Rhode Island

Overview

Rhode Island is a small but high-barrier market with institutional relevance anchored by its proximity to Boston, strong healthcare and education infrastructure, and long-term housing demand in coastal and urban corridors. Providence continues to see capital inflows targeting mixed-use redevelopment, student housing, and boutique multifamily.

With tight supply, complex entitlements, and strong rental fundamentals, Rhode Island presents attractive opportunities for co-GP alignment, capital structuring, and targeted asset management—especially in segments overlooked by large institutional players.
