Pursuing a deeper alignment of capital, returns, and value through award-winning innovation in sustainable real estate development.
Morgan Creek Ventures is a sustainable, design-driven real estate development firm based in Boulder, CO. Founded by Andrew Bush in 2001, the firm focuses on neighborhoods at the vanguard of change in a select group of creative Western cities. We believe that over time, this approach allows us to hone our investment strategy, identifying superior development opportunities.
From retrofits to major new construction projects, the breadth of our experience allows us to develop well-designed, creative spaces that last. The 750,000+ square feet of commercial real estate we’ve overseen across the United States includes the first LEED-Platinum Commercial Interior space in the country and the first solar powered high-performance multi-tenant building in Colorado. Our focus on sustainability and innovation for over two decades underlies our approach to workspace design, multi-family housing and resort properties, creating true lasting value no matter the undertaking.
Experience
Experience comes with time. You develop the ability to look ahead, anticipating opportunities and challenges, because you have been there before. Decades of varied experience across the country has given us the perspective to look beyond the base challenges associated with development, and spend more time focused on sustainability, design, and long-term value creation. The result is fewer mistakes, higher quality, and more consistent performance.
Time
Time is the friend and the enemy of real estate. Time helps to create value by reducing debt and creating appreciation relative to other assets. Time improves good locations, but market cycles can result in depreciation and reduced performance. We try to take advantage of the benefits of time and guard against potential negative impacts by developing lasting assets.
Performance
We develop assets that will perform better over time. Well-designed real estate projects, with a focus on sustainability, in the right neighborhoods within the right cities perform better financially. A more attractive product, that costs less to operate, in a better location will always outperform its competitive set in the long run.
