about.

what we do.

Escala Capital specializes in the redevelopment of communities and their ecosystems through sustainable investments. We do our research. We know the neighborhood. We believe in real estate investments that create accessibility, growth, and real wealth creation.

our approach.

Our philosophy is in our name. Escala means to scale - and that’s exactly how we approach our investments.

We study the market cycles of prospective neighborhoods to understand exactly how they fit into the economy of their city. We take the time to sit down and learn the needs of the community and of the stakeholders. This means forming meaningful, lasting partnerships with local business owners, community organizations, and city officials. Only after that, will we gradually introduce the residential, commercial, and entertainment infrastructure that will truly enhance a community as a whole.

Our mission? To revitalize communities with authenticity and to deliver a successful real estate based investment vehicle that creates a long-term impact in people’s lives.

We inspire investment.

investment strategy.

Learn first, act second. Escala conducts rigorous market research to truly understand the market conditions of the city, the economic cycle of the neighborhood, and the appetite for development from community stakeholders.

We are value investors. Escala Capital participates in revitalization projects that are in-demand by the community.

Collaborate to win. Our team works closely with city officials, community leaders, and stakeholders to identify the development opportunities that meet our strict criteria:

Consistency
Margin of Safety
Cash flow requirements

Responsible development means doing our homework. We perform strict due diligence procedures throughout the acquisition phase. This includes hands-on management with our partners to optimize assets after stabilization.

sector focus.

Escala Capital invests in two primary sectors within the commercial property industry. These sectors form a sustainable foundation for the neighborhoods we work to develop.

Multi-Family: Our mission is to provide attainable housing options for the middle class. Ground up or rehab. We focus on value-add properties in the Tier B and Tier C class submarkets.

Retail: We listen to the community and provide the entertainment that’s in demand. This includes restaurants, bars, music venues, and community spaces.

region focus.

Understanding individual communities means understanding the region from a broader perspective. We follow macroeconomic trends closely to identify favorable submarkets within emerging metros, with a specific focus on the Midwestern and Southern United States.
