WHERE WE BUILD IS AS IMPORTANT TO US AS WHAT WE BUILD.

NaturalLofts leverages 25 plus years of real estate acquisition, development and management to select the best locations that attract the best tenants in the top rental markets.

Together with our Real Estate Agencies and Property Management Partners we are actively analyzing and acquiring land in our target markets which year over year, the rents are rising almost twice as fast in these “TECH HUBS”  as in the other 90 metros.

We are very strategic about land acquisition which is why  we developed a proprietary in house algorithm that generates rental scores to help us achieve maximum potential rent gains and equity return over time on our properties. Once we have satisfied our internal land acquisition benchmarks we then request 3rd party Rental Reports to confirm the viability of our rental projections.

The explosion of technologies in the last few decades has caused fundamental disruptions within the industries. Just as 3D Printing represents a Disruption to the Manufacturing Industry, NaturalLofts has leveraged a tsunami of advancements in renewable energy harvesting, sustainable building materials, digital manufacturing, BIM, energy benchmarking and Lean Construction Principles to become a disruptive building innovation that is poised to displace earlier outdated construction practices.

NaturalLofts High Performance, Sustainable, Buildings have a 10x value proposition over traditional multifamily Buildings.

In addition, by leveraging patented modular and panelization advancements in our construction process we can save money thru quicker lease up, save thousands of hours of labor from job sites, increase quality control, eliminate the material waste, punch list and decrease the people needed to manage and build on site and reduce further reducing our cost, environmental impact and the overall carbon foot-print of the project.

CITIES ARE THE LARGEST THINGS WE BUILD, AND TODAY MORE PEOPLE LIVE IN CITIES THAN THEY DO IN SUBURBS. HOW WE CONTINUE TO BUILD THEM OFFER THE GREATEST HOPE FOR OUR PLANET.

Sustainable growth of cities is crucial to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Consider that the 20 largest cities consume 80% of the world’s energy. Urban areas generate 80% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. According to The Global Footprint Network, we are currently growing at a rate that is using up the earth’s resources far faster than they can be replenished.

The commercial and residential building sector accounts for 39% of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States per year, more than any other sector. U.S. buildings alone are responsible for more CO2 emissions annually than those of any other country except China.

Most of these emissions come from the combustion of fossil fuels to provide heating, cooling and lighting, and to power appliances and electrical equipment.

BY TRANSFORMING THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT TO BE MORE ENERGY-EFFICIENT AND CLIMATE FRIENDLY, BUILDINGS LIKE NATURALLOFTS CAN PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN REDUCING THE THREAT OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS IS GOOD PEOPLE.

We realize cities are the heart of the world. They are where people live, work, study and play. When cities are strong, our nation’s children and families thrive, the economy flourishes, and the environment is cleaner, healthier, and better preserved for future generations.

In order for cities to remain strong people need more sustainable and affordable housing options. Today, for the first time in history over 50 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas causing prices to explode and CO2 emissions to rise as the tide of new housing demand continues.

MANAGING THIS URBAN HOUSING CRISIS HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES HUMANITY FACES AND AT THE SAME TIME ONE OF THE BIGGEST GLOBAL CONSTRUCTION OPPORTUNITIES OF THE 21ST CENTURY.

NaturalLofts recognizes this opportunity and intends to offer the most affordable and sustainable urban housing option in the marketplace.

In addition to affordability NaturalLofts recognizes the need to build healthier buildings for people that are fun to live in, well-connected and efficient making NaturalLofts an intelligent choice for urban dwellers.
