About Us

Breakwater Companies is established on the principle of defying popular sentiment and generating above-average returns relative to underlying risk. Rather than simply deploying capital, we prioritize detailed planning and execution for a limited number of projects. We are driven to create the highest value to all stakeholders, including tenants, partners, and the communities in which we work, through the creation of assets that will stand the test of time. 

Every property presents its own unique challenges and limitations, and we see this complexity as an opportunity  to excel. To succeed in all parts of the business cycle, we remain flexible, embrace new ideas, and continuously re-evaluate our assumptions. We believe that, aside from integrity, a tailored approach that includes adjustments to product type, contract terms, deal structure, development planning, entitlement, and exit strategy is necessary for each real estate venture to achieve success. 

We carefully select projects that we believe have the potential to produce outstanding results by implementing a more thoughtful development plan, engaging with stakeholders at a deeper level, and finding ways to differentiate ourselves from the conventional approach. This often leads us to pursue properties that other developers have shied away from due to apparent challenges or have ended up in distress. Our willingness to take on these projects and approach them differently is a critical factor in our ability to create value for our tenants, partners, and communities in which we work.
