PRODUCT

The supply of apartments classified as affordable is far below demand, leaving many low-income households in difficult situations. Meanwhile, current building practices are emissions intensive, creating a multi-faceted challenge. By investing in the development of new low-carbon, purpose-built rental housing, Heartwood Trust is supporting the growth of sustainable, liveable cities.

Main Impact Areas:

  • Affordable housing
  • Climate change
  • Climate adaptation and resilience

Asset Class: Real assets

“Our purpose at Heartwood is to create long-term value by building and investing in a new generation of climate-safe, purpose-built rental housing. This anchor investment from Realize Capital enables us to accelerate our mandate and provides a springboard for a more robust capital-raise strategy in Q1 of 2025.”
