What We Do
Keyway is the AI-powered real estate investment manager.
We are a team of experienced real estate professionals, operators, engineers and data scientists who leverage our real estate expertise and innovative technology to unlock value and drive financial returns.
Data-driven: Keyway leverages AI, machine learning and data science to make better real estate investment decisions and achieve superior outcomes.
Efficient: We use technology at every stage of the real estate lifecycle – sourcing, underwriting, transacting, managing and selling – to achieve smoother, faster and lower-cost deals.
Transparent: Our proprietary technology aggregates highly-fragmented data into a centralized platform, providing increased transparency in a traditionally non-transparent asset class.
Our current commercial real estate strategies focus on Multifamily and Net Lease investments. For Multifamily, we are focused primarily on small-scale Class B properties in the Sun Belt due to its population and job growth. As values-based investors, we believe in making housing more affordable and accessible, while also improving the health, safety and wellness of our residents through ESG integration and other resident-first upgrades.
In addition to Multifamily investing, we partner with small businesses, particularly in the medical sector, to optimize the value of their underlying real estate portfolio. Our goal is to scale up the acquisition of net lease properties by becoming long-term capital providers and expansion partners to business owners, operators and investors.
