Greatwater Opportunity Capital

Greatwater Opportunity Capital is a real estate private equity investment manager and development firm focused on emerging urban markets in the United States. Over the last decade, the principals of Greatwater have focused on investing in the immense opportunity that lies within Detroit’s neighborhoods, producing positive local outcomes. Since 2014, the members of Greatwater have acquired, rehabilitated, and leased over one million square feet of multifamily residential, commercial, and vacant land in several Detroit neighborhoods. Over the years, passionate community leaders, residents, and elected officials have worked tirelessly to stabilize housing and strengthen public service provision as the City emerges from a challenging history of disinvestment. Many of Detroit’s neighborhoods are now experiencing substantial increases in demand for housing and services, and our goal at Greatwater is to meet these needs as economically and thoughtfully as possible. Our Goal Producing positive local outcomes for residents by maintaining affordability and high occupancy supports the consistent flow of private capital that makes our work possible. This capital will also drive our emerging community investment strategy, which includes fundraisers for local nonprofits, providing housing that is accessible at a variety of income levels, and increased collaboration with the City of Detroit and other local stakeholders.
