From higher borrowing costs and limited access to pre-development funds to systemic barriers in accessing capital, these challenges reflect what many in real estate already know: it’s harder to deliver housing and commercial projects in underserved communities.
This capital gap has real consequences. Fewer deals move forward, and underserved communities remain without workforce housing, locally owned commercial spaces, and pathways to generational wealth.
At Curbstone Capital, we know the issue firsthand. We also know how to solve it. Our team brings nearly forty years of combined experience across commercial real estate disciplines and has delivered results on complex, cross-functional projects. But experience alone is not enough. Expanding housing supply in overlooked markets requires investment partners who embrace traditional metrics but also recognize that the gap is real—yet the opportunity is greater. This work requires partners who understand the broader context and are committed to relationships built on trust, performance, and lasting impact.
