About

In conjunction with these investments, the company also secured committed capital toward its target of $1B of property acquisitions over the next 18-24 months. In addition to continuing to partner with building developers and investors through property management, the company will look to expand its portfolio of owned properties, like Placemakr Premier SoBro, under this new umbrella. As the company seeks market expansion throughout the remainder of 2022, it continues to engage in new partnerships with real estate firms for growth. Its tech-enabled operating platform allows the company to blur the line between hospitality and home, delivering the best experiences of both in a single building.
