OUR PHILOSOPHY

MISSION

Tree Line Ventures acquires, develops, and manages retail and multi-family properties throughout New England and select markets nationally.

APPROACH

Opportunistic in what we pursue, we ground our decisions in real estate fundamentals and alignment with macro trends. As investors, we balance risk and return, ever cognizant of that spot on the mountain called the tree line. It is a place with both blue skies ahead and refuge in a storm. As operators, we are guided by a strong sense of ethics and a commitment to do right by our partners, tenants, and communities.

ACQUISITION TARGETS

PAD RETAIL

Land sites, vacant buildings, and leased properties with near-term revisions on 0.75+ acre parcels in high traffic retail corridors with easy access and good visibility.

STRIP RETAIL

Service oriented neighborhood and community centers with excess parking and strong surrounding demographics.

MULTI-FAMILY

30+ unit suburban apartment complexes with 1960s or newer construction and value-add potential.
