Built on Legacy. Driven by Opportunity. Focused on Long-Term Value Creation.

With over four decades of proven performance, our family-office backed real estate investment platform, B-29 Realty Investments, stands at the intersection of experience, vision, and execution in real estate. We have built a diversified and resilient platform that spans the full spectrum of real estate asset classes—from multi-family housing and single-family residential to industrial and commercial properties. 

Our approach is hands-on, strategic, and long-term. We don’t just invest—we create enduring, long-term generational value to better the communities in which we live and work.

What We Do

We are an active, hands-on family-office backed real estate investment platform with deep expertise across the real estate lifecycle. For over 40 years, we’ve developed, owned, and operated a broad portfolio of real estate assets across asset classes, geographies, and market cycles.

 

Our platform is defined by scale, flexibility, and long-term perspective. Our Portfolio includes:

  • 7,000+ Acres Held for Future Development

    • Strategically acquired and positioned for long-term growth across industrial, residential, and mixed-use applications.​

  • Industrial Buildings – Owned and Operated​

    • We manage a portfolio of mission-critical logistics and manufacturing facilities across high-demand markets.​

  • Camp Howze Rail-Served Industrial Park

    • A unique logistics asset offering direct rail access and multimodal connectivity, designed to meet the needs of today’s industrial users.

  • Ground Leases

    • Long-term, income-producing ground lease positions in high-value commercial and mixed-use locations.

  • Commercial Development

    • Ground-up retail, office, and mixed-use projects, guided by data, design, and community needs.

  • Residential Development

    • We build both multi-family and single-family communities, with an emphasis on livability, quality, and lasting value.​​​​​​​​​​

​​

Our Approach

We are not passive investors. We are deeply engaged owners and operators who bring capital, expertise, and execution capability to every project.

 

We care about creating lasting value—not just for our portfolio, but for the communities we help shape. From master-planned developments to infill projects, we aim to enhance quality of life, support economic growth, and leave every site better than we found it.

Strategic Partnerships

We value strong relationships and seek to collaborate with like-minded partners—developers, operators, landowners, and institutions—who share our commitment to thoughtful growth, disciplined execution, and long-term success.
