About

Company

White Cloud Ventures is a commercial real estate investment firm based in the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. We invest in and lead private placement offerings that focus on multifamily (apartments) and hospitality (hotel & vacation) properties.

White Cloud Ventures has been a general partner in managing over $2.1M in residential & vacation property transactions in Raleigh-Durham and Atlanta, and is a limited partner in over $100M worth of real estate across 1000+ doors in metro areas such as Raleigh, NC, Denver, CO, and Mt. Arlington, NJ.

Currently, we're looking to partner and collaborate with passionate, experienced, and driven individuals and businesses to develop fresh, inviting, and innovative properties in a variety of real estate venture shapes to meet today's market needs. We believe that good ideas can come from anywhere, but that hard work, determination, and perserverance are what fuel success.
