Developing and investing in housing at the intersection of market fundamentals, placemaking, and long-term value creation.

Melrose Ascension Capital (MAC) is a Chicago-based private equity real estate development and investment firm that has developed $400 million, 1,300 units, and one million square feet of institutional multifamily projects in Chicago and other markets nationwide. MAC utilizes industry fundamentals, innovation, and a relationship-oriented approach to source, capitalize, and execute its multifamily projects alongside global capital partnerships, prioritizing catering each to demographics often outpriced and overlooked by other housing developers.

Beyond its development activities, MAC has built two complementary investment platforms: (i) a multifamily value-add platform acquiring sub-institutional assets in secondary markets; and (ii) a co-GP platform that partners with sponsors by providing programmatic credit enhancements, equity co-investments, and transaction execution support across property sectors and markets nationwide.
