Our Story
After years of working across construction, finance, operations, and investment strategy, we saw an opportunity to build something of our own, a platform rooted in relationships, disciplined underwriting, and a long-term commitment to the community we call home. We didn’t start G7 to chase transactions. We started it to pursue the right opportunities with the right people and build projects that create durable value for investors while strengthening Wichita for the next generation.
What brought us together was a shared mindset: real estate is a team sport. The best outcomes come from pairing strong fundamentals with the right partners - brokers, lenders, legal counsel, operators, investors, and advisors, all aligned around a clear plan and a common standard of execution. Each project is different, and we believe winning requires the right roster, the right preparation, and the discipline to only pursue opportunities where we can truly add value.
G7 is our way of bringing that philosophy to life. It reflects where we’re from, how we work, and what we’re building: a relationship-driven investment platform focused on protecting and growing capital, creating lasting value, and contributing to a stronger Wichita over time.

What We Invest In
We invest in opportunities where we can protect and grow capital by staying inside our circle of competence—sectors, deal structures, and Midwest markets we know.
Our focus is broad but disciplined. We pursue unique situations across multifamily, mixed-use, and select commercial assets where fundamentals are clear, the basis makes sense, and the right team can execute the plan. We’re not chasing every deal—we’re assembling the right lineup for the right opportunity, and winning on disciplined underwriting and repeatable execution.
Our criteria is sector- and market-dependent. If you’re an investor or broker, reach out and we’ll share the current buy box and what we’re actively pursuing.
