NOVU Residential is a privately held, founder-led real estate investment and development company based in Birmingham, AL. Since our founding in 2022, we’ve focused on uncovering unique opportunities in private real estate that generate long-term value for our investors.
At NOVU, we believe in removing the barriers that have traditionally kept individual investors out of institutional-quality real estate. Through our investor platform, accredited investors and financial professionals can now access direct equity opportunities in high-growth markets—investments once reserved for hedge funds, family offices, and large institutions.
With decades of combined experience in real estate investment, development, and asset management, NOVU Residential delivers access to a curated portfolio of private real estate opportunities designed to build long-term value. We focus on direct investments across multifamily and mixed-use, and select alternative asset classes, including 1031 exchange-eligible properties and private placements tailored for Accredited Investors, Financial Advisors, RIAs, and Family Offices.
Our approach is straightforward: we raise capital for deals that make sense. Each investment must enhance the surrounding community, improve the underlying asset, and deliver value to our investors.
At NOVU, we don’t rely on spreadsheets alone—we personally visit every property and conduct deep, hands-on due diligence before offering an opportunity to our investors. This includes evaluating the operating partners, verifying the strength of the financial model, assessing the development or value-add strategy, and planning a clear and realistic exit.
Because we’re an experienced real estate operator first, our insights go beyond the numbers. We know what works—and what doesn’t. Investors trust us because we only present opportunities that meet our high standards, and we invest our own capital alongside our clients in every offering. If we wouldn’t put our money in a deal, we won’t ask you to either

At NOVU Residential, we combine deep market experience with a hands-on investment philosophy to deliver smart, strategic opportunities in private real estate. Here's why accredited investors, advisors, and family offices choose to partner with us:
We provide investors full access through an investor portal, which includes on site camera viewing, quarterly reports, tax documents, and operating financials on every offering to ensure complete transparency.
We focus on the product and markets we know and know well. Our knowledge and proximity allows us to leverage deep-rooted relationships and real-time local insight, giving our investors an edge in competitive environments.
We don’t sit back and wait for appreciation. We actively pursue value-add and development opportunities where we can improve the property, grow cash flow, and enhance long-term returns. Our goal is to create value at every stage—not just at the exit.
Our alignment with investors is personal, financial, and strategic.
