STEEL CITY MANAGEMENT is a boutique investment company that manages real estate projects for high net worth and institutional investors.   SCM identifies innovative, design-focused concepts and applies conservative assumptions to drive sustainable, risk-adjusted returns to its investors. With backgrounds in finance, entrepreneurship, and multifamily apartments, SCM has evolved into a private investment manager focused primarily on residential rental concepts.  Among these, our main focus is on single family rental communities (SFR) in fast-growing markets such as Minneapolis and Nashville. Our success in creating value in these markets stems from an unwavering commitment to prudent site selection, forward-thinking design, rigorous financial analysis, and a strong network of industry professionals in engineering, design, architecture, land planning, construction, marketing, leasing, and property management. Each project that we take on entails a painstaking process of strategic market positioning in locations that are insulated from competition.  We analyze the needs of each community and we seek increased demand by way of consumer trends and population and job growth. Ultimately, SCM remains committed to complete transparency and strong communication with our investors throughout all phases of each development.  Diligence and integrity are at the core of what we do as we look forward to continuing to serve and grow our investor network.
