Generational Investment Horizon

Kinship’s real estate investment mandate is simple: generate significant capital appreciation over 50+ years. While many investors focus on hold periods less than 5 years and often manage to return “optics”, fundraising cycles, and liquidity, Kinship invests without structural or funding constraints. Investments are only realized when project value has been maximized, thus mitigating inherent cyclical risk in the real estate sector.
