Chaucer Creek Capital

What Chaucer Creek Capital does

Chaucer Creek Capital is a privately held commercial real estate investment firm founded in 2009 by Billy McClatchey and headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a secondary office in Charlotte. The firm specializes in the development and acquisition of multi-family and mixed-use properties throughout the Southeastern United States, with a current portfolio of more than 55 communities encompassing nearly 12,000 residential units across North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Georgia. Its customers are individual high-net-worth investors, institutional investors, wealth management firms, and family offices seeking direct exposure to multi-family real estate via stand-alone property investments rather than pooled funds.

The firm's core offerings are organized around three integrated service pillars: Property Acquisitions (sourcing under-capitalized multi-family assets in Southeast markets with high barriers to entry), Property Development (ground-up development of garden-style and mid-rise communities with transaction sizes of $25M–$150M), and Asset Management (overseeing capital improvement plans and managing third-party property management relationships). Property management is outsourced to a roster of specialist operators including Bell Partners, Greystar, Pegasus Residential, RPM, and RKW. The firm operates a proprietary Investor Portal at investors.chaucercreek.com for portfolio tracking and investor communications, but discloses no proprietary technology platform or in-house operating systems.

Chaucer Creek's revenue model is based on the deployment of investor capital into individual stand-alone property investments. Returns are generated through property appreciation, rental income, and eventual sale, with the firm itself investing meaningfully in each deal alongside LPs. The company reports $1.6B+ in assets developed and acquired, $820M+ in value created for investors, net-weighted IRRs exceeding 19% on realized investments, and average annual yields above 8%. Distribution is conducted through direct relationships with investors and family offices, supported by referrals and an industry network of brokers, contractors, architects, and engineers rather than broad marketing campaigns.
