ABOUT US
​
What We Do
​
One Stone Realty is a private commercial real estate firm based in Atlanta, Georgia. We develop luxury apartment communities in secondary and tertiary markets in the southeast U.S. We pursue multifamily development specifically as a means of providing our co-venture partners with alternative investment opportunities.
​
Our development philosophy begins with a focus on people. We are intentional in our decision-making about who to do business with, whether it be a land seller, design consultant, co-development partner, investor, management company, etc.
​
By making a substantial co-investment in each project that we develop, we seek alignment of interest with our investment partners who are namely sophisticated high net worth individuals or family offices.
​
One Stone Realty engages 3rd-party general contractors for its building activities and 3rd-party managers for its property operations. We apply a disciplined approach to site selection and design-cost analysis to development exceptional assets at best-in-class locations.
