OVERVIEW

Northernstar Companies is a real estate development firm that acquires, owns, renovates, and operates affordable, workforce, and value-oriented assets across southeastern Wisconsin. Northernstar Companies partners with institutional investors – both domestically and internationally – to deliver quality primary housing in major metropolitan and suburban Wisconsin markets.

A primary focus of our mission is to provide hard-working families higher quality, well maintained, and safe value rental housing – a base for their pursuit of the American Dream. We invest not only in brick and mortar but in on-site services, amenities, and activities that add value to properties and bring our residents’ desired lifestyles within reach.

Families with incomes of $30,000 to $80,000 represent the largest segment of the rental housing market. We regard the ability to serve this market as a social, cultural, and financial opportunity.

NORTHTHERNSTAR COMPANIES CONCENTRATES ON THESE RENTAL SECTORS

Affordable Housing

Tax credit, project-based Section 8, and other rent-restricted properties, generally targeting residents at 40% – 80% of area median income.

NOAH

Naturally occurring affordable housing (NOAH). Older “C” properties that are upgraded to serve the needs of affordable residents.

Workforce Housing

“C” and “B” properties that serve residents at 80% – 120% of area median income.

Many of these markets are underserved by institutional capital. Northernstar Companies can acquire assets in these sectors and deliver risk-adjusted returns through current income and long-term capital appreciation.

Our professionals possess a strong track record in acquiring and operating value apartment communities – both in resident satisfaction and in providing attractive returns.

Northernstar Companies is an ACRE-born commercial real estate firm based in the Greater Milwaukee area. Founded in 2018, we prefer a local approach to development that uses our business as a vehicle to enhance the lives of those who live, work, and play in and around the projects we develop.
