In each case, Aequo acquires the property, and founders are responsible for facilitating the redevelopment and resale of said property. Aequo has a vested interest in helping our founders gain practical experience in the real estate industry while generating profitable returns for resales. After capital is provided upfront by us and a project is completed, the proceeds are then split between the Fund and the founder accordingly.

Our Founders are composed of women and minority developers in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Richmond, Memphis, Chicago, and Portland, Maine. Aequo has a pipeline of 117 projects –mostly in Philadelphia and Baltimore–after just a year of operation.

In September of 2022, the City of Baltimore announced that Aequo Foundation will receive $2,000,000 as a recipient of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding! Those funds will be used to continue to support the redevelopment of vacant properties into affordable housing.
