note portfolio of various asset types, resulting in the creation of a servicing platform to restructure and/or liquidate the subject loans. In 2012 Ben co-founded 58-Twelve, LLC which has been focused on buying and renovating apartments in Georgia and Texas. More recently an apartment conversion of the Worthington condominium complex in 2019 was completed, which is now known as The Ilion. This consisted of an initial purchase and workout of the Note, and buyback program of condominium units. This strategic program totaled approximately $45M in unit purchases and renovations for 190 units. This asset is two mid-rise towers located near the Battery/Truist Stadium. This project has been completed and is in the final lease up phase. It is financed by LaSalle Real Estate Investors Inc. Ben purchased the Ashford Green office complex in late December of 2022. This is located in Brookhaven at 4170 Ashford Dunwoody Road NE. The building is approximately 268,000 rentable square feet. The Seller was John Hancock Life Insurance Co./Manu Life.
