People

Our holistic approach to development encompasses every facet, from conception to completion, prioritizing our residents' well-being and the surrounding neighborhood's contextuality. We meticulously curate each project to deliver exceptional living spaces that are sustainable and inspiring and promote an intentional lifestyle. Our focus extends beyond the building to encompass the entire life of a resident and ensures our buildings positively impact the people who live in them. 

Profit

In the ever-shifting tides of market sentiment, where exuberance can quickly give way to gloom, we remain steadfast in our investment philosophy. We avoid attempts to time the market, recognizing that psychology often overtakes rationality. Instead, we focus on the enduring value of stable asset classes, crafting sustainable communities in markets poised for growth. Our approach is patient and deliberate. We are not beholden to rigid sale timelines, allowing us the flexibility to capitalize on favorable market conditions. We adhere to stringent criteria, targeting markets with high absorption rates, low vacancy levels, and robust population growth. This ensures our properties are well-positioned to meet rising demand. We believe in democratizing access to real estate investment opportunities. Our platform empowers individual accredited investors to invest with us, fostering a sense of shared purpose. This connection and our unwavering pursuit of strong risk-adjusted returns have historically been the cornerstone of our successful fundraising endeavors.

Place

Our developments are thoughtfully designed to foster thriving neighborhoods and vibrant places for humans. We profoundly emphasize people's needs, carefully considering the immediate and broader urban context in scale, mix of uses, and materiality. By prioritizing walkability, integrating multi-modal shared transportation options, and designing healthy, publicly accessible spaces, we aspire for our communities to be enriching places where people can gather and live.

Planet

At Neutral, we refuse to continue the degenerative paradigm of development. Instead, we know that development can be regenerative to enrich our lives, communities, and planet for future generations. Our mission is anchored in a comprehensive set of sustainability principles. This commitment is woven into every facet of our design and development process, underpinned by rigorous research and development in areas such as life cycle analysis, meticulous energy modeling, and in-depth environmental research. Our ultimate aspiration is to create buildings that foster a healthier, happier, more equitable, and regenerative ecosystem. We achieve this by using renewable resources, like mass timber sourced from responsibly managed forests, and remaining dedicated to exploring innovative materials that can further minimize the embodied carbon footprint of our projects. We reduce the operational carbon impact by diligent energy modeling and integrating passive housing concepts into our building designs. At Neutral, we are committed to redefining the development landscape and innovating a new paradigm of development that eventually can be entirely regenerative, ensuring we leave our planet better than we found it.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN REAL ESTATE
SUSTAINABLE INVESTING

Exceptional Returns

Democratizing real estate to create streamlined real estate investing.  

By allowing accredited investors to invest directly in a project, we’ve eliminated burdensome fees and expenses that other firms add on. We provide investors the chance to diversify their portfolio with direct ownership in local, sustainable real estate properties.

BENEFITS OF DIRECT INVESTING

The estimated returns were calculated using a 10-year hold period for each project. This calculation is intended for comparative purposes only, and the specific hold period for each project may vary, which ultimately affects the projected IRR for the project.

What is the Neutral Standard?

Our Sustainability Focus
The company was founded on a thesis to develop carbon-neutral buildings.

At The Neutral Project, we relentlessly aim to build carbon-neutral developments. This is done by following a novel approach to sustainability called The Neutral Standard. This Standard has a dual mandate to eliminate embodied carbon and reduce operational carbon emissions generated by our buildings.

Our strategy is to eliminate embodied carbon emissions in the built environment. 

The Neutral Standard’s method to eliminate embodied carbon is grounded in using mass timber as our primary structural material and selecting other low-carbon-intensive materials. There is an opportunity to sequester carbon within mass timber through the process of photosynthesis when it is sourced from forests that practice proper forest management. Our relentless pursuit of carbon neutrality demonstrates our unwavering commitment to building a sustainable future, significantly mitigating the embodied carbon impact of our developments.

Our methodology is to minimize operational carbon emissions during the operational use of the building.

The Neutral Standard prioritizes the reduction of operational carbon emissions by employing a range of strategies. These strategies include; employing passive house design strategies, utilizing energy-efficient appliances, designing a more efficient envelope, and implementing smart home technology to monitor and optimize energy usage. By significantly reducing a building's energy consumption, we effectively mitigate the carbon emissions associated with its operation, advancing our commitment to sustainability.
