ABOUT US

Good investing involves trade offs. Great investing doesn’t have to.

OUR MISSION

Catalyst creates innovative, scalable investment solutions to some of our nation’s most pressing challenges, forging pathways towards a more equitable, sustainable future.

 

As one of the nation’s leading, impact-oriented real estate investment firms, Catalyst owns over $1.3B worth of community-driven real estate across the US. Our impactful, market rate return-oriented projects catalyze neighborhood revitalization, generate economic activity, create affordable and workforce housing stock, increase access to vital community resources, and lead to greater environmental sustainability. We believe impact and returns aren’t at odds, but rather strengthen and enhance one another.
