We are Concentric Community Advisors, your partner in impact investing.

Together, we invest in the future of affordable neighborhoods.

Get in Touch

We're building on common ground to support thriving communities.

Our mission is to unite the private and public sectors for real estate development projects that generate both returns and neighborhoods that are attainable, stable and filled with opportunities.

With years of experience under our belts, we're evolving with a new, collaborative vision.

Places where opportunities outnumber obstacles. Where zip codes never define potential. Where children have chances and choices to succeed. That's our core vision and the reality we want to create.

Our values come first.

Powerful Conversations

We value our ability to find common ground with people of every background.

True Alliances

We value building relationships based on earned, mutual trust from partners.

Enduring Investments

We value follow-through over short-term gains and hold each other accountable for our commitments.
