About NRI
NRI is a privately held real estate investment company. Our focus on commercial and residential real estate is built upon our belief that small investments in communities and local culture result in large returns in real estate value. We believe in finding that value by identifying and investing in opportunistic markets, through real estate assets and other financial instruments.
Our ability to identify opportunity is a function of experience and relationships. Each of our principals and senior executives has extensive experience in real estate capital markets, acquisition, asset management, development, construction and risk management. We understand what tenants want and are able to structure transactions that satisfy their objectives while enhancing the value of our projects and that of our investors.
NRI believes in fostering cultural movements and communities in undiscovered areas, and in making their buildings the beacons of these movements.

We provide our partners with thoughtful insights and multiple strategies. Our communication is constant and thorough so that all parties can make intelligent decisions. Our reporting is of the highest standards and we bring transparency to every aspect of our operation and each investment.
Our transactions are conservatively underwritten with prudent and moderate debt levels, sufficient interest, capital and leasing reserves and appropriate levels of working capital. We couple this conservative approach with a very aggressive implementation of the collective strategy in order to maximize the value of the investment.
With a current annual acquisition and development volume exceeding $100 million of commercial and residential projects, we are aggressively expanding our presence.
To better serve our investors, tenants, and surrounding communities, we have a clearly defined list of qualifications that properties must meet before we consider taking ownership.
