The introduction of Qualified Opportunity Zone (‘QOZ’) has offered unprecedented tax benefits to incent the private sector to join City and community organizations in the effort to revitalize Chicago.   Eagle OZ was established by a group of local developers who are already active with creating and managing hundreds of affordable housing units in these disadvantaged neighborhoods.  Yes, we are investors, but at the same time we also have social conscience and we are already working to improve the overall quality of life in the areas south of Chicago’s downtown.  We were brought together by the shared vision to use the QOZ for an investment that is great for both investors and the subject communities at large.

​

We are a seasoned team of real estate professionals with a track record for successful residential property investments in Chicago.  Our wheelhouse includes the sourcing of property, construction, stabilization and management, all with strong ties to the local population.   Meet the leaders of Eagle QOZ:
