IMPACT INVESTING IN MULTI-FAMILY REAL ESTATE
OpenPath is leading a movement to transform apartment complexes into
thriving, healthy communities, by making positive social and environmental
impact just as important as financial returns. Our current apartment complex
investments are valued at more than $260 million, and we target 14-16%
returns for our investors. We’re equally proud of the social and environmental
returns our investments yield for our residents and their communities.
OpenPath, with its impact program UrbanVillageTM
, invests in the social
capital and economic outlook of our residents through community
engagement activities, leadership development opportunities, improved
physical spaces, eco-responsibility initiatives and shared consumption
platforms that reduce the cost of living.

3. Long-Term Vision
OpenPath has proven that a traditional asset class, particularly one that serves millions of people, can be
the best venue for true impact investing. We’ve merged our expertise as real estate investment managers
with our passion for the individuals and families who make our properties their home. Our strategy in the
coming three years is to continue to generate above-market investment returns and measurable
community impact by investing another $100 million (with leveraged asset value of $400 million) that will
scale our vision to several new multi-dwelling communities in major metro areas around the U.S.

• Metro areas with high desirability index

• Opportunity to improve physical environment
and amenities

occupancy and rent levels
• Potential for a village-like community
(>100 units)
• Residents interested in increased
responsiveness from management
• Pent up demand from residents for more social
and/or community offerings
Investor Feedback
“My family trust has invested in 5 separate properties with OpenPath in 3 different markets. I’ve also
introduced OpenPath to several additional investors, which is not something I would consider unless I
had absolute faith and trust in OpenPath’s integrity and ability to perform. But the real story here is
OpenPath’s forward-thinking community program called UrbanVillage! Not only is the Trust earning
very favorable returns, but I get to feel really good about the social/environmental impact in which
my capital is making.”

clientsstartingin1999.
Peter formed Su Casa Investments in 2005 to acquire value-add apartment communities in the Western
States. Peter has owned either as a GP or a limited partner over 3500 units (dating back to 1999) in various
markets ranging from San Antonio, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Richland, WA, to Santa Rosa, CA, and now owns and
operates a portfolio of assets in AZ, CO, OR, TX & UT comprised of over 2200 units and growing.
Recognizing the value in a “whole property stewardship” approach to the business, Peter evolved his
platform to include “community building” and “greening” of resident lifestyles through the Urban Village
program. The OpenPath platform is the latest evolution of this approach and really embraces the notion
that “doing good” is also “good for business” and now measures success not only economically, but also
socially & environmentally.
