Founded in 2012, SHIFT is a nationally-recognized neighborhood investment group who executes real estate projects and financing strategies that create equitable and mixed-income communities for the long-term. We believe community-centered investments create shared and sustainable economic opportunity and growth, and impact that unites people, businesses, neighborhoods, and cities.
To date, SHIFT has invested over $330 million in the neighborhoods we serve to create ecosystems that strengthen entrepreneurship, creativity, and value for tenants, and health and safety for communities. We own and manage a mix of 2 million square feet of new and refactored industrial, commercial, and residential spaces for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and residents.
As a Certified B Corporation®, we are driven to put purpose first, paramount to profit made. We believe that by putting purpose first, we are driving stronger long-term outcomes for communities, society and our investors.

Creative – resourceful decision making, integrating both independence and collaboration
Unflappable – confident, flexible, deliberate, and diligent in crisis and in calm
Relentless – driving towards the goal, stopping only at completion
