Innovative Thinkers Leaping Toward the Up-and-Coming: Build-to-Rent Concepts.
It has become clear over the past few decades that renting will remain relevant. For many, the costs of buying a home are prohibitive. For others, the flexibility renting offers is appealing. Whatever the motivations that drive them, the fact remains: there are a lot of people who prefer renting. The demand is high. However, zoning restrictions, availability of suitable land, and other factors pose significant obstacles for developers. So, it’s no wonder the build-to-rent market continues to grow in relevance. Through this approach, we can take advantage of more opportunities to create rentals.
Not to mention, this model produces better results for rental property owners than owning a rental home in a traditional development would. In your average neighborhood, most of the homes adjacent to your rental property belong to homeowners, who may or may not care much about the maintenance of their house and lawn. In a build-to-rent community, the goal is simple: keep things beautiful to maintain and increase value. For this reason, the build-to-rent model creates neighborhoods that make a positive impact on the community and serve a real need: quality rental housing. That’s why we think it is the future of real estate development—a growing segment of our industry that is long overdue.

Where uncompromising meets credibility.
In some contexts, one could argue that perfectionism is a personality flaw. But real estate development certainly isn’t one of those. Enter, Jim Knight, our founder and the guiding influence behind our every move. His detail-oriented nature and genuine desire to be a positive factor in other people’s lives combine to make him uniquely suited to this profession.
Actively engaged in real estate since 1993, he has spent time learning the ins and outs of every aspect of the industry, from construction to real estate development and transactions, single-family homes to amenity-fueled apartment complexes. Now, he has established River North Real Estate Partners to solve the problems he has observed over time—and get his colleagues and investors what they want and need out of every project.
